“The club rooms and amenities make this place worthwhile”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 5, 2013

This is a busy business hotel and a little worn down but the rooms we stayed in were very nice. Access to the club room meant that we had a quiet space in which to eat, snack and work throughout the day. There's also a nice outdoor patio/bar. It's in the heart of Nairobi and easy to get around from here.

“Over rated over priced bad service bad breakfast old rooms noisy”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed March 2, 2013

This hotel do not deserve to be part of Intercontinental chain, could be a holliday inn if refurbished but it is high street robbery to call it intercontinental!
Located in the city center very noisy, all the rooms are old furnished with the same tv that on my first stay in 91. Italian restaurant is an insult to Italian cuisine, breakfast is bad, as well as the service.
I will never going back to this hotel.

“Are we talking about the same place?”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 28, 2013

This was a 3 star average hotel and I'm feeling generous tonight. Everyone was nice and courteous enough, but everything was just SO outdated and faded. Breakfast was really not special at all and I was just totally underwhelmed. It's just fine for one night, just don't expect anything special at all. I couldn't feel more neutral.

“Average Hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 27, 2013

The hotel is close to the airport more or less given the size and high level of traffic in the city. However, the hotel is only average. It is quite outdated and it did not feel clean. Staff was not particularly friendly or helpful. There are other hotels in the city that are nicer.
