I stayed there in my last business trio, my business partner recommended this hotel. Very stylish, I stayed in a single room. Clean, , comfortable . The staff was extremely friendly. The upstairs dining area is also very well designed. Breakfast was decent , they do not have a huge variety but the essentials are catered for. And of course... More

We stayed at this hotel for one night in August of 2009. A friend who was working in Nairobi suggested the hotel, and we were very happy with our stay. The location was a bit random- I think it is aimed more for business travelers rather than tourists, but the hotel itself was very clean, felt quite safe, and we... More

Good for business as well sited. Clean, efficient if a little charmless - though you're not paying for charm right? Rooms are large and a great desk for spreading and organising work documents. Beds are clean and rooms simple and clean as well. Internet is ok and FOC. No restaurant though room service will deliver and charge to your room... More

Excellent hotel and great value. Extremely clean and lovely bed. The free wifi is the fastest internet I've used in Kenya (I wish I could get it that fast at home in Kisumu). The breakfast is nice but nothing special. My only suggestion is to include an iron and ironing board. It's kind of essential when travelling for business to... More

It doesn't claim to be deluxe, but you get an awful lot for your money. My room was big, with a comfortable bed and a large desk. WiFi (free) was excellent - I had two 3-hour Skype meetings without a problem. Garden is small but there are places to sit, both in sun and shade. The two gyms are small... More

As I have said in other reviews, my first criterion for choosing a hotel in Nairobi is location. In the Upper Hill area, the Country Lodge used to provide the very best value for money. Their rooms are spartan (small, one chair, one hand towel, one bath towel, double bed, fan but no a/c), but well equiped for the business... More

I regularly go to Nairobi for meetings and on business. I have stayed a number of places over the years and these days settle for one - every time - Country Lodge. Value for money is superb and the service is always first class - from booking through to check-in and the extra's. The rooms are good, without being over-done,... More

What you get at the Country Lodge (CL) is superb for the price you pay. I have stayed at a number of hotels in Nairobi but this is my number 1 choice. Breakfast is superb, staff and helpful beyond belief and the whole experience is just great. Very modern minimalism decor. If you like frilly "chince" style or a 1930's... More

The accommodation is reasonable, basic but it has everything you need. I love staying here when I come to Nairobi for work (although if I came with my family I would stay elsewhere). The showers have the BEST water pressure, the rooms are clean, breakfast rocks, and you have the Fairview right next door to dine at!
