Beautiful property, kind and helpful staff, very nice food in the restaurant for both dinner and breakfast. The rooms were clean and the bed comfortable. What more can you ask for!
Location, quality and service. A+ to the property on all these dimensions, whether you choose to stay with family or traveling for work. Had a memorable stay.
Breakfast at Gemma’s, dinner at Trunk and Tandoor were both fantastic. Dinner at Gemma’s could’ve been better.
The rooms were very clean and everything in working comfortable order, the staff were particularly notable: friendly, helpful and professional - making our stay with children feel comfortable, safe.
The hotel is well secured and assistance was available whenever needed.

We had a great time! The staff members are a dream, super nice and welcoming, always happy to help. Breakfast is great with a lot of options! Great location and facilities in the hotel. We’d definitely recommend! 10/10
Great place for us to stay on our first family trip to Kenya. Good area to use as a base when exploring Nairobi before moving on to safaris. Shopping centres close by, restaurants etc. within walking distance and easy when taking a taxi to/from other parts of the city. Used the rooftop pool and sundeck quite a lot as well. Staff was helpful. We stayed at the start of our trip and decided to book it for the last night of our trip as well.
Our stay at the Novotel was very pleasant, quiet, and felt safe. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the area. We highly recommend staying at this property!
The staff were amazing! Stephen, the concierge, met us at the door and took care of us like we were old family friends! The room was spacious and very comfortable!
