modern, clean stay in Nairobi
Pros:

Tourists in Africa on safari tend to avoid Nairobi. It’s worth a couple of nights there to spend a day in Nairobi, visit the museums, etc. This is perfectly modern cosmopolitan hotel, clean and in a good location and good security. We skipped the buffet breakfast and walked 5-10 minutes to the nearby mall where there were a couple good cafe choices with full kitchen breakfasts and good pastries.

Cons:

Don’t rely on the concierge to book a restaurant reservation. He forgot the day before (I think) and booked too late the day of, and we wound up with a very late table at Carnivore – which is definitely an experience but doesn’t live up to the hype. It’s a Brazilian steakhouse which also has crocodile (actually very good), ox testicles (meh), ostrich meatballs (meh).

Amazing staff, great location, shame about rooms.
Pros:

Staff amazing. Especially chefs who looked after us so well. Chef Ganesh and Chef Tony particularly.

Cons:

Suites were poorly furnished and designed. Huge space with sparse furniture. Walk in showers poorly designed with water always flooding bathroom. Pillows were awful.

Heel mooi hotel met vriendelijk personeel.
Pros:

Personeel is erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam.

Cons:

Security is een beetje too much. Als je iets te eten mee naar binnen neemt, moet je een formulier invullen.

Pros:

The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Bedrooms were comfortable and all areas were spotlessly clean and we'll maintained.

Cons:

Security was tight at the entrance, which made us feel safe while in the building but that it would be unwise to wander beyond the perimeter.
