Top City Market Hotel Reviews

Sarova Stanley Hotel, Nairobi

10/10 Excellent

"A brilliant choice for a stay in Nairobi. Service is superb and the facilities excellent. The hotel rooms are very well sound-proofed and the rooftop pool is lovely."

Fairview Hotel Nairobi, Vignette Collection by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Highly recommended. Extremely helpful staff, very comfortable room and the grounds and garden are beautiful. There is a large pool and lots of places to relax in the gardens and several different restaurants to choose from. The airport transfer service was also excellent and waited for me despite my flight being very late."

Hyatt Place Nairobi Westlands

10/10 Excellent

"This property is far above the limit of only 5 stars. From the cleanliness of the property to the immense variety at the breakfast buffet to the physical location of the property, it can't be beat. The cherry on top of all the icing the the friendliness of the staff, always a smile to greet you, the way your name is always used in greetings, makes it ultra comfortable. This not only is for the staff but extends to ALL level of management. While management probably has an office somewhere in the building, the preference is be always visible and, like the Operations Manager, prefers to work on his laptop near the open lobby."
