Pros:

Property was beautiful, the acrobatics team was a pleasure throughout the property and the shows.

Cons:

They had a cappuccino machine, which was filled with ants. So when you dispersed a coffee, if you looked closely, you’d realize there are ants filled in it.

Old style vibes and a quality stay
Pros:

Such a pleasure to be at Stanley. Always stayed at more expensive hotels in Nairobi and Stanley is first choice from here. Staff so attentive, food is good, rooms as good as anywhere. The place has character and the whole vibe is old wood and history.
