- Phanice (10/5): It was wonder - Staff, very kind and reaching out in time before I’m frustrated. Good service at the front desk and cafeteria. The cafeteria is a bit expensive.
- Tibor (8/5): It was really nice, next time I stay here again. - The location was great, the staff was very friendly and helpful, the room was clean mostly, the kitchen machines were nice. Inside the wardrobe the shelves were dusty, some more utensils would be nice in the kitchen, but overall we did not lack any particular item. But there was like only one fork per person or so.
- Joshua (10/5): - Big rooms, nice location No ac but don’t really need it

The place needs new mattress and repair other than that it’s in a great location . I was a little disappointed because I was being charged for dinner I never ordered. I didn’t know they have restaurant because I was out all day long. They me to another room and apparently they pinned the dinner of previous person on me very disappointing. My room was changed at night. Eventually everything went fine by the end of the day.

- Osoro (6/5): -
- Akky (6/5): - Huge rooms Old, run down place, staff are not quick to respond and you've got to remind them twice of your request for something.
- Sunil Sangakkara (10/5): This has to be one of the best hotels for tourists. - The location was right at the top. Excellant value for money. Staff were very polite and friendly. I love this hotel and can recommend to anyone. The decoration and furniture were dated. I understand the owners are refurbishing the place systematically.
- Elena (9/5): Удобный, домашний отель в самом центре города. - Очень понравился отель. Чувствовали себя, как дома. Номер был просторный, гостиная и спальня с красивым видом на город. Вкусные завтраки. Местоположение в самом центре, удобное для знакомства со столицей. Близость к ресторану, где играли ночные свадьбы. Шумновато.

- Matthias (9/5): Tolle Unterkunft - Sehr große Räume für den angebotenen Preis.
Dusche mit warmen Wasser, alles sauber, gereinigt wird täglich, Sicherheit ist auch 24 h im Eingangsbereich anwesend, das Personal ist freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Alles wichtige zum Einkaufen in ca. 200 m Entfernung.
Essenstechnisch gibt die Umgebung einiges her.
Auch abends ist es um das Hotel herum sicher.
An und Abreise einfach
Ich kann über nichts klagen Die Möbel sind, wie von anderen beschrieben tatsächlich etwas älter, wenn störts? Ansonsten alles perfekt
- IOUSTINA (6/5): -
- Sam (7/5): Value for money short stay - The property was spacious and had a balcony facing the city with a nice view Minimal cutlery,one plate and one cup not sure why.
Very old fashioned room
Fridge was not great
- Raphael (7/5): Fairly good. - I like the setting inside the hotel. The bed is great and the couch area. I found inside the room a used small portion of the tissue. It wasn't enough. Despite the huge amount you charge per night.
Also there's no Internet connection to the Television, and water heater was not working.
- Thomas (7/5): It’s a good place indeed - The property needs more job to done Location is good
- Leanid (5/5): На одну ночь, но я бы подумал - Балкон и вид на город - это все На 1 ночь максимум, если проездом. Но я бы все равно советовал доплатить и снять по-лучше
Это как будто не отель, а высокий жилой стремный дом.
- OneLove1959 (8/5): -
- Jürgen (10/5): -
- Ilonka (5/5): Budget hotel to stay for the location - The lining and towels were all from a good quality. Also the bed was very comfortable. The studio was spacious and clean. The breakfast was okay… but also very limited and not so inviting. Everything was very old, worn out and shady. I was looking forward to use the pool… but unfortunately for me that was nothing like the pictures. The pool
At the time I was there was more of an abandoned construction site.
- Joachim (7/5): Good but old hotel in CBD - The location in CBD
The living room was big
Bedroom was big
Microwave in the kitchen
Balcony The kitchen needs renovation
The dishes and cutlery were miserable
The furniture in the bedroom was very old
- Petra (9/5): Nairobi - Sehr nettes Personal mitten im Centrum Es gibt nichts auszusetzen
- Ketija (7/5): - Atrašanās bija ļoti laba, lai turpinātu ar safari braucienu. Tuvumā pāris minūšu attālumā veikals, telefona simkaršu vieta.

