Excellent hotel. Centrally located. Fabulous restaurants.
Natalie, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely historic hotel in the centre of Nairobi. We had a club room which gave us access to the 1902 Lounge. The service from the hotel staff was excellent and we had a great history tour of the hotel from Maxwell, who was very knowledgeable. It was a very memorable stay.

Incredible service! The front desk staff, concierge, and porters were extremely helpful for the duration of our trip. Be sure to ask for a tour of this historic hotel! The rooms were clean and comfortable, perhaps a bit outdated.

Beautiful old hotel in downtown Nairobi. The suite was excellent. The lounge is great. The hotel helped us get to the airport when downtown was hit with the Gen Z protests.

A beautiful safe Haven

The iconic hotel that’s been there for well over a century is well maintained right smack in the middle of the hustle bustle of Nairobi. A safe secure place to go after the craziness of the streets.

10/10 Exceptional

Great property right in the middle of the CBD. Hotel has a lot of history and staff is very knowledge about the property. Maxwell who was in the 1902 Club Lounge was truly amazing and made the stay very memorable. If you can spend a little extra for the Club Lounge, it is worth it.
