The hotel was wonderful. The welcome was great. Though they have a system that won't let you check in before Mid-day. We had reached the hotel around 8 ( our flight timing was weird) and had to wait a couple of hours before we were given the room. If I had to take the room early, I was asked to... More

I only stayed here for one night last week, but it was wonderful. After having getting used to the fact that one needs to have all bags scanned and checked upon entry at most hotels in Nairobi, I was welcomed as if I was an old friend by Ivy, the wonderful receptionist who was on duty on Sunday evening. This... More

Lets be honest, Nairobi is a dump. Not a place you want to spend much time in as a traveller. However this place is an oasis, a sanctuary, a refuge and any other superlative you may think of. I got a great rate via booking.com (Paid £120 GBP a night incl breakfast) and from the minute I arrived I felt... More

Love the hotel old colonial style. We were working at the KICC for a few days so this was excellent location and could walk in 5 minutes. The Stanley is an Oasis of calm in the city with excelent food, good wifi and a well deserved "tusker". Maybe not the cheapest place to eat and drink but you do know... More

A lot of otherwise top-notch African hotels... More

A big thank you to - Daniel (our waiter), Dennis (the host), and Mercy! All had excellent customer service! One of the nights we went to eat out at Trattoria (an excellent Italian restaurant... More

We stayed at the Stanley Hotel at the beginning and end of our safari holiday, what a great way to start and end your holiday. From the moment you exit the cab you feel very special. The rooms are lovely and there is a special feel about this hotel. The beds are great for a good nights sleep. It's perfect... More

I just came back from Kenya on safari. I stayed at the Sarova Stanley and the hotel is a really nice place to stay in Nairobi. The rooms are very comfortable and there is a wide selection to pick from in terms of food. The swimming pool is on the 5th floor and provides for great views. The only issue... More
