I recently stayed at this hotel, and while the location in the heart of Nairobi's business district was fantastic, there were several downsides to my experience. The rooms were quite basic and outdated, and the noise from the nearby nightclub made it difficult to sleep. On the plus side, the service from the staff was truly exceptional, and they went out of their way to assist us. Overall, I would say it’s worthwhile for its central location, but it could use some serious upgrades in comfort.
