  • I took a taxi first, asking my driver to show me some hotels around. He drove me to the Intercontinental first, which I didn't like much because it is huge hotel with many rooms and besides, it is situated in the city center. I told him to show me another hotel, smaller and away from the skycrapers. Holiday Inn was his next option and I decided to stay here.
    Hotel is situated away from the city center in the area called Westland. It was love on the first sight, one-storey construction, all in greenery with beautiful gardens inside the hotel area and a couple of very clean pools. I highly recommend it.

    Kenya Comfort Hotel: In the heart of the city
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Thanks to the local VT member FLYRUBI, my 2007 stay was at this hotel which is situated right in the heart of the city. I was in a walking distance to all major sights of Nairobi.
    The hotel itself offers decent accomodation which is in accordance to the same three stars standards hotels in Europe. There is good reastaurant in the hotel, open 24 hours, plus bar and small cyber cafe (three pc's). Yes, Comfort Kenya is very recommendable accomodation
    Let me add this comment, last year I spend few days in Holiday Inn at Nairobi, which cost me 200 euros per day. It is almost sixth time more than I paid in this hotel. With all respect but what I had there do not worth six time more.


    Unique Qualities: Too bad there is no pool, could be placed on the rooftop along with already existing solarium there. Btw, rooftop offers great view on the city centre, all my skyline pics were taken from there.
    The price for a single room, the one on the picture bellow, cost me 2.940 shillings breakfast included. The standard breakfast is very good but in case there is possibility to order "ala carte" too.

    Panafric Hotel (Kenyatta Avenue Po Box 30486): Very good restaurant   Check Rates
  • Tip Rating:
  • Can't say much about this accomodation because I never stayed over night in this hotel. However, its location is very attractive, not far from the city centre and yet in a very peacefull area. It dominates on a small hill, surrounded by the greenery, and offering nice view at the busy city centre.

    Unique Qualities: Besides tranquility, Panafric hotel offers very good restaurant. I was here with a friend of mine during her break for a lunch. She ordered grilled steak and chips while I followed waitress's suggestion ordering tilapia filets. The food was exceptionally good, as well as wine. Lunch for two cost me something less than 3000 kes.

    Sarova Stanley: Probably the best hotel in Nairobi   Check Rates
  • Tip Rating:
  • Another hotel in which I never stayed over night. Probably because of the price, my Kenyan friends told me it is extremely expensive.
    Sarova Stanley is located in the heart of the city, the main entrance is in the Kimathi street but most of its rooms overlooking Kenyatta Avenue, which is the main street of Nairobi.
    The hotel is assigned to those customers who never ask for a price, diplomats, businessmen and very rich tourists.

     Excellent tips!! Thanks. Will be in Nairobi soon.

     Dear Croisbeauty, Relieved by your comments, clearly based on experience rather than heresay. As a Kenyan, I know that Nairobi is not for the naive, but it is also a city with a good side. Msafiri_61

     The internet gets it wrong.. most of the time. I lived and worked in Kenya for 10 months and was in Nairobi for 6. I walked around downtown at night.. I was fine. Basically, be street smart and your fine.
