One does not have to be a registered guest to take advantage of the hotel's facilities. For a very reasonable daily fee of $25-30 one is able to use their fabulous pool and spa and well-equipped exercise room; of course one is also eat in one of their many resturants. A day there would sooth any travel weary body.

everything in this hotel is very old , decoration, furniture , even clothes and haircuts of waiters. rooms are very noisy , windows do not close well , far from hermetic , AC also is very noisy but you have to afford it otherwise it will be too hot to sleep.
quality of food is below average ( we tried dinner and breakfast ) some of the waiters are friendly

Stayed at the Serena Hotel for two nights prior to our safari. Rooms were nice and comfortable. Very pleasant stay and would love to go back! We ate of the hotel's seafood restaurant and were very impressed with its delicious and fresh choice of seafood.

perfectly situated in the center of Nairobi, easily accessed from different areas,
the rates are slightly on the higher side, but the hotel got everything to offer, good food, large garden offering very nice sitting areas to enjoy the greenery, for the bird lovers among you, if you pay good attention, you can find quite several birds species flying around the garden...you might get lucky and have one of them singing on your window in the morning.

remember to ask a room facing the garden, much better view and if you're early bird - you will enjoy a silluette purple sunset
