Top City Hall Hotel Reviews

Best Western Nairobi Upper Hill

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms were cleaned"

Iconic Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Z"

Radisson Blu Hotel Nairobi Upper Hill

10/10 Excellent

"I'll definitely go back"

Kije Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I recommend this hotel to everyone. The staff are amazing - Lidia, Caleb, Colin and everyone else whose names I didn't find out. The chefs, waiters, housekeeping were all amazing. Kije Place is in a great location, the food is wonderful and it's also great value for money. It's definitely one of the best hotels I have stayed in for a long time. Above everything though, it's the people who work there who are welcoming, kind, helpful and respectful - they are the best of Nairobi, and I hope the management and ownership treat them well. Thank you!"

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."

Sarova Panafric Hotel, Nairobi Upper Hill

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were very friendly and helpful"

Chester Hotel and Suites Nairobi, City Centre CBD

10/10 Excellent

"Great location"

Fairview Hotel Nairobi, Vignette Collection by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Staff is very warm, kind and helpful, The food is very good and the service is exceptional. Installations are cleaned and well maintained. The only thing is the quality of the coffee, which needs to be improved to match the high level of other beverage and food items."
