An excellent 5-star experience! The hotel is beautiful, modern, and well maintained, with very friendly and welcoming staff. The location is fantastic, making it an excellent choice for anyone visiting Nairobi. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone travelling to Nairobi and would happily stay here again.
This is the best hotel in all of Kenya. And that’s not an understatement and yes, I’ve been to hotels all over Kenya for the last 11 years. Maybe there is a hotel that is drastically nicer and more luxurious up in the Masai Mara like the other JW Marriott in that location that’s $5000 a night or the Ritz Carlton in that area for $5000 a night but for 150-600 USD a night in Nairobi there is nothing better. The quality of the food the furnishings, pool, and all of its many other features is unparalleled. The Hyatt Regency might have a nicer gym, but the JW Marriott is superior in every other way.
Breakfast was fresh. The cassava was horrible though

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Amazing hotel. Pure class to everything. Love the level of soundproofing in the rooms. Great breakfast, good restaurants and the pool area is sweet. Great gym as well
I travel a lot… Spend a lot of time in hotels all around the world… And this is one of the nicest places I’ve ever stayed. Courteous&
& attentive staff and an impeccably clean & beautifully arranged layout throughout the hotel. And the breakfast… Not to be missed.!!
Staff: The staff was amazing! So much so I contacted the front office manager Simone Mwangi and sung the praises of the following outstanding people:
- Agatha Francis ( front desk agent)
-Kevin ( front desk agent)
-Cleophas- server
Matrade- Spa
-Massi greeters at the entrance
-All the staff on the Executive Lounge!
The property is well maintained and love the pool & spa
This hotel was a true to form classic. They were very attentive and classy. I loved that some of the staff wore the tradition clothes and it added a highlight above all the other highlights. The staff are clearly proud to work there and I was proud to stay there.
