This was the worst hotel I've every stayed at. The rooms haven't been updated since the 70's and everything in my room was dirty, dingy, and falling apart. It felt more like 'camping' than a hotel. My poor brother got TERRIBLE food poisoning from the restaurant. The lobby was deceiving when we arrived because it was really nice and then... more

I normally stay at the Safari Club when I come through Nairobi whether I am staying in town for a single night or several days. The staff are all very friendly and professional. It helps that I've stayed here now often enough that they all pretty much know me. The hotel is undergoing a top to bottom refit with new... more

We stayed at this hotel for one night at the beginning of March. I found the hotel as I expected for the age of the building and country. Our room was on the 11th floor and overlooked University Drive. We arrived at 9:30pm at night and left at 8:30am the next morning, so I suppose it wouldn't be wise to... more

We stayed in this hotel for 3 nights after our safari in Amboseli. It was terrible. The rooms are still in their original decor from 1983. Nothing has been cleaned or touched since that time, I'm sure. First we were checked into the "VIP" suite on the 15th floor. The first thing we noticed was that the white stucco ceiling... more

Management response from
antuf, General Manager

I find Mr. Poekelou's comments not fair. The ceilings on the 15th. floor are not black but are painted dark grey. I agree that the furniture is old but that is our concept and the solid oak furniture is much appreciated by most of our clients who know it's value. The curtains are not black as wrongfully commented. The hotel...

I stayed in the Nairobi Safari Club for one night in November 2005 prior to my safari in Kenya/Tanzania. We also had a day room there before our flight home at the end of the trip. Our hotel was booked by the tour guide that arranged the safari (2Afrika - they were great), so I am not sure how it... more

I stayed here for a conference in December 2007. Can't compare to other hotels in the city but I found the room to be comfortable, quiet and clean, the staff helpful and friendly. The conference facilities were also very good. Only minor problem to report is the wireless internet connection that was a bit erratic. Having said that, technical staff... more

Good location to visit markets and tourist shops. Staff friendly enough and provide a good service. Internet expensive. about 4euros for 30mins and 6euros for 1 hour. I would advise you to just turn left as you leave the hotel and there is an internet cafe there. Wi-fi in the rooms didn't work for me very well at all, but... more

On the whole I liked this hotel. The suites were welcome and I the staff were helpful if a little too "business like" for me. I only stayed for a single night, after a safari, and the major disappointment was not being able to get much hot water at about 5 in the afternoon :( The room was nice though,... more

I agree with what the others have said. A bit dated, but clean and with a good breakfast and attentive staff. Road can be noisy, but I can sleep through everything. Some of the services (namely laundry and internet) are quite highly priced. Also there was a problem when checking out (I was charged the full rate when should have... more

The hotel was great. I can´t write down a single negative point. From the hotel we made a city centre walk and back. New sanitary. more
