This hotel welcomes you with arms wide open. There's a guard at the gate and there's ice in the ice-box. Everything is complete. Across the roadway you can see the Nairobi National Park pulsing in the distance.

If you need a place to stay just for a night while you're in transition, this is a great place to stay as you do NOT HAVE to deal with Nairobi traffic -- WHICH IS AWFUL! You can spend hours going nowhere.

Don't miss the stone stairwell going top to bottom on the backside of the hotel. Walk it. you won't be sorry :)

We booked a flight from Lamu to Wilson Airport and Had 6 hours until we needed to be at the International Airport. We decided that we would find a hotel that had a bar and restaurant to waste some time. When we arrived at Panari they checked our luggage so that we could eat and drink. The respect they gave us was as if we were going to spend $200. Great staff and great end to our time in Kenya.

I have stayed a this hotel on numerous occasions due to this is the one my work book for me.

This hotel is based out the main centre of Nairobi but is about 15mins away from the airport.

The rooms are always very clean and front desk service is great. I have never eaten at hotel, but does have a restaurant in the building, used to have a courtyard with food but as of Dec12 only 1 shop open!

Ice rink in the building! Seems funny for a hot country.

Gym and pool also in the hotel but starting to look a bit tired but still useable.

Spent one night at this hotel and it was probably the worst hotel I have experienced in Kenya. The cost of one night, or 8 hours was over $300 and the rooms are tiny. If this hotel can find a way to charge for more, I am sure they would!

There are much better hotels in Nairobi that are more cost efficient and reliable than this one. I would not recommend this hotel, nor will I ever stay here again.
