The Fairview Hotel is like a little oasis in Nairobi - lovely gardens and pool that take you away from the traffic and chaos of the city.

Compared to other places I've stayed in Nairobi, the Fairview is an oasis in an urban center that can be loud, crowded and intimidating. The grounds are lovely and the rooms spacious and comfortable. The freelance driver they tapped... more
