Stay cancelled.
Pros:

The garden surroundings were actually very nice

Cons:

I had booked a room with airconditioning, that was a non negotiable requirement for me, they placed me in a room without aircon because of works being done creating a little noise during the day. After complaining about it, I was moved, but there were still other ammenities listed in the advertising that were not in the room. Furthermore, unlike all other hotels, they wouldn't add a bed to the room to enable an extra guest. So I decided to leave this hotel and go to one which has all that is advertised + extra beds. I asked for a refund and the receptionist tried to tell me that refunds were not possible because of credit card payment. I knew that to be a lie and called them out on it so they eventually refunded the unused amount. But I shouldn't have to have fought for it and should NEVER be lied to. Very poor & dishonest business practices.

Lovely stay, great location for tourism or training/conference.
Pros:

I stayed at the hotel for a week. There is a lovely outdoor dining area and garden, and I had a spacious room with very comfortable bed. The training room we used was large and light, and had the necessary amenities; there was a generous buffet for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The staff were friendly and helpful. Many thanks!

Pros:

Staff is very friendly and professional, the facility is in a great location, tucked away under nice natural surroundings.

The toilet and shower were disgusting and badly needed repair. Shower had stagnant water which attracted mosquitoes .

The water from the sink was brown and scary. I did not dare use it.

The rooms without balconies feel dark and creepy.

The food could be improved.

I felt comfortable in a strange place
Pros:

The hospitality from the Staff was very excellent. They were supportive and welcoming. I did not find any difficulty accessing places around during my stay, and they supported me with making calls and accessing money when I got a challenge and calling for an Uber to drop me at the airport.

Cons:

My room didn't have hot water. Nairobi is so cold during this season, and it was not ok with me showering cold water

Clean, safe and affordable with excellent service from the friendly team & good wifi
Pros:

The staff at the Convent are the stars of the show at this Lavington hotel, 30 minutes from JKIA on the expressway. Every team, from the kitchen and housekeeping to the restaurant and reception, delivered five-star service. The rooms are comfortable and clean. For a more peaceful stay I'd recommend rooms overlooking the compound at the back rather than the rooms overlooking the entrance. The rooms are exceptionally clean although the bathrooms are beginning to show their age. There was always plenty of water even when the place was full. The towels were fluffy and clean. The wifi was good enough to stream netflix etc. And the garden and restaurant areas are very pleasant - also with wifi. Would be happy to stay here again. This is a popular conference hotel during the week which makes it buzzy. Quieter at the weekends

Room 108
Pros:

The hotel has spacious rooms the rooms are well clean only down thing I noted is theat ceramic are stained a bit of bleaching would do.
Bedding are sparkling white, The front office team are very help full.The hotel does not sell alcohol so in case you need a quick drink it's closer to joints like Mialle or the social house.Food is always done well.
The hotel is not that trendy but the management could do better to improve the facility by adding guest amenity.
