The Sarova Panafric is a bit hit or miss.
The location is great - from a coming from the airport point of view; not really good at all if you need to be in Westlands or Gigiri.
The terrace restaurant is a nice breakfast spot.
The rooms are decent sized, and the bed is comfortable enough.
I stayed two nights on two different occasions. The first occasion the room was thrid floor, and although traffic side, it was relatively quiet, excusing noises from the restaurant staff cleaning up the pool area from an occasion the night before.
The second occasion, the room was second floor and horrendous. The bathroom was only casually clean. The noise AND fumes from the traffic were almost unbearable. The air conditioner didn't work, and mosquitoes were everywhere. There are no nets on the bed and no screen on the patio door, so once you open it, they're in!
The wireless is good; and the service is courteous, if a bit slow during "rush hour".
So... if you get the right room, Sarova Panafric is a good hotel to stay in.

My wife and I spent several days at this hotel and enjoyed the pleasant staff and very comfortable room. The restaurant was fine although it flooded a bit with the rains. The location is very close to downtown. The Panafric makes a good stop off to or from a safari. Finally, I would highly recommend taxi driver Nicholas Muya at nicholasmuya98@yahoo.com for convenient transport around town.

Stayed there for 5 nights.. Hotel is in good location near to downtown... Break fast was good.. but less vegetarian options...

Security on every floor and Hotel staff were helpful

Over all it was good experience would go there back for sure..

We found ourselves in the Panafric in October for an overnight stop-over in Nairobi.

The hotel was well presented, we were well looked after and always felt safe. We arrived very late from our flight and where told catering had closed, we were however offered room service, we didn't expect much for gone midnight in Nairobi however we accepted. The food was fantastic and some of the fastest room service i have ever seen.

We also had to leave early for our further transfer and thought we might miss the best of breakfast but they had that all set up ready and waiting for us. For a similar very brief stay I would have no problems recommending the Panafric.
