“MERIDAN HOTEL NAIROBI KENYA”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed June 19, 2012

Meridian Hotel Nairobi has been a regular stopover for me on all my vacations in Nairobi Kenya.
The reason is because all the standard/double rooms have an ante-room, bedroom, toilet,
and shower (all seperate). Because of this I am most comfortable although I know of better
and costlier alternatives.
Secondly Meridian is situated on Muranga (I hope my geography of Nairobi is spot on) road
in the Central Business District part of Nairobi.
Thirdy the price range is about $100 USD range for a standard room. This for me is within
my budget.
For the afore reasons I have stuck to Meridian. However there are a few issues I have had to
put up with namely the styling of the rooms I find dated, the windows above the entrance doors
to some rooms have no mosquitio netting (I suffered the effects in the Easter of 2011), cabinet beds (comfortable) but so retro and no air conditioner (not really an issue since I live in much warmer climes).
Room Service is OK, the lift works, staff are courteous and friendly (including front desk) and room
service is fine.
I consider the rooms on the Second floor and above as suitable because on the first floor (I think)
the verandahs have anti-burglary bars which obscures the panoramic view from up. Then there is
the noise from the mosque to consider particularly on fridays which the first floor overlooks directly.
I have had to change rooms because of this more than once.
Summarily, a pleasing place to stay in that city for that price

PS: Happy to hear my next stay attracts a 10% discount.

REVIEWER: FURO MATTHEW KAMBI

Room Tip: Second floor and above are a must for standard/double rooms due to noise mainly from the mosque and...

“My hotel of choice when in Nairobi - for over 20 years.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 23, 2012

Meridian Court Hotel is situated just of one of the main streets in Nairobi (Moi Avenue) so there is easy access to the city centre - within easy walking distance. The hotel is clean and spacious and one of my favourite facilities is that one gets a sitting room as well as a bedroom. The rooms are adequately furnished and clean. The staff are always friendly, welcoming and ready to help. Another aspect I like is that there is secure underground parking.
Breakfast is good, with a wide choice of foods for most tastes, although no pork products due to the religion of the owners, which I respect.
There is a great Indian restaurant on the ground floor which serves many delicious dishes.
The surroundings may not be the best in Nairobi but I have never felt unsafe either reaching or leaving the hotel, and with a taxi park just outside transport is easy.
I hope to be able to continue to use this hotel for any future visits to Nairobi as it offers good value for money.

Room Tip: I prefer a room looking over Muranga Road as in the past I have been disturbed early in the morning...

“Goodness Galore”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 27, 2012

The Meridian Court is located at a crossroads between the quieter and the less quieter CBD in Nairobi. Security from a Nairobian's perspective is great and being away from the prime establishment, it less likely to be on a terrorist's radar.
The reception area is spacious with all attendants more than willing to be of help, with a genuine smile to boot!
The room (deluxe double for this review) was fab. It is made of the bedroom and a lounge with a balcony. No spectacular views from the balcony but that added to the size of the room.
Room furniture was adequate with a huge refrigerator, settees, work desk and multiple well laced lights.
Sleep quality was superb and the bed was soft, cuddly and warm.
The breakfast serving range was not especially wide but was a little more than basic.
Overall experience was great. For only 110 dollars. Oh and a rooftop pool for residents.

“A really simple,nice place to stay!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 18, 2012

My Dad and I stayed here and loved it! The rooms were simple but functional. The showers were really good had hot water and pressure. The bed is really hard but i got used to it. The staff here were super friendly and always willing to help! I didn't know there was a pool here... so that's a bit of a disappointment. However this hotel is in a great location and a walking distance from the National Archives, Nairobi National Museum and the train museum. Which are all great places to go to! The food here is really good and has great prices. The sweet and sour chicken is AMAZING!!!! A really excellent place to stay!

Dear EmilyS,

Thank you for your comments about our staff. A number of our guests prefer hard beds, but we also have softer ones so that all our guests are comfortable. Please feel free to ask for a soft bed the next time you visit. Sorry you did not get to use the swimming pool. Information about the facilities is usually contained in the guest information pack found in the room, but we'll make sure it is more prominently displayed. As for the food, the chef appreciates your compliments.

“Budget Hotel - No Frills.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 15, 2012

Had an overnight stay at this hotel prior to an early morning departure from Nairobi. The hotel is fairly basic but our room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The staff were helpful. Didn't make use of any facilities.
