“For the Budget Traveler, a Good Choice”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed May 20, 2009

The Hotel Embassy is a good hotel for a budget traveler. It is extremely inexpensive, and the rooms are clean, albeit a bit worn looking. The first night we arrived we discovered the toilet would not flush properly, but on reporting it to the front desk it was repaired immediately.

The restaurant in the hotel, like the hotel itself, looks as though it has seen better days (and the restrooms were frightening!) but the food was quite excellent, and the manager - always impeccably dressed in a suit and tie - would walk to and fro among the tables making sure his diners were satisfied. The only quibble is that it seems to have just one chef, consequently it could take a long time to get one's meal.

As a romantic getaway, it would not be the best choice, but if you are looking to spend a few nights in Nairobi and do not want to spend a lot of money, the Hotel Embassy is a good bet.

  • Liked — Good location downtown

“Decent hotel in the heart of Nairobi”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 23, 2008

The Hotel Embassy was a nice hotel in the heart of Nairobi. Nairobi itself is not terribly safe, however we had no issues at all at the hotel, and we stayed there a total of 5 nights. Definitely recommend it to any budget travelers. there is hot water, toilet seats (a luxury it would seem compared to certain other budget hotels in Africa) and the rooms are clean, though a little aged. The staff is friendly and helpful, the restaurant cooks some delicious East Indian-Kenyan dishes, and you are in the heart of downtown so close to all ammenities. No real safety deposit box, which is dissapointing, but you can leave valuables with the manager to pickup at certain times.

  • Liked — The restaurant
  • Disliked — No safety deposit box available
