I stayed at the this hotel for two days in March 2012. Overall I found the place to be of an acceptable quality. Given the fact that the more fancy places in Nairobi could be quite expensive the USD 135 a day was reasonable for the service. The room I was given is small and it was quite hot as... More

I stayed in the "standard" rooms and in a "superior" room. The first standard room I had didn't have functioning A/C, no hair dryer, no convenient electrical outlets, and no fridge or minibar. The next morning, I asked to change rooms for a room with working A/C. Was shown 2 rooms, neither of which had A/C that worked. I ended... More

Been there for 3 days and 2 nights. Nice room, absolutely good food, especially lunch!!!!! Around the pool with a good beer! Only brown water from the shower. Personnel gives you a "feel-at-home" idea. More

The Silver Springs hotel is located opposite the Nairobi Hospital. Its front desk staff is professional. I heard that rooms in one of the wings are better. I was in the wing to the left when leaving the elevator, and I suspect/hope the other wing was the better one ;-( Breakfast buffet is OK, nothing special. Menu in the restaurant... More

Spend only 6 hrs at this hotel (late arrival to Nairobi and early morning flight back home), but first impression was quite good. I was exhausted after 9 hrs jeep journey from Tanzania to Nairobi and so annoyed to misunderstandings by my local travel agency, that I was sure something will be wrong with my reservation. But fortunately, everything went... More

Hotel is a bit far if you have to travel to the centre of Nairobi taking in a/c the awful traffic!. Rooms are very basic but staff are very helpful and dedicated. Fitness centre is quite good. More

Had a short stay of couple of days at the hotel. The ambience was just ok and so was the food. The hotel was not well maintained. The pool area was the biggest attraction. Nice place to relax after a hectic day with hardly any options to explore especially post dark. Overall the experience was just average. Would not repeat... More

Stayed here one night on a business trip. Got a corporate rate as I was part of a larger delegation so I did not mind the price too much. However when I consider the price I would have paid had I booked via the internet then this hotel is actually just below the 'value for money' mark. The room is... More
