“A very good property in a good location managed well - Strictly veg !”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 8, 2012

A very good property, located in the westlands, within 100m of Nakumatt Westgate Shopping Mall which is one of the largest malls in Nairobi.
Its actually more like a service apartment. they provide a small kitchen otta with microwave, coffee maker, cutlery for two and tea coffee bags. You can buy all supplies from the adjecent Westgate mall, including Indian food supplies and packets. The bed room is separate.
The restaurant serves an excellent Indian vegetarian breakfast.
The property is managed by Kenyan locals and is probably part owned by a person of Indian origin.
The rooms, linen and towels are clean. Toilets are good except that it has not been provided with a hand held spray for the toilet bowl but the bath spray with jet setting can double up, if need be.
The bath shower is provided with pump and heater arrangement which works well.
The tariff is between 10000KES to 15000KES. 1 INR = 1.5 KES.

Room Tip: Some rooms have a shower while others have a bath tub.

I have been staying for more than two weeks.Room was clean and quiet.Very rich and tasty breakfast.
I enjoyed my stay at this hotel, but my warmest congratulations to the hotel for their choice of personnel. They know how to really make you feel at home, and if you need anything it is like asking a family member. Congratulations from the heart, you were fantastic.

“Lovely and quiet”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 21, 2012

Having stayed in the heart of Nairobi for a few nights, I was getting a bit run down and tired. With all the street noise, I had been having a hard time of sleeping. Then came a couple of blissful nights at the Progressive Park Hotel and all was solved.
Progressive Park is almost literally next door to the Westgate Shopping Centre in Westlands. It is back off the road a ways, and the area is very quiet at night. With the shopping centre nearby, the location is great. There are even some other centres and a heap of restaurants and bars to choose from as well, all within walking distance.
The hotel is accessed via a gate to a long driveway, and there is a guard on the gate so security is good.
My room was great – more of an apartment than a hotel room, with a separate lounge and kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. Heaps of space and all kept clean and comfortable. The rooms are not new, but in reasonable shape.
The hotel has free wifi, which was a good speed and reliable. My booking also included a free airport transfer which was very handy.
The only real negative was the hot water – or lack of it. The water heater on the wall didn’t really do much – I got luke warm water on one day and stone cold the next. But other than that, I cannot really fault Progressive Park Hotel.
Westlands is not too far from the centre of town – in off peak times I travelled between the two in around 20 minutes – peak times will take MUCH longer. Progressive Park was an excellent hotel, not too remote and nice and quiet. Recommended.

Thank you for taking the time to write such a thorough review with some very nice photos. I am pleased to read that you enjoyed your overall stay with us, in particular the hotel location, complimentary high speed WIFI and clean comfortable rooms.

I would like to sincerely apologize regarding the hot water situation you were faced with. The water heaters installed in every room are of very high quality (The unit is made in Malaysia and the heating element in the UK); I wish this problem would have been reported to the reception so that appropriate action could have been taken immediately.

I would like to once again apologize for the inconvenience caused and look forward to welcoming you back to the Progressive Park.
