Hotels near Nairobi Wilson airport

Pros: Gorgeous Victorian style interior. beautiful courtyards

Cons: a bit overpriced

Pros: Nothing special to me bit expensive for that hotel breakfast was nice and lot of security

Cons: Nothing special

Pros: The staff was very nice, competent and helpful. Because of the covid situation, I had to postpone my booking three times, which was made possible. I had asked for a room with a bathtub, and my request was remembered. The garden is very lovely, a real urban oasis, although the place is quite closed in and surrounded by traffic. Lovely pool, where you can really swim. Food was delicious, lot of choices on the menu. The waiters were very careful regarding the covid situation, wearing masks AND faceshields. A good hotel to spend the night before or after your flight. Drive to the international aiport is 30-60 min, depending on the traffic.

Cons: The room was okay, but I missed a certain "charm" and cosiness. Bathrobes would have been nice.

Pros: Where to start? We arrived at midnight and had an easy check-in before ordering a fantastic room service meal. The breakfast buffet was well-stocked and tasty. The room itself was comfortable and nicely laid out with pretty views from front and back. We enjoyed walking the grounds and swimming in the pristine pool. Staff was attentive and professional at all times. The Fairview Hotel is easy to recommend!

Cons: Don't change a thing, Fairview! Other travelers should beware: there are a few cats on the premises. Security is tight and the staff do not encourage walking around the neighborhood (the short daytime walk we took gave us no trouble!)

Pros: The breakfast was superb, although it was served in the fairview hotel and not in town lodge. The staff was very helpful and service minded. Clean rooms

Cons: Very small bathroom and there was only two electrical outlets in the room that was working, with made it hard for everyone in the family to charge our phones and computers.

Pros: Location breakfast internet

Pros: Very clean indeed and good value for money. Weekends they give break fast at Fairview which is of higher quality. Good value

Cons: Basically it needs a fridge in the room.

Pros: An urban oasis, great place to unwind. The lush greenery on the hotel grounds are restful for the mind. Rooms are clean and well-appointed. There was an international wall socket in my room for those who forgot to bring adaptor. Beds are very comfortable. Multiple restaurants to choose from. Rates are much more reasonable than hotels near the airport.

Cons: Service at restaurant could have been a little more attentive. I had to wait a long time before being able to order another item or to pay my bill. The staff were very polite and unobtrusive - I think they were trying to avoid disturbing me. They were very receptive to me going up to the counter to pay my bill.

Pros: Nice staff, garden and resistant (Albeit a bit expensive)

Cons: Due to its location and the tight security, you can't walk around the neighborhood. It's not even an option

Pros: The Town Lodge Upper Hill is a simple but modern property. Everything is in good condition, and the hotel is very clean. Staff are great.

Cons: There was no elevator.

Pros: We liked the staff, food options (several restaurants within a short walking distance and an excellent buffet breakfast), clean rooms, price.

Pros: Price, staff, restaurants, security, bed comfortable and wifi all were great.

Cons: No complaints at all.

Pros: I like the hospitality and Respect

Cons: When we arrived the Lady at the reception at first she was afraid about the payment bcs our credit card wasn't going through but later we told her we will keep on trying to see if the bank system will come back finally she agreed.

Pros: Very clean!!!! The staff was very polite and active Can’t wait to come back.

Cons: The breakfast was great.

Pros: everything

Pros: Great location !

Pros: Staff, pillows, room service, bar area, breakfast

Pros: Very expensive breakfast but no items to talk about. Regret booking the hotel. Never wasted my money like sleeping in the hotel

Cons: Everything. Customer service is bogus

Pros: I have been staying at this hotel many times over the last few years and what I have always enjoyed has been the architecture, old-fashioned feel and the pool.

Cons: The service is not as great as it used to be. In a city where there are new hotels being opened every days, the customer service and the little things do matter. The coffee sachets/some of the cups were only replaced once (I must say that I didn’t bring this to their attention but I expect this to be part of the room cleaning service); their system seem to never have my correct Accor membership status up to date; they also have me down as a Mr rather than Ms - not great since most of the staff recognise me, that’s how many times I have been. Also, the food is not as good as it used to be.

Pros: Beautiful oasis in the middle of the city!!

Pros: Like the balcony. Food tastes good. The hotel has been there even before Nairobi was a city, which makes it a tourist destination in itself.

Cons: breakfast was not of very good value

Pros: Wonderful garden and premises. Great service.

Cons: The AC in the room is very noisy, too bad in such a nice hotel. The location is also quite inconvenient. Bad food. Very expensive breakfast.

Pros: Fantastic staff-professional, charmingly and friendly. Very comfortable. High security. Beautiful grounds and architecture. Generous breakfast.

