Average hotel that over charging on everything….
Pros:

It has a swimming pool.

Cons:

- Overpriced menu. Compared it to the airport hotel by Jombo, we were shocked by the prices on the menu. But we had no other choices and had to dine at the overpriced restaurant.
- 12USD for a short shuttle ride. We expected an airport hotel will offer complimentary airport shuttle as the hotels by Jombo. And the front desk suggested us to leave 45mins before checkin started. We were surprised as the airport is just the other side of the road and that’s the reason we stayed at this hotel. The front desk said the traffics could be very bad. When we got on the shuttle, the driver was surprised that we left so early. He commented that the front desk sometimes doesn’t have the best knowledge on the traffic.

Great hotel, and schedule a massage with Sheila!
Pros:

The Hotel was staffed by friendly people. The pool was lovely to sit around. Definitely get a massage with Sheila; it was probably the best massage I've ever had and reasonably priced! Once my room cooled off (it was hot when I first arrived as you have to put your card in the slot for electric), it felt wonderful! The food at the hotel was excellent. The hotel was gated and secure. There was a cute store inside. The breakfast was excellent. I definitley recommend!

Cons:

A large bottle (maybe a liter?) of water was priced pretty high - $8/bottle. More bottled water would have been nice to have in the room. We only had two smallish bottles the first night. The next night, they did give us four. But, as hot as it is in Nairobi, we had to buy more.

Beliggenheden var fint med udsigt the NNP. Betjeningen var imødekommende og kompetent.
Pros:

Morgenmaden var god. Andre hoteller i samme prisklasse har expresso kaffe inkluderet.

Cons:

Der var høj musik alle steder. Det ville være fint, hvis der i cafe-området var noget mere afslappende musik og ikke så højt.

AMAZING Staff & Fantastic Hotel! 💙
Pros:

Tamarind Tree is an AMAZING hotel in Nairobi. The property is secure, safe, and welcoming. We stayed here for a total of 7 nights throughout July for our wheelchair accessible 12 day safari with a group of 16 travelers. Our first stay was 5 nights, then 2 nights, and each time was fantastic!

I am an ambulatory wheelchair user and found the property very easy to get around. Most places had tiled floors and there is a ramp in the entrance. The hallway to our room required a key card to open, which could be difficult to open the door on your own, but felt very safe.

Our room was very spacious with incredibly comfortable mattress that was firm and supportive without being hard. There was a TV and large window but it was still quiet. The bathroom is large with a walk in shower and separate toilet with a frosted glass door. This was fine for us but for two friends sharing a room may be a little uncomfortable. There was a kettle, fridge, water and selection of tea and coffee.

There is a fantastic breakfast buffet with every option you could ask for - egg station, pancakes, sausage, local food, selection of yoghurt, fruit, cereal, breads, pastries, juices and more. There is plenty of seating both inside and outside on the terrace overlooking the pool. We ate breakfast, lunch and dinner here and each time the food was delicious. There is a live band area near the bar with outdoor seating as well, where we hung out.

The pool was a great temperature for us and there were plenty of loungers, umbrellas and tables surrounding it. We also got a massage and it was very a very relaxing experience. I would recommend the spa!

What stands out for me was the EXCEPTIONAL STAFF! Honestly, the staff at Tamarind Tree were the best - thoughtful, helpful, cheerful, polite and friendly. Jacqueline, Joan, Emmanuel, Evelyn, Sylvia, Gloria, Irene (manager) and more were absolutely incredible and were always smiling! We loved our stay, hope to be back and highly recommend this hotel!

Cons:

It is a popular hotel and can get busy.

Friendly staff, great breakfast, and steps from Carnivore
Pros:

Super friendly staff throughout our stay. The breakfast was extensive and really good. They were also flexible in accommodating our family, adding an extra bed to the room without any hassle. A nice bonus: you can walk through the garden straight to the famous Carnivore restaurant — one of my personal favorites. A great base for a stay in the area.

Cons:

Nothing
