Pros:

Hotel má dobrú polohu ak potrebujete ísť na/z letisko, cca 15 min. autom. Takisto je hneď vedľa Nairobi national park, hotel poskytuje aj izby s výhľadom na park. Treba si však pýtať izby na vyššom poschodí. Wifi fungovala, parkovisko bolo k dispozícii bezplatne. Vo vnútri budovy okrem hotela sú aj iné reštaurácie, napr. brazílska a ak chcete zažiť kúsok zimy, tak sa tam nachádza aj najväčšie zimné klzisko vo východnej Afrike :)

Cons:

Kúpeľne sú staršie, zišla by sa rekonštrukcia a tiež koberce neboli veľmi čisté.

Ideal für die Nacht in Nairobi, wenn man am nächsten Tag weiterreist.
Pros:

Kostenloser Shuttle vom Flughafen zum Hotel. Es hat alles perfekt geklappt.

Cons:

Schade fanden wir, dass der Fitnessraun nicht rundum die Uhr zu nutzen war. Da wir sehr früh abreisen mussten, konnten wir ihn nicht nutzen.

Pros:

The location was good. Not far from the airport. This is not a vacation spot, obviously. It's more of a truck stop on the way to some place else. The staff were attentive and helpful.

Cons:

There is no ac here. It's a medieval dusty central air system that makes a lot of noise but doesn't actually do anything. There is a thermostat but can't set your own temperature, which was interesting. This was quite disappointing to those of us who like to sleep at 68 Fahrenheit. The air in the room from this old system was dusty by morning we both had colds and are still recovering. Wouldn't recommend for people who have history of asthma or sensitive respiratory issues.
