The rooms are clean, the staff were friendly. I struggled with food but resturant staff were nice and provided me some options. The hotel is located in the heart of the city with shops and nice restaurants around. Banks and where to buy SIM cards are within walking distance.
Old design however good value for money, central and staff most helpful and attentive!

Great location and many friendly staff members
Great location in the CBD, I walked to the city market, KICC, and lots of restaurants.
The staff at breakfast were friendly and actually called me one morning when they didn’t see me so as to check on me. Security guards were helpful and I felt safe as a solo traveller. About 30 minutes to Kenyatta airport and many attractions
The pool was lovely. The room was lovely. Simple and everything worked - microwave, fridge, etc. Easy check in and helpful and friendly staff. Be careful walking the ‘hood. Stay alert and it is all good.
The views from my room showed how beautiful the area is with nearby parks and soaring hawks, egrets and swallows nearby. The nearby streets require you pay attention to your surroundings.
I upgraded to the apartment over the studio for cheaper. Normal rates were $79 but I booked it for less.
Arrived at 9pm and checked out by 11am (supposedly 10am is their normal check out time). It’s very walkable so on Sunday night, it looked dead. At 9am Monday morning, the whole area was popping. So the location is great. The room is average for Kenya and better than average bc the WiFi worked very well.
Hot water? The desk told me to turn it on so it is strange by American standards but Kenya seems quite common. I did not use the kitchen or tv but the 1 bedroom apartment is plenty for 1-3 ppl unless you’re tall. The couch could barely fit me at 5’7 who napped for an hour.
Overall, the bathroom is dated from the 1980s but it’s all good. I felt safe and the location is on point — I walked to an Ethiopian place with Afghan food (and halal goods) with so many local shops and a park nearby (5-15 minutes away).
I truly love staying at Chester House -it is my home away from home! The place is clean, staff is friendly, & professional & go above and beyond to make sure your stay is as perfect as you want it to be!
CH is perfectly situated close to everything -highway, local transport, walking distance to all CBD places one needs -supermarkets, government/business offices, church, gym, clubs, restaurants etc you name it & Chester is close to it!

I think the place need some renovation and upgrade. There’s always some issues with elevators.
The website is deceiving. Too dirty. Left after 10 minutes and booked another hotel. Will request for a refund

Gut für den Zwischenstop
Wir waren sowohl vor als auch nach unserer Safari im Chester. Die Zimmer sind wirklich groß und entsprechen der Beschreibung aber die Badezimmer insbesondere die Armatouren sind die reinste Katastrophe. Der service ist freundlich aber man muss, obwohl für zwei Personen gebucht, hinter der Ausstattung für die zweite Person hinterher telefonieren.
Das Frühstück ist einfach Mega. Alles in allem o. K. um einen Zwischenstop einzulegen.
