We stayed in the Parkside on 3 seperate occasions over a month, and each time had a comparible room, and recieved similar levels of service. Key points for me: - Each time we stayed we opted for a Superior Room. They seemed a bit bigger, and had a bigger bed - Rooms were always spotlessly clean - We did not... more

I intermittently stayed here for a week, in January. I was very pleased to find such a reasonably priced hotel in such a central location with good security. I stayed in a basic twin, which was clean enough, with hot showers and comfy beds. The reception staff were reasonably friendly, but I also chatted to the chamber maids who were... more

This place is very convenient if your just passing through Nairobi. Its right next to the bus station and in a good walking location of Nairobi. The staff was so nice and friendly (as all of Kenya is). Expect what you pay for, very basic rooms. more

The rooms are not bad and there's almost no noise front or back of the building. Terrible pillows though...hard seat cushions actually...they were supposedly talking about replacing them with real pillows soon but check to confirm. Kind of cheap of them to only offer hot water between 6:00-8:00 AM and 6:00-9:00 PM. And here's the thing...the hot water boiler was... more

A nice central, clean tourist hotel. We turned up 'on psec' and got a superior triple room for KSH 3,500 / €35 without breakfast as we were leaving ealry next day. There was a cheaper option on the price lsit but not available that day. I failed to see much superior about the room - TV, mosquitoe nets and slippers... more

The Parkside is central and the staff concerned about your safety. Rooms are basic - better rooms are on the 4th floor. Fine for a night if passing through Nairobi - not a destination! more

Stay away!

If all you care about is a cheap hotel, then by all means stay here. Otherwise, beware! If you do choose to stay here, then try to get a room on the fourth floor (they are halfway decent). The rooms on the first and seconds floors look like something you'd pay by the hour for. They were dirty and dingy... more
