Only wound up spending a few hours at this hotel so it is difficult to rate. However, the breakfast buffet was excellent and the hotel was very clean and well kept. It is in very close proximity to the airport making it extremely convenient.

We only spent one night at this hotel, but it was a great experience. The hotel property is located inside the airport security perimeter. If you aren't familiar with the airport, you have to get out of your car and go through a separate metal detector to enter the airport area. Being able to be inside this security check means you can get to the airport 15-20 min faster. The hotel staff was excellent. The facilities were clean and tourist friendly. The hotel has great security. And the roof deck has a pool, bar, restaurant, and spa. Breakfast comes with a wide variety of foods (american, european, african, etc). There is also a gift shop on the property if you need to pick up souvenirs for people back home. Our room was impeccable. The staff even prepared a chocolate tray and flower petal decoration to celebrate our honeymoon. I would stay here again if I had an early or late departure from Nairobi.