Cons: Excessively high cost for everything other than the room which was reasonably priced. Very modest amount of laundry- wash no ironing was a staggering US $129. We should have paid attention to the price list. Drinks at bar way overpriced. Bar waitress brought unrequested tray of chips and carrot slices for each of two rounds. Assumed they were free- we were charged $13. Restaurant good by also overpriced.

Pros: The whole hotel desperately needs an overhaul and some money spent on it

Cons: Rooms and facilities looking very tired

Pros: The hotel is super nice, I loved the old fashion colonial vibe much nicer than a modern class box hotel. The bar and restaurants are really great and the staff is super nice! The security is also very good so I felt very safe.

Cons: As it is an older hotel it starts showing it's cracks a little bit in the bathroom especially with older cupports with the paint coming off and unfortunately the drains from my toilet/shower were a bit smelly.

Pros: The staff was wonderful and the place was nice and clean and the food was good.

Cons: I had booked the Sarova Stanley since I was there last year and it was wonderful and had beautiful large rooms, a great rooftop pool restaurant and bar, but because of Covid-19, I was redirected to Sarova Panafric, which was nice, but not nearly as luxurious. At first I was frustrated, but the staff (Benson and Kennedy to name a few) were very wonderful and accommodating which seemed to overshadow some of the issues with the Sarova Panafric, which were much smaller rooms, and due to the pandemic the pool was not open, but wasn’t as nice as Sarova Stanley and the location was ok, but not as convenient as the Sarova Stanley. All in all it was a fine stay, but I felt the cost was sufficient for the Sarova Stanley, but not the Sarova Panafric.

Pros: Excellent in all ways. Some of the facilities were closed because of the ongoing coronavirus crisis, but this was completely understandable. More important to note (and emphasise) was the kind heartedness, good humour, flexibily and genuine concern of all the staff we met in what were very trying circumstances. The Stanley was brilliant in a crisis and I am certain they'd be brilliant in normal times as well. Number one choice for Nairobi for sure.

Cons: Nothing. It was all great.

Pros: Location

Cons: The room smells and is stuffy. Windows are permanently locked and no air fresh air circulation.

Pros: Please keep it up!!!

Cons: Location

Pros: Very clean and its area is very good

Pros: the hotel is well guarded, maximum security. Spa area is ok

Pros: Good location for business in CBD Nairobi

Cons: The natural light into room was poor. Combined with heavy curtain drapes, made room feel dark.

Pros: Interesting history, great tour by Cynthia.

Cons: All good

Pros: The food was great. People and staff were nice. Location in town was great.

Cons: Roaches in my room. This is not 5 star even though it’s advertised as such. Windows at the entire facility were dirty. Lighting in rooms are poor.

Pros: The service and food are excellent Very comfortable beds too b

Pros: Everything about this hotel is top-notch. Highly recommend it if you are in and around the CBD in Nairobi!

Pros: Great location for walking to shops and restaurants. Beautiful rich dark woodwork with lots of character and history to the hotel. Staff and security were awesome!!! Very clean and beds were very comfortable. The walls were soundproof. Everything was in good condition with beautiful decor. Good source of hot water for showers. Buffet breakfast with omelette bar was superb! Restaurant and bars were high quality. Spa and exercise area was a nice plus, but I did not take advantage of these services.

Cons: Internet needs improved to be of the same quality of the rest of the hotel ... needs higher-speed internet services. My ability to work on the internet was hit or miss.

Pros: N/A

Cons: I have nothing in my mind to add.

Pros: Everything

Cons: I was very satisfied

Pros: Gym is fab!

Cons: Needs proper hot water.

Pros: I loved the room and service offered

Pros: The bothroom

Super appreciative of the front line staff; porters and concierge who were all incredible helpful and most thanks to the Business Centre that resolved my issue with charging my lap top! Keep up the brilliant work!

Cons: Hotel charges for use of their vehicle for a 3km distance were quadruple that of Uber - something to consider!

Pros: The room was comfortable with standard amenities. The view was better than usual (not a parking or another building).

Cons: The food was ok. As a vegetarian, I don't expect a lot in Kenya. I had essentially two choices--vegetarian pizza, and pasta. There might have been a sandwich. I shouldn't complain, while the choice was limited the quality was good.

Pros: The staff were welcoming and helpful

Cons: lack of facilities, we were not allowed to use the pool and the room felt old fashioned and stuffy

Cons: most staff don't wear masks

Pros: The facility is amazing but bad customer service and poor client attendance

Cons: Change staff

Pros: The staff is excellent and very helpful. There was a noise issue the first day, and the hotel manager and front desk staff did an efficient job of resolving the problem, and they were most kind as well. The breakfast is wonderful, and the serving staff is friendly.

