Best hotell in Nairobi

Underbart hotell which I chose because of its closeness to Karua Forest (perfect running spot). Here you wake up in the morning from the sound of birds singing. Its just a perfect hotell with perfect location.

Fair but needs refurbishment

My overall stay was poor. The internet/WiFi connection in the hotel was not great. I had to change my room with the help of friendly staff. For the price, I thought the infrastructure would be great, but it was not the case. Some parts of the toilet were leaking. The food was great and the breakfast was up to standard.

Great Hotel! Great Service! Very Safe!

I booked the La Mada Hotel as it was advertised as an airport hotel and decided being close to the airport was a good safe choice for my first four nights in Nairobi, Kenya. The hotel is 10 miles from the airport and their shuttle is $50 which I was not aware of. But once I was able to get an Uber, the cost was KSH1600 (about $14) which took me directly to the hotel. I was very happy when I arrived to the hotel as I went through security and the hotel is located in the middle of a forest. The check in process with Christine was seamless. The bellman was very accommodating and the room was close to the lobby and the pool. Each room has it's own water heater which allows for a hot shower almost every time. Elvis was working at the bar and was very friendly and professional. The service across the board was always professional and friendly. I thought I had a reservation after my initial reservation from 4/11 to 4/15 and as it turned out, I didn't so the La Mada Hotel easliy accomodated me for 5 more nights. The desk agents, supervisors and managers were very professional and handled all of my needs. These agents included Christine, Ben, Keith and their Accountant Frances providing me with Kenyan Shilling change when needed. All charges were handled well and the staff was always gracious when receiving any kind of tip. The servers: Veronikah, Elvis, Nelson, Meshka, Frank and so many others were so professional and prompt. Joe & Joe (mgrs) were constantly present

Stay at La Mada

It was a nice place to stay but needs a little work in the rooms. The A/C didn’t work and it was a hot night. The beds are hard but okay. The food was good and the staff were friendly.
