Overall great location located in the heart of CBD, numerous restaurants and street vendors around to purchase anything from food to clothing . Virtually walking distances to everything you can imagine. I consider this a good strategic location because it puts me within 15-20 of some of Nairobi most popular estates and malls. Friendly and professional staff with a nice restaurant and bar available inside.

The only thing I didn’t like about this location was that it didn’t have a lift. Other than that, this place was comfortable and in a convenient location. If I had been traveling solo, I wouldn’t have felt so comfy but my partner is Kenyan and that eased me greatly. Lovely rooms, nice staff. They have a lounge here but we didn’t get to go. Maybe next time!

The sweet old Marble Arch Hotel is no more!
For the last several years- 8 to be exact- Marble Arch Hotel is the place I always went to when dropping in from the US and even during local stays while in Nairobi. Everything then was perfect. Not anymore. Something seemed to have gone wrong somewhere. Marble Arch is now crumbling. First, I was checked into a room with a leaking toilet. No apologies. Worst of it, I got no concession when I was switched into a new room the following day.Second, some of my stuff went missing from one of my bags. I will be honest and say that I am not absolutely certain whether that happened at the hotel or at the airport. However, we could have easily established that fact if security cared to run through their CCTV tape. They didn't. Or, if they did they have never reached out to me two weeks down. Awful, awful experience. I wouldnt recommend this hotel to anyone whatsoever. And for me, I am done with it.

Wonderful, low cost and convenient
Amazing place. The staff is wonderfully attentive and go well beyond the norm! Food is good - get the breakfast with the room - it is worth it. Rooms are clean, beds are very comfortable. Get a room in the back as it is on busy road but that makes it very accessible. Many sights and shopping are all walk-able. Came back 3 times within the context of my trip.
