Very nice hotel.
Pros:

Very friendly and helpful staff. The hotel is very nice, with many areas, nice spa, very clean. We tried one of the restaurants and the food was very good.

Cons:

Rooms a little small but comfortable - too close to the freeway and thus a lot of car pollution and noise as soon as you step out

Great hotel for central Nairobi
Pros:

Great spot with wonderful staff. The guys at the entrance super helpful with bags and always cheerful. Faifax and Frantz were legends. The breakfast was amazing and Curtis at the juice bar kick started our morning with the best fresh juices.

The best breakfast team ever Villa Rosa Kempinski
Pros:

I cannot express enough how amazing the breakfast staff are here at the Villa Rosa Kempinski. Valery, Christine and Pauline have made my wife (who has limited mobility) feel really special by personally serving her and more impressively 5 days in they know exactly what she wants without her ordering.Chefs Regina and Janet have made her, her own personalized bowl of Wimbi porridge even when it is not on the buffet and the freshly cooked cakes that Chef Stephanie brings around each day are delicious. Christine, Catherine and Pauline have made me feel really welcome too and are totally focussed on making our breakfast a lovely experience. They have helped me with my limited Swahili and not laughed too much (unlike my Kenyan wife) when I get the pronunciation a tad wrong! The rest of the staff have been brilliant too, really welcoming, attentive and kind.
I would thoroughly recommend this team and they all deserve to be rewarded for their amazing service.
This team is the best breakfast service I have ever experienced

Romantic Afternoon Tea
Pros:

Came with my dear hubby for afternoon tea. The atmosphere was outdoors in a magical garden setting. Service was impeccable. Now on to the food. They made my husband’s special order string chai Marsala just the way he likes it. I had two varieties of tea. The tower had many selections of both savory and sweet items. We enjoyed all of it but since there’s so much, we were happy to get carry out boxes. They even served a cake with gorgeous writing saying, “Happy 15th Anniversary!” It was so relaxing and romantic.

Beautiful hotel in central Nairobi!
Pros:

I chose this hotel to spend my last few days in east Africa. Was just great and would come back in the future. Lovely staff and lots of places to eat/hangout. I spent the majority of my time at the pool to decompress.

A Wonderful Graduation Celebration at Kempinski Villa Rosa
Pros:

We celebrated my husband’s graduation with a family lunch at Kempinski Villa Rosa, and it was a truly wonderful experience.
We were a group of 20 guests and had placed our orders in advance. Judith, who works in guest relations, was very helpful and welcoming. She handled our inquiries patiently, showed us around, and made sure everything was well coordinated. Our server, Japeth, managed the meal exceptionally well. Every order was served correctly, and despite the size of our group, everything flowed smoothly.
What stood out most was Judith’s incredible patience, professionalism, and attentiveness, as well as Japeth’s excellent service. They both made sure everyone felt well taken care of throughout the celebration.
Thank you, Judith, Japeth, and the entire team at Kempinski Villa Rosa, for helping make such a special milestone in our family’s life even more memorable. Your excellent service played a big part in the success of our celebration. We look forward to visiting again!
