Top University of Nairobi Hotel Reviews

Best Western Plus Meridian Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Good location … easy walk into city center At first it Looks not safe… but it’s ok .. we tried to get back to the hotel area before sunset"

The Heron By Sarovar Portico India

8/10 Good

"Room was clean and staff were nice and friendly. Buffet breakfast was enjoyable. Was very disappointed in communication regarding booking an airport transfer for my arrival. My flight arrived late at night so wanted an easy transfer from the airport to the hotel as this was also my first time in Nairobi. I emailed to arrange this and I got a reply asking for my flight details to confirm however after this email I did not get a reply back so I emailed again 3 days prior to arrival to double check and confirm the airport transfer but still no reply. I waited at the airport for a while in case they had it sorted but I ended up having to take an Uber. When I brought by this up during check in, they could see that I had emailed twice but was told that Uber is cheaper anyways."

Heri Heights Hotel Apartments, SureStay Collection by BW

8/10 Good

"Don't think of this as a hotel, think of this a furnished apartment with housekeeping. Great setting on the side of a hill with a bridge between buildings and a winding path below. Front desk was helpful and provided me with a temporary room to "crash" in while my actual room was being finished. The breakfast buffet was not huge, but there is no need for 100 items on a buffet, when 20 solid choices will do. If you are a picky traveller, do note that there is not air conditioning. For the rest of us, do note that there are plenty of trees and breezes; my room stayed comfortable the whole time I was there. This is not a new property, but it is in good shape [it has a few dents and dings, just like all of us get as we age :) ]. So the big question, would I stay here again? Yes."

Iconic Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Z"

Kije Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I recommend this hotel to everyone. The staff are amazing - Lidia, Caleb, Colin and everyone else whose names I didn't find out. The chefs, waiters, housekeeping were all amazing. Kije Place is in a great location, the food is wonderful and it's also great value for money. It's definitely one of the best hotels I have stayed in for a long time. Above everything though, it's the people who work there who are welcoming, kind, helpful and respectful - they are the best of Nairobi, and I hope the management and ownership treat them well. Thank you!"

Hyatt Place Nairobi Westlands

10/10 Excellent

"Hyatt Westlands: Great Staff and a Convenient Base I had a really good stay at the Hyatt Westlands. The standout was the staff, who were helpful and friendly from check-in to checkout and were always happy to assist with any request. The location is excellent, well placed for getting around and with plenty of options close by, which made the whole stay easy and stress-free. The gym was another highlight. It was well equipped and a great way to keep up my routine while travelling. Overall, this is a great choice for a comfortable stay with attentive service and good facilities in a convenient spot. I'd happily stay again. Rating: 4.5/5"

Lotos Inn & Suites, Nairobi

Fairview Hotel Nairobi, Vignette Collection by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Staff is very warm, kind and helpful, The food is very good and the service is exceptional. Installations are cleaned and well maintained. The only thing is the quality of the coffee, which needs to be improved to match the high level of other beverage and food items."

Hotel Boulevard Nairobi, City Centre CBD

10/10 Excellent

"The room was spacious and clean. The receptionist always wore a smile on her face and was of great help. There is no hair dryer or ironing board in the room which I missed having."
