Sarova Stanley Hotel, Nairobi

Sarova Stanley Hotel, Nairobi

10/10 Excellent
"Well maintained historical place in central-ish Nairobi."

Sarova Stanley Hotel, Nairobi
Fairmont The Norfolk

Fairmont The Norfolk

6/10 Okay
"Staff was excellent. Amenities in the room were not up to standard for a 5 stars hotel and overall, the feeling is that the hotel is living on its glory - but is not any longer that good. Hot/Warm water in the shower was not coming. Heating/AC was not working and the insulation of the rooms is of poor quality as well as the sound proofing. What is the point of having a terrace by the garden if you cannot use it as everything gets wet?"
