I found the food in Kenya to be "okay", hotel had a few options but by the third day was getting bored with it. I'm giving this hotel 4 stars because the staff always went above and beyond to make my... More

Stayed 1 night in Feb 12 as part of a safari trip to Kenya. Nice hotel and really friendly staff (like much of Kenya) but not what I expected of an InterContinental standard. I found the Sarova Panafric down the road a better hotel all round despite friends from Nairobi telling me the InterContinental would be better. Rooms are nice... More

Given the relatively high price of this hotel (around $335 + tax for a club level room which included access to the club lounge, breakfast and internet) service and quality at this hotel proved to be rather erratic.
