Sarova Stanley Hotel, Nairobi

10/10 Excellent

"The Sarova Stanley Hotel is an old fashioned downtown hotel leftover from a different era. Everything was right about the place. A beautiful facility, well cared for. Good food in the restaurants. I happened to have come down with a bad cold while in Nairobi. The staff gave me a little extra TLC. The lobby staff were particularly helpful in helping foreign visitors such as ourselves navigate the complexity of modern Nairobi."

Kije Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I recommend this hotel to everyone. The staff are amazing - Lidia, Caleb, Colin and everyone else whose names I didn't find out. The chefs, waiters, housekeeping were all amazing. Kije Place is in a great location, the food is wonderful and it's also great value for money. It's definitely one of the best hotels I have stayed in for a long time. Above everything though, it's the people who work there who are welcoming, kind, helpful and respectful - they are the best of Nairobi, and I hope the management and ownership treat them well. Thank you!"
