Top Ruiru Hotel Reviews

JW Marriott Hotel Nairobi

JW Marriott Hotel Nairobi

10/10 Excellent
"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."

"I’ve traveled on two different occasions and stayed here both times. The hotel was clean and I appreciate the linen and everything being changed daily, which is a plus the kitchen restaurant being open 24 hours a day. I also enjoyed the two Rivers mall being walking distance for your shopping needs . The only pullback that I have is more than once, placing an order to eat, and they either brought me the wrong food or the time to wait was extremely long. Even with those experiences, I would stay again and I would recommend."
