What a suprise! Having prepared myself for paying top dollar for a tired old establishment in Nairobi, up popped Tribe hotel. At a similar rate as older and less impressive hotels, Tribe absolutely lifts the bar. Looks like a funky primo-city digs, feels uber-friedly like only Africa can. Arcitectually impressive, the lobbyimpresses with a jazzy vibe and cool bar. The... more

The Tribe is staffed with friendly personnel at every level. They are knowledgeable about the city and someone at the reception desk or in the open office can help you plan your next excursion. The open concept rooms are quite different from traditional hotel layouts. The bathrooms are a part of the room, as opposed to being a different entity,... more

How can I add anything to what the others have said? The staff and service are superb, they will stop and say hello just because.. the owners and managers are incredibly down to earth and friendly; the rooms and amenities are excellent; the design and style inside and out are to die for... The hotel is an art gallery, an... more

The hotel is a relatively new addition to 5 star hotels in Nairobi. It is located next to the village market and the UN and various embassies. The hotel can be described as "boutique" as there are only 130 or so rooms and the decor is very modern and chic. The staff are very friendly and attentive. The rooms are... more

Tribe Hotel is an amazing place. It has a wonderful blend of artistry, moderness, and a quiant charm in it. The rooms are spectacular and more importantly incredibly comfortable, the service is impeccable, and the amenities are perfect. Tribe surpassed all my expectations. Favorite parts: service there is out-of-their way friendly and attentive, there are king sized beds..in EVERY room,... more

This place just oozes uber cool… The rooms are stylish and functional, we loved the massive egg bath, the concepts of the entire hotel are fresh, sexy and current. Epic Restaurant is divine with a fantastic menu and wine list to complement the tasty meals. We were in Nairobi for three days relaxing at the end of Safari/Climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro... more

It is easy to go along with previous reviewers who welcome this handsome addition to Nairobi's hotel choices. The Tribe still looks fresh and new, with beautiful design features, such as walls of local stone and attractive/impressive African (though not Kenyan) artifacts. The staff is well trained, and the rooms, though small, are carefully laid out and comfotable. The whole... more

This is an oasis. I was blown away walking into the hotel. The physical space in the lobby is incredible - modern, sleek and very chic. What's interesting is how homely you feel but not surprising with such a friendly staff. The food is excellent and a great cocktail list (and mocktail list which is non-alcoholic). But what struck me... more

I decided to try Tribe at the Village Market on my last business trip to Nairobi...without a doubt one of the best hotel experiences I've ever had in Kenya. My colleague and I checked in after midnight - the reception staff were efficient and had an international adaptor sent up to my room within minutes of my request. Feeling a... more

Had heard about this hotel from colleagues and decided to try it instead of my usual Holiday Inn Nairobi. The main thing this hotel has going for it is the location. It is right next to the Village Market which offers a variety of entertainment and food which is not to be discounted in Nairobi where exploring on your own... more
