"The staff was very friendly helpful and provided me an extremely safe and enjoyable stay. The hotel is beautiful and the rooms are large and spotlessly clean. Probably the best hotel I’ve ever stayed at and I’ve traveled the world . "

Sarova Stanley Hotel, Nairobi

6/10 Okay
"Staff was excellent. Amenities in the room were not up to standard for a 5 stars hotel and overall, the feeling is that the hotel is living on its glory - but is not any longer that good. Hot/Warm water in the shower was not coming. Heating/AC was not working and the insulation of the rooms is of poor quality as well as the sound proofing. What is the point of having a terrace by the garden if you cannot use it as everything gets wet?"
