“Great Hotel pity about the road”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 20, 2013

Great place tostay and have business meetings. Just the Upperhill road leading to the hotel is in very poor shape, in fact so poor I would recomend using a 4x4 to get to it.
Besides the hotel running out of ice cubes it is a great place to relax in the centre of Nairobi

“Nice but quiet area”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 16, 2013

All the staff are great and you can organise taxis to get around. Rooms are spacious and of the standard you'd expect for the price. Breakfast was underwhelming and the location is away from the 'drama' of the city - But its easy to get to where ever you want. Quite a nice local bar opposite the hotel to wander over to for a meal and a drink. The gym and spa area is very very good. I would not hesitate to return

Room Tip: stayed in 2 at different = they seemed the same

“Comfortable room with bathtub & great service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 6, 2013

I stayed this hotel for 1 night after 2 weeks of traveling in Africa. This hotel is located in quite area, and I couldn't here any noise from road construction that everybody complains. It took 20 min to get to the airport, and I guess this hotel is pretty close to Nairobi. (not in a center though) I had good dinner, and room was very nice and clean just like 5 star hotel, and all staffs were kind. This hotel offers high speed internet so that you can serf the internet for free.

Well, I had two options for my last night in Nairobi at Hilton or this hotel. And I think it was a good choice to choose this hotel. I heard that Hilton in Nairobi is very old but our room was very nice and clean, bedding was new, and my boyfriend and I enjoyed the bathtub. (You know, hotels in nairobi barely has a bathtub)

“Good hotel in quiet area”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 28, 2012 via mobile

I stayed in the CP for a night. Its a good business hotel in a quiet area. The room was spacious and clean with a very comfortable bed and pillows. The only fault is the breakfast buffet, I dont think it was worth the $20. Worth mentioning that pool area is located by the breakfast restaurant which is a rather odd place for it.

“Comfortable rooms, excellent service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 28, 2012

Stayed here for two weeks. The linen, bedding, soft pillows are nice. Slept very well after a long day. All hotel staff starting from security, door man, front lobby, room service, janitors, etc. are courteous and polite. If you eat only vegetarian food, choices immediately outside Crowne Plaza are very limited. Since it is located in the upper hill area, we used to walk down the hill in the evenings to have dinner in downtown Nairobi. Then, take a taxi back to Upper hill later in the night. Since this hotel is relatively new, overall stay was excellent. Hope the management maintains the enthusiasm and standards over the years.

Room Tip: Choose rooms facing teh so called "city view" side. By the time you get there, newly built...
