Top City Market Hotel Reviews

Radisson Blu Hotel Nairobi Upper Hill

10/10 Excellent

"Clean environment and courteous staff"

Sarova Stanley Hotel, Nairobi

10/10 Excellent

"A gem of a hotel in downtown Nairobi that is full of history. The staff were wonderful. Thank you to Maxwell who gave us a private tour of the hotel and told us of its rich history and Emily for ensuring I had gluten free happy hour food. Also, thank you to the waitress and chef in the restaurant who took the time to speak to me and prepare a safe and delicious meal."

Nairobi Safari Club by Swiss-Belhotel

8/10 Good

"Overall, I enjoyed my 4-day stay in this centrally located hotel. The staff at Reception area and in the restaurant serving breakfast were professional and hospitable. The management team quickly relocated me to a new room when a maintenance issue arose. I would recommend choosing a room that doesn't face the main room in front of the hotel."

Iconic Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Nothing but great things to say about my stay. Rooms were impeccable, service was 100%. Would stay there again without a doubt. Location is great for pick up for tours in the area, easy walking distance to markets and just a beautiful building inside and out. The lady at the front desk and the manger on duty were extremely helpful and just nice people."
