9.3
Staff repeatedly described as friendly and helpful (airport pick-up, 24hr shuttle, assistance with dietary needs); one isolated payment-email issue that was resolved.
Location
9
Excellent for airport access and very close to the terminal; one mention of freeway proximity making entry/exit a bit awkward and one comment that location felt 'slightly off'.

Overall Experience
9.3
Most guests reported very positive stays ('perfect', 'lovely', 'fabulous') with minor issues that did not overshadow the overall satisfaction.

Buono ma fuori mano
Pros:

La struttora

Cons:

La posizione non è comoda alla città.
Ho dovuto farmi cambiare la camera (come molti altri miei colleghi) perché quelle assegnate erano troppo rumorose perché molto vicine ad un locale notturno molto vicino con musica a palla tua la notte.

Good place to stay if you need to be close to the airport or train station
Pros:

Big bedroom, comfortable beds, good breakfast, location good if going to the airport or train station

Cons:

Only one bed was done for 2 adults and 1 kid and then staff had to come to set up an extra bed (which we had to tip). Breakfast was good but not a lot of options for lactose intolerants. Pool was very busy - apparently people from outside can use the pool and they had a birthday party there which brought too many people and noise.

Pros:

Sehr nettes Personal, waren nur eine Nacht vor der Abreise per Flugzeug dort - dafür war die Lage perfekt mit inkludiertem Flugzeugshuttle. Guter Roomservive. Strenge Sicherheitskontrollen. Konnten nach dem Check out noch das Gym und die Dusche nutzen.

I would not stay there again.
Pros:

The rooms are very nice. Front desk staff was friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The restaurant. I have never had such bad service in my life, and it was every single meal.
The food is really bad too, and expensive.

Pros:

I love the hotel’s proximity. Since we landed in Nairobi on a red-eye, it was great that the hotel picked us up and took us there. The amenities, the beds, the food- everything was 10/10. Everything was 10/10. Would recommend to anyone considering traveling to Nairobi.

Cons:

The check-in process took longer than expected because they had trouble finding my reservation. I had contacted the hotel two weeks before my stay, worried I’d run into this, and it made me nervous that we wouldn’t be able to stay after traveling for 20+ hours.

ideaal overnachtingshotel tussen de vluchten door!
Pros:

zoals iedere keer als we hier overnachten is het een feestje, wat een mooie kamers en het personeel is lief en uitstekend.
De shuttlebus heeft ons keurig op tijd gehaald en weer terug naar de airport gebracht!

Cons:

eigenlijk is er niets tegen gevallen! We gaan op naar een volgend bezoekje!

Very dissatisfied!
Pros:

Very new and nicely appointed

Cons:

Upon arriving and despite handing over the booking confirmation form, the receptionist provided us with a single key only. When asked where was the key to the 2nd room, she said that we were all in the one room. I pointed out that the booking was for 2 rooms and so we had to wait 20 minutes for this to be sorted. Even when handed the keys, we later discovered that despite booking 2 Double Superior rooms, one was a Double Executive and the other was just a Double. The jug for tea/coffee in one of the rooms had a power cable that wouldn’t fit in any of the outlets (had to use our own travel adapter), despite being double rooms, only a single dental care kit was provided. Drinks took over 40 minutes to be delivered in the bar…. When we sat for dinner, we were provided a table for 2 despite there being 3 of us and the 3rd setting took 45 minutes to bee put in place.
