Guest Reviews
Location, staff and food.
A bit outdated but good value.
Great location, friendly staff, good breakfast.
The shower curtain needs to be much shorter. If put inside the tub/shower, it drags 1/3 of the way across the bottom of the tub. If outside the tub, water gets on the floor.
It is very close to JFK Airport. It is clean and the beds are comfortable. The breakfast is adequate. There is a free hotel shuttle every hour which takes you directly to the terminal of your departure. There is also a free shuttle that picks you up at Federal Circle (an AirTram stop) at the airport every 15-30 minutes. And, if coming by train, you can take LIR to
Jamaica from Penn Station, take AirTram
to Federal Circle and take free hotel shuttle to the hotel.
There are no restaurants within walking distance. The hotel gave us information about delivery from a Chinese restaurant and pizza place. But, there are at least restaurants within a $9 Uber ride away. One is Don Pepe, an Italian restaurant, and the other is Trinciti Roti shop, which only has 2 tables but also has delivery. The hotel should provide more information about nearby restaurant/delivery options.
every thing is ok
nothing
A little but if upgrade of the restaurant area would be ideal
Outdated doors to rooms, restaurant
It was convenient from my location of purpose
Authentic old hotel, with all historic features. Maybe not the latest modern facilities, but unique it is original style. Perfectly located in the old city centre
The a la carte breakfast was excellent with many choices. Good tea with the bonus of getting steamed milk with the tea. The bar area is very relaxing. The front desk person was very helpful and charged my telephone (see note below why I could not charge my telephone in the room.
The coffee was not the greatest (but my husband is Ethiopian therefore very picky about coffee.
The first night (Saturday night) was quiet. But the room was facing the Main Street and during the weekdays it is noisy.
No universal plug for charging the telephone (only Chinese/Kenyan plugs)

Dirty only one towel and safe didn’t work.
STAFFs are really kind
hotel is too old I guess. not even sure they still use old English stylish key for the door lock. There was no mosquito net in the bed I used.
Smack Bang in the middle of Nairobi center. Nice staff and really funky vintage decor. Interesting ancient manual elevator!
No hot water. Room was small and poorly lit. Everything a bit worn out. A tad pricey for what you get..
