Disappointing
The corridors smelt like cigarettes. I was given a box of a room with 2 ridiculous sized chairs that were completely out of place for such a small room. AC was just air and no chill. Changed to a bigger room, also an odd space with a small window and an enormous blank wall that should’ve been a window . Won’t be back.

Poor maintenance, cold shower
It was my 3rd stay at Royal tulip and unfortunately with same bad experience with a basic issue which is the shower : cold and leaking, when i did the check-in at 10pm i kindly asked the front desk agent to give me a room without shower problem, and this is what he confirmed to me, but at my surprise: cold water & leaking shower, they couldn't do anything that night and morning time i took a cold shower too, and just two hours before my check-out they suggested to me another room which doesn't make sense.

This is a nice location, away from the areas that riot when there is political unrest. The hotel is lovely. The staff is friendly, and there is a nice mall with food within a block or so if you get tired of hotel food. The hotel food is also good, but I like to get out and look around.

Nice Hôtel
Level hotel, friendly welcoming staff, clean well designed lobby and restaurant areas, very confortable room, well located in Kilimani, very quiet area compared to neighbourhood, the only issue is with the SHOWER : water mixer needs maintenance.
I will return again.

I loved my stay at Royal Tulip! The staff is so friendly, the rooms are super clean and the beds are comfortable. The front desk staff was also very accommodating of several changes in my travel plans. Anita at the front desk is so nice and welcoming. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