- Andrew (8/5): -
- Karim (10/5): - Great location!
Helpful personal- front desk personal exceptional!!!!
- Andrew (7/5): -
- Thomas (7/5): Centralt hotel- god valuta for pengene - Central beliggenhed med mange gode restauranter i nærheden og tæt på National Museet og flere Regerings bygninger. God balkon og stort værelse. Hotellet er slidt. Alt trænger til en opgradering. Men det fungerer. Et større TV med lidt flere kanaler kunne også være rart. Men man tager jo ikke derned for at se TV
- charles (7/5): - The apartment is clean and the location is a walking distance from the shopping malls.The kitchen makes perfect for me and all the facilities and in serviceable conditions . Nothing really
- Grzegorz (7/5): jestem bardzo zadowolony z tego 3 tygodniowego pobytu - Sniadania były niezadawalajace dla mnie aczkolwiek zdawałem sobie sprawe ze jestem w Nairobi i moga roznic sie od naszych ale nigdy nie wychodziłem głodny, zawsze cos dobrałem dla siebie, obsługa miła, nie podobalo mi sie sprzatanie pokoju na raty, po trzech trygodniach pobytu nie wyrazili zgody na bezpłatne przedłuzenie pobytu w hotelu o pare godzin mimo ze hotel był pusty mysle ze jest ok
- Godfrey Muwonge (9/5): 99% perfect - I loved the place and everything ❤️ Water pressure is low
- Andrea Mabel (8/5): -
- Ali (9/5): Very reasonable and accessable any where - Very near to the city market and kicc and they provide for city view room very nice for fresh air They dont have table fan

- Kolja (10/5): -
- m encarna (1/5): -
- Kai (8/5): -
- Thi Cam (10/5): - Nhân viên nhiệt tình
- Krzysztof (9/5): -
- Sofia (6/5): Good location, central and clean - The apartmet was very clean and the location was perfect for the start of the journey we had planned the day after.
Staff was helpful and check in smooth. The water heater was not turned on when we got there, which made freshing up/showering after a long trip uncomfortable (ended up having cold showers and warming up some water with the kettle instead).
Having said that, maybe we could have waited more for the water heater to heat, we just arrived late and were eager to rest.
As soon as we hit the bed a party started close by with music until 4am. Not sure if this is a one off, or if maybe we were just unlucky.

- Olivier (6/5): Chambre Ok mais quartier pas top - Le personnel est très accueillant et sympathique et la chambre très grande C’est un peu vieillot, le frigo ne fonctionnait pas et beaucoup de bruit à l’extérieur, mal insonorisé. De plus le quartier n’est pas très safe, on a essayé de me voler ma chaîne en argent en pleine rue!
- Amber (7/5): - La posizione Hotel vecchio e non molto pulito
- Rishit (5/5): - Quite spacious It is an apartment and not hotel as displayed on booking.com. Also there is fans available in rooms. They provide tall standing fans only if asked
- Rishit (1/5): - The rooms are clean There is no air condition in any of the rooms that makes it difficult for the guest to stay
- Grace (8/5): Muy buena ubicación - La ubicación es perfecta, muy céntrica.
Te dejan botellas de agua cada día, un detalle a valorar Se nota que es un pelín antiguo, pero cumple con su función
- Elisabeth (8/5): - Sehr bequemes Bett, tolle Lage
- Slobodan (7/5): -
- George (9/5): -
- Ramy (10/5): Comfortable and nice - Luxury and excellency
- Carmen (8/5): - La ubicacion Anticuado y con una recepción muy pequeña
- George (1/5): -
- MARCO (7/5): -
- ProvyMa (7/5): comfortable - What I appreciated most about my stay was the hotel’s excellent location, which made it convenient to access nearby attractions and amenities. The property was very clean throughout, the internet connectivity was reliable, and the staff were consistently friendly and welcoming. The furniture in the room is quite dated, with the bed headboard and room accessories appearing particularly old-fashioned. There is a clear need for redecoration and modernization to improve the overall ambiance. Updating the furnishings and considering some remodeling would significantly refresh the space and give it a more contemporary look.
- Kip (8/5): -
- Laurent (8/5): - Bien placé au centre de Nairobi. Possibilité de se faire à manger dans les appartements Manque d'ustensiles de cuisine qui limite la possibilité de se faire des repas. Pas de sèche cheveux alors que c'était indiqué.

- Yoshitaka (10/5): -
