Best hotel in Nairobi

Fantastic hotel in the center of Nairobi. Unbelievable service, marvelous stuff, great food and well organised.

Excellent guest services, very clean
Kenneth, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

My stay was great. The room was clean and the air-conditioning was working and room services was great too. The only disappointment was food. We were served with meat (beef) that was rotten. But, the kitchen department asked for apology and we appreciated their apology & explanations. They handled it in a very professional. Otherwise overall everything was excellent.

The staff at the hotel were just fantastic people and very patient. The rooms were very clean plus the housekeeping staff do not hesitate to help when asked. The guest services team at the restaurant are just fabulous. Making my 18 year old daughter's birthday a very special day to remember. Thank you all at Sarova Panafric.

absolute gem in Nairobi

Great hotel, friendly staff who are willing to go out of their way to help, clean, comfortable and the food is fantastic with such a wide array of choices at what is at most hotels, a boring breakfast - not at this one.

Excellent staff and tasty food Will definitely be coming back for more
GIBSON, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

The best thing about the Sarova is the staff. Everyone eager to help you and welcome you. The spa treatments were wonderful with Pamela and Caroline. Kelvin was the best waiter and Stanley handled a large group well. Our main problem was the lobby only holds 10 people so there isn’t a place to hold meetings. Fortunately the weather was good and we met outside at the poolside restaurant.

My stay in Sarova Hotel

I like our stay over all. However, when they handled my luggage upon my arrival, they dropped my laptop and broke it. Now, I can’t use my laptop and am forced to buy a new one.
Desalegn, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel is very clean, modern, spacious rooms, and the gym is great as well. The staff is amazingly friendly, my flight was delayed multiple times but the hotel always responded and had someone waiting for me at the airport.

Great Hotel with Great Staff

I had an amazing stay here. The staff were top notch and extremely helpful during our entire stay. I had a few issues with my initial room that I was given at check in, and when I brought them up to the onsite manager, he quickly went out of his way to change my room. ALL of the staff I interacted with were fantastic. From the front desk, to the restaurant staff, to housekeeping, everyone went above and beyond. The rooms were great and very comfortable. Even the room I changed from was great. The main issue I had was with the balcony door. It had a large gap that could let bugs inside. Because I could not get the yellow fever vaccine, I was terrifed of mosquitos coming in. As I stated earlier, the manager changed our room without any issue and the new room was perfect. I would reccommend this hotel to anyone going to Nairobi.
