Avoid this hotel
Pros:

Garden was nice

Cons:

We did a late booking and when we arrived, the staff made us wait 15 minutes outside the gate, while verifying our booking.

Inside we quickly discovered that booking.com had "upgraded" our room from double with balcony, to a twin without balcony. A mistake that could easily have been corrected, since the double room was still available and listed at booking.com at the same price. However the host refused unless we paid twice the rate.

The room was VERY disappointing as well. Very small and sparsely decorated. WiFi was too weak to be functional and the water wasn't hot. The TV was the size of a tablet and useless unless you were standing right in front of it.

Through decades of staying in hundreds of hotels around the world, Villa Leone ranks among the worst experiences I have ever had. There are hotels in Nairobi for less than $20 a night that provide better service than this.

Great value for money.
Pros:

Staff are very friendly and always offering assistance. Property is very secure. Very kind gesture of front desk staff offering a pail and dipper (timba and tabo), usually requested by Filipino guests. Dining staff are also very courteous and assisting.There is a variety of food in buffet breakfast everyday. Very accommodating on request regarding late check out. Very spacious room.

Cons:

No water kettle in the room. Probably, if an electric fan can be provided when weather is sometimes hot.

Pros:

Great deal via booking.com that was honoured. Great view from my room facing the garden, on the first floor. The grounds staff are always kind and welcoming. The ladies (staff) are attentive to your needs. Close to the UN venue but not really walkable. Safety.

Cons:

The shower on first floor doesn't have much hot water, I hope that gets fixed. It would be good to keep mosquito coils in the room.

Disappointed
Pros:

The breakfast and the staff

Cons:

What I expected based on the photos on booking.com is not what I found on ground. I really was disappointed in the room I was given. We were 3 customers on the premise, of which 2 of them were a couple and so, my assumption was that what I was given was one of their best rooms for a single occupancy. They were also making renovations and so I was always asked to alight the cab from outside the gate and then walk it. I assumed it was because of the renovations but the team at the gate claimed they were under instructions to have guests alight from their cabs from outside the gate for security purposes. All in all, I really didn't like my stay although the staff really tried to make it comfortable.
