Nice for short spot
Pros:

It’s a good room for that price - big apartment with balcony, our own kitchen and a dining room. We checked out at night, it’s not safe region for this time, but security has escorted us to the taxi and we felt ourselves safety. Also they have a pool on the roof, but we didn’t use it, because we stayed there only for a half a day. It’s near to the bus station Tahmeed (5 min by taxi), it was the most important moment to stay there.

Average accommodation, for the same money, we could have found a better place
Pros:

The rooms are big and spacious. However, the housekeeping maintenance of the rooms is just about adequate.

Cons:

There is no porch to enter the hotel. Neither there is any parking facility. The reception is very small of the hotel and is inside a mall which makes it very difficult for customers to enter and keep safe themselves as well as their bags.

Acceptabel til god standard. Value for money.
Pros:

God placering. God sikkerhed. Altid rent og klargjort. Acceptabel til god (afrikansk) standard til en rimelig pris. Serviceorienteret personale.

Cons:

Køkkenet er kun til at lave te/kaffe, ikke mad. Og så (som regel delvist fungerende) køleskab til afkøling af drikkevarer og købt mad.

Value for money. Foretrukne base i Nairobi.
Pros:

Beliggenhed, sikkerhed, personalet. God værdi for pengene. Min foretrukne base i Nairobi.

Cons:

Køkkenet er for tarveligt/mangelfuldt på mange værelser. (Har prøvet vel 10 forskellige nu.) Badekar i stedet for bruseniche.

Séjour agréable, je reviendrai certainement
Pros:

J'aime particulièrement le dévouement du personnel et la localisation au cœur de la ville

Cons:

La douche est problématique car ne disposant que de la douche de tête et non de la douchette à la main ce qui oblige à composer le mélange eau froide/ eau chaude en étant sous la douche!
