We had 2 unexpected nights in Nairobi and chose this hotel due the proximity of visiting things of interest. There is a shopping mall close by with options for lunch and dinner. The hotel had a great selection for breakfast and very good room service dinner, excellent gym and the rooftop bar and pool was nice to have, you cant lie out in the sun though.

I thought this hotel was wonderful. Safe gated place. Breakfast buffet was amazing. It had a lot of variety and tasty food. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. I had to leave my baggage for a few days because I was leaving Nairobi and they were very kind to hold on to my bags. Overall I had a great experience

Disgraceful for a Golden Tulip

For a Golden Tulip hotel, this stay has been a huge disappointment. Although the staff have all been very good this hotel is in a very tired state and in desperate need of refurbishment. Lifts were not working throughout our stay so we were initially required to climb 2 or three flights of stairs with all our luggage from the basement parking. To access our room we were also required to use a flight of stairs to an alternative lift. Water being turned off with no notice for hours, then switched on briefly before being cut again, with no notice. Disgraceful for a Golden Tulip property. I will need a lot of convincing to come back
