Must be the best hotel in Nairobi.
Pros:

From the first moment we arrived we were welcomed by all the staff. Notably, Nixon who met us when we first arrived at midnight, Christine who tended to us during our evening meal in the hotel restaurant, Caroline who arranged transport to the Giraffe Centre (definitely worth a visit) and many others. Their friendliness, professionalism and overall attitude made our visit to the Sarova Stanley, a pleasure. Also, the room was fabulous. Thanks to all.

Great historical hotel in the heart of Nairobi.
Pros:

The staff are amazing. It’s a wonderful walk into the history of Nairobi and you can see so much of it in the photos all around. The spa and pool were lovely to enjoy, Elan even got the steam ready with eucalyptus for me. and there are many places to eat and the exchange bar is really comfortable. Beds were comfortable too.

Cons:

Nothing. It was a great place to spend our last night in Kenya.

Pros:

It is a very nice historical hotel in downtown Nairobi - with a lot of exciting hustle and bustle going on outside (I quite enjoy that!). I loved the swimming pool area - and the sweet staff who asked me if I was okay when I visited the restaurant with very colorful socks and no shoes made my laugh! (I think the name was Jackie, thank you for the laughter!). Would definitely come back!
