Superb hotel in every respect: courtyard. People, service, rooms, dining, bar ( but skimpy hard liquor drink pours) location and attention to quality details.

Outstanding hotel in the middle of Nairobi. Superb, friendly staff, good food, skimpy drinks, and beautifully maintained British colonial furnishings and layout. A refreshing break from the sterile and cold environment of newer hotels. Just teriffic!

Fantastic stay - charming, helpful and efficient staff, clean and comfortable resort with all the modern offerings a good hotel should have, set in an old world setting in the heart of town. If I can help it - will always stay here when visiting Nairobi.

recently stayed for two nights at the Fairmont in Canyon, and while most of my stay was pleasant, I encountered an issue on the last day. The hotel provided a very small, single-use toothpaste, which wasn’t enough for the duration of my stay. As I was heading to a safari, I requested a few extra small toothpaste tubes to take with me, but the front desk was unhelpful and questioned why I needed more. They even mentioned that since I was checking out soon, they couldn’t provide any more, even though I still had a few hours left before check-out. Their attitude, including the manager’s, felt dismissive and discriminatory. I’m very disappointed to experience such poor service at a hotel of this caliber.

This was certainly a grand dame 40 years ago when my wife first stayed at The Norfolk, but we found the place tired and the whole routine a bit sketchy. We were given a room that was not what we booked (booking specifically called for a King bed, but we received a Queen and the hotel staff tried to convince us that indeed the bed was a "King-like" bed). I was given two separate quotes for a car service, one twice the other, and both were a multiple of what Uber quoted for the same ride. I sat outside enjoying a cigar and a waieter asked me if i had an "extra cigar" for him. That's never happened to me anywhere. Also of note, the manager was quite welcoming until he saw we had a problem with the room and he then disappeared faster than you could imagine. Indeed it's a grand dame that has seen better days.
