Argyle Grand Hotel Nairobi Airport
For the price and reviews, I was underwhelmed. Excellent location if you’re trying to stay close to the airport. Breakfast buffet was not included, which was not clear during booking, and the price for the buffet was outrageous, but the food and drinks were good.

Crowne Plaza Nairobi Airport by IHG
Airport shuttle was incredibly straight-forward. No trying to find the shuttle etc, just straight to the desk and shuttle was ready in 2 minutes. The property exceeded expectations - the bed was a larger king that anticipated!
