• YAWA ADAMOU (8/5): - La disponibilite du personnel L'accueil
• Thato Lisemelo (4/5): The location is perfect but needs to be improved - It was within reach of the conferencing facilities, security was ok The breakfast was depleted before 10:00 which was the last hour, there were cockroaches and bedbugs in the room, the bedding was not changed, toilet paper was missing most of the days, it was noisy late into the night
• Emmanuel Omale (8/5): Comfortable and - Location is in a well secured area along the UN avenue, with multiple embassies, including American Embassy opposite the UN Complex. Breakfast was timely served with varieties and could be arranged earlier than usual time. Room is clean and comfortable. There was no TV cable service such as DSTv or Canal to watch football matches. However, the TV is a smart one with access to Youtube, Netflix (accessible via your personal account), etc. Also, the double bed is not large enough for 2 people that want comfort.

• Akansh (10/5): Wonderful stay! - Amazing hotel- location wise very close to UNEP at walking distance, wonderful breakfast, the staff was very cooperative
• Nolan (7/5): Comfortable and secured - Breakfast selection is not so good. Very limited food selection. It should consider ibternational taste Breakfast selection could have been better. And windows does not have locks

• Shadrack (7/5): -
• Deon (5/5): It was good with friendly staff - There was no British breakfast Masala tea
• Hunduma (3/5): Not worth the money they charge - cleanness and location staff who doesn't respond and breakfast
• Barbara (10/5): A good option for a short stay in Gigiri - The Gigiri Express Hotel was very helpful in accomodating my last minute booking during a very busy time. the room was comfortable and clean and perfectly located for my stay.
• Aleu (8/5): Was comfortable and convenient for my Buisness. - The location is fantastic. No garden, no swimming pool, no cafe or restaurant and no green space.
• Natalia Grilli (7/5): Excellent location if you need to go to the UNON - The hotel is simple, but it provides everything you need. It is very convenient for those who need to attend meetings at the United Nations, since the hotel is located a short walking distance from it. The staff is really friendly and breakfast is ok. The wifi didn't work in my room (I stayed on the 3rd floor).
• Claudio (8/5): -
• Lorena Terrazas Arnez (9/5): ideal - ubicación nada
• Olinga (9/5): -
• Gloria (7/5): It was okay - Proximity to the united nations office in nairobi
• W. D. S. C (7/5): -
• Yunrui (5/5): -
• Ngatupuna (10/5): We loved it and I will come back if ever I was on holiday or coming back on a work trip. - The room was excellent. My colleague and I slept comfortably during our stay there and every time we came back from our conference, the room was always clean and we didn't expect them to clean it every day! It was much needed after a long tiring day. Breakfast was my most favourite meal being in Nairobi the whole trip. I would always look forward to breakfast buffet every time I woke up. There was different menu for the breakfast buffet every morning and I enjoyed every bit of it, THANK YOU CHEF! Luckily a work colleague recommended this hotel to us as it was close to the venue our conference took place. Just 3-5 minutes walk up the road to the UN Office Building. How cool! We did not order any Uber to get there. I found it soooo convenient that there was a Box Park next to it like a mini mall, a shop, a grocery store, Dominos Pizza surrounding the hotel which fulfilled kept us full. So good!
• Didier (5/5): - J'ai aimé le petit déjeuner, mais le reste, pas du tout C'est mon troisième passage dans cet établissement, mais je n'ai pas du tout aimé celui-ci. Trop de moustiques, parfois je dois demander pour qu'on m'apporte de la serviette pour la douche, etc... La qualité du service doit être améliorée
• Yassine (6/5): - Staff is good. The breakfast is not good.
• Md Mahiuddin (7/5): - The hotel is located very close to the UN Office. Therefore, this hotel may be an ideal location for a guest attending a meeting at the UN office. Breakfast was decent, but it runs out early in the morning. If someone came late, there wouldn't be much to eat.
• Didier (5/5): - Du côté petit deujener , ça va La qualité du service devrait être améliorée C'est ma troisième fois d'être dans cet établissement, mais je n'ai pas du tout apprécié la dernière prestation. Trop de moustiques, parfois, il a fallu que que je demande la serviette pour qu'on m'amène
• Yvette (7/5): - Le petit déjeuner et l'emplacement. Ras
• Albozere (9/5): -
• Jihad (8/5): - Very good value for the money…very convenient location…clean and adequate room
• Yovanie (5/5): - Proximity to conference The toilet and bathroom requires a good renovation
• Mikala (7/5): Not bad, just would appreciate more cleanliness. - Good location. Offered drinking water in rooms. In room mini fridge. Not very clean room. Bed sheets had hair and floor was dirty.
• Salah (7/5): -
• fatna (8/5): -
• Rita Camolly (4/5): -
• James Utia (8/5): I did enjoy my stay in Gigiri express hotel - Ruth at the reception was so exceptional in helping out with all your request. I applied for airport pick up but the hotel didn't show up.
• kintu (8/5): -
• Gabriele (7/5): -
• Lorenzo Urbani (7/5): -
• Jeremy (8/5): -
• Ferdinando (7/5): Essenziale, spartano, tuttavia comodo e funzionale - Assenza di zanzariere in tutta la struttura, phon condiviso, mobilio non sempre eccezionale
• Lorenzo (7/5): Spartano ma adeguato al contesto e al prezzo -
• Edoardo (6/5): Sgarrupati ma accoglienti - La posizione è eccellente per muoversi attorno a westlands e per stare a portata di mano del centro senza essere nel mezzo della bolgia di Nairobi. Dall'hotel è facile muoversi anche a piedi verso il distretto delle ambasciate e il centro ciommerciale Village Market. Il rapporto qualità prezzo è abbastanza accettabile per gli standard locali. La cortesia dei gestori non è mai stata in discussione. In una camera doppia ci sono stati forniti asciugamani e accappatoi per una sola persona. Apprentemente c'è un solo asciugacapelli per tutto l'hotel: dopo averlo chiesto ci è arrivato dopo un certo tempo e mi è stato chiesto di restituirlo il prima possibile! L'acqua calda arrivava solo a sprazzi e fare la doccia era una scommessa. La colazione è stata completa finché c'era un gruppo nutrito di ospiti, quando mi sono trovato da solo dopo tre giorni la colazione cucinata è sparita.
