"We were not lucky on the night we stayed. There was a power outage late night in parts of Kenya and hotel’s power generator was on and it made loud noises. We could not sleep well. We understood that it was not hotel’s fault. All the staffs there are very nice and helpful. Breakfast was good and sufficient. We will come back after our safari trip and we hope room will be quiet."

Honeymoon Double Room | Premium bedding, down comforters, individually decorated

"Rooms are as in the pictures. Little disappointed that there was no air conditioning. Was only given one towel. Food was terrible. Expensive and it took so long to get served in a rather mediocre venue for the price you pay. Also was served cold. Chips were soggy and overall experience with food was quite disappointing. I did like the room layout and big wooden doors but wasn’t a fan of the old locks but understand some folks may find that appealing. At the gate, the guard was quite pleasant and...

"Anyone who stays at Hemmigways, Karen, Nairobi will not be disappointed. The property is often used as a pre or post safari hotel. But I used it as my destination resort in its own right & I was thrilled with everything, especially the kind & thoughtful attention from all the staff. Highly recommended."

"It seemed like this place just opened and was not ready for guests, but they did not have power when I arrived, which was a big let down after traveling from the US for over a day. They also didn't have internet for a while, until they got power back and after I asked. Not a bad place, maybe it'll get better with time. The food and service was good! "

"The Hermosa Garden Hotel is a delight. It exudes old world charm and traditional tastefulness whilst being thoroughly modern, spotlessly janitored, and decked with all the conveniences the demanding business traveller has come to expect. The neighbourhood is a bit of a distance to the city center during peak hours but it more than makes up for that with the tranquil greenery and upscale vibe. And if you plan well, getting to downtown from the area isnt the hassle it used to be a couple of years...

"If you need to stay in Nairobi and feel like you are not in the city then the Fairview is the place. We cannot say enough about the hotel and wonderful staff who make this hotel even more special. "

5/5 Excellent

"Extremely happy with the hotel and the staff. We were treated so kindly at check-in by Ms. Esther and helped by everyone else with all kinds of questions and needs we have. The location can't be beat. So convenient to stay at the mall, especially if you have children. Just spend the extra money and stay here, you will not regret it."
