Sarova Panafric is located within walking distance from the centre of Nairobi. I was adviced to walk alone during the day light only. This is a cosy hotel with nice restaurant and friendly staff. The rooms are rather basic but OK. The hotel has plenty of well catered conference rooms for meetings. Bear in mind the traffic in Nairobi is congested and allow enough time getting to the airport.

I stayed at the Sarova Panafric for one week whilst I engaged in some charity work for the company I work with. The hotel is well laid out with lots of places to 'hang out' in our down time. The rooms are clean and nicely appointed and there are very friendly security guards at each floor! The food was good to great and the staff were absolutely fabulous!!! A fantastic stay in Nairobi made better by this hotel!

The foyer for this hotel has very obviously been upgraded, so when we saw our room it was disappointing. The room was very basic and clean with a TINY bathroom, but has seen better days. We had a room that faced the street and it was quite noisy.

Having said that, the staff were friendly and the restaurant was very nice. The breakfast buffet had a huge variety of food and it was tasty.

The hotel had internet access in the business centre that was very high speed. There was high security at the door to get in, which made it feel safe.

Compared to other hotels we stayed at during our trip to Kenya, this one was not one of the best, but it was clean and felt safe.

The first thing that's immediately apparent is that this star is fading. The rooms (superior) have seen better days. Be sure to avoid a room facing the street as the traffic is surprisingly loud at night.

That said, the service was excellent. Everyone from the security to the ladies at reception did everything to make my stay as comfortable as possible. The breakfast buffet was pretty extensive and again the staff was very friendly and hospitable. Dinner was just ok and very overpriced IMO.

Airport transfers were obscenely expensive (USD50 each way). There are numerous reputable options online for airport xfers for as low as $20 each way - some even allow you to book directly from their website.

While my stay wasn't terrible, I was expecting more since other online reviews were very encouraging.
