Cons:

I had to be transferred twice because the rooms were stuffy and leaking from the ceiling. Eventually the last room was great.

Good location for Nairobi National Park.
Pros:

The hotel was very clean and the staff were extremely helpful. The buffet breakfast was very good too. The dining room looks over Nairobi National Park and we saw some giraffe (with binoculars) while eating breakfast one morning .

Cons:

Only 2 bottles of water per room per day. There are no self service washing facilities and the hotel is over 1 km from a supermarket, cafe or restaurant so it is not easy to eat out.