Cons: Much of the hotel is under major renovations. So dust and work materials are scattered throughout much of the hotel. And it can get really noisy when power tools are running and hammers are pounding. I really wanted to use their fitness center, but it too was unavailable as it is apparently being renovated as well.

Pros: It was close to Wilson airport, breakfast was good with a variety of fresh food

Cons: The swimming pool was closed, the gym was closed and there was extensive renovation works being carried out around most of the hotel. We were first given a double room which was tiny, we booked a superior twin room. We did get a twin room, it was very dusty due to the building works.

Pros: The staff were super friendly. Shower was excellent and food was pretty good.

Cons: It was being renovated, so was pretty much a building site. No facilities available which we should have been warned of.

Pros: good

Pros: Spacious room and bathroom with quiet aspect. Courtesy taxi transfer to Wilson airport was included and very much appreciated! Staff exceptionally helpful and cheerful. We arrived late evening and left early the next morning so didn’t use the restaurant or any of the available facilities.

Cons: No complaints!

Pros: Bed super comfortable, you have to ask for a room with a mosquito net though

Cons: Restaurant food very disappointing overpriced with many items on menu not available. Had below average food for $22.00 a plate. No ice for water, no fish, no lamb. When we finally found something they could cook very small portions.

Pros: We really appreciated Concierge Shakey meeting us off flight at Wilson from Zanzibar and for being so courteous and helpful

Cons: It was Valentine night so we had difficulty getting table in restaurant as special dinners going on in both restaurants. Our arrival was late due to immigration queue and 1 official handling visas so no opportunity to book our meal

Pros: Great

Cons: No slippers and tooth paste in the bathroom

Pros: The customer service was great. The room was just as it was pictured. The rooms were clean and extra toiletries were provided. It was value for my money and I will plan on going back.

Cons: The service was great, but I asked for bathroom slippers, although they never provided them.

Pros: The location is serene, quiet and ideal for the business traveler. The rooms are also very comfortable and deliver value for your money. Will definitely re-visit.

Pros: Location is good to move all around Nairobi. The breakfast is good as well, with staff ready for your needs on the same.

Pros: Excellent service and great staff

Cons: None

Pros: The breakfast was ok.

Cons: Nothing much.

Pros: We stayed here during the forced quarantine by the Govt. of Kenya due to Covid 19. Considering the circumstance of our stay, some staff have been exemplary. In particular Faith, Esther at front desk, George, House keeping ladies and the restaurant waiters have been very helpful and working tirelessly. The food was generally spot on. Every request was met.

Cons: One of the director and general manager have been very arrogant and not been so considerate. On arrival the director was pushing us to make upfront payment for 7 nights at the hotel yet it was out of choice we were there. The rate given was also higher than what was on booking.com but later after a government directive, new discounted rates were effected. Our room air con was bust. The water in the taps didn't have much force and almost no ventilation in the room(even though there is a window which was open) making it very stuffy. We later did get a change of room which did resolve the ventilation part.

Pros: Very good place for a vacation to enjoy quiteness

Pros: not applicable

Pros: Large room, nicely furnished, comfortable large bed, big bathroom. Everything clean. Friendly staff.

Cons: Internet in the room not working (they offered to provide a mobile modem, but I just used the internet in the lobby). Loud music all through the night (nightclub?). Very loud noise from a pump or some motor in the building that came up every couple of minutes in the night. Very annoying.

Pros: Proximity and easy access to the airport Lot of Uber drivers near by Value for money Helpful and friendly staff Luggage storage Coffee and tea facilities in rooms Comfortable bed Mosquito net (did not needed but nice to know it was there)

Cons: Wifi bit hit and miss Shower pressure poor, both on 1st and 3rd floor

Pros: Near Wilson airport. Quiet neighbourhood. Large room. Helpful and friendly staff.

Cons: Poor wifi signal and water pressure.

Pros: The location was just right for me. The facility is clean and quiet. I liked the way Bibiana - at front office received me. She made me feel at home.

Cons: Breakfast is served late. sometimes guests have to knock at the kitchen door to get what they want. e.g. i could not eat fruits because they came late while i was already eating main course yet i always start with fruits. Smoking is allowed in hotel rooms!! This is so terrible for me.

Pros: We stayed there because it was close to Wilson Airport. It's a good standard hotel. Very convenient, it you need a place in Nairobi to stay, have a dinner and a good shower. Good staff and an excellent breakfast.

Pros: The rooms are spacious and relatively clean. Service at the reception was good.

Cons: I ordered for beef and it was too tough and majority of it was bones. I ordered for a chicken cream soup and it was more of a vegetable soup. This forced me not to take their breakfast although i had paid for it.The restaurant service was very poor and with bad attitude. But reception service was good.

Pros: The location was appropriate for my trip and activities

Cons: Parking was not adequate.
