I have stayed at 680 for now over ten years (between 15 and 20 visits), everytime as a stop for one night, en route to other places. The rooms are OK, but security can still be improved a lot. The bar is a place where you will find businessmen, locals and prostitutes. I certainly would not recommend for a longer... More

680 is located right in the center of Nairobi business district (CBD) which is great positive for business travelers and it sort of fills up for all other negatives. The rooms are simple and neat. The TV set is archaic and you need to get the remote to operate the TV from the reception (!!). There are very few channels... More

I stayed at Sentrim 680 hotel in September 2011 for five days. Having heard about the noisy restaurant close to the hotel, I was careful enough to request beforehand (by email) that I wanted a 'quiet' room. The room I got was on the far side of the noisy place, and I could still hear the music until late night... More

Sentrim 680 Nairobi - The security in this hotel is excellent, although somewhat unnerving as there are guards on each floor. We liked the feeling this provided especially downtown Nairobi which, we are told, can be dangerous. We were disappointed in the lack of air-conditioning but we had hot water throughout the day and a private safe in our room.... More

At least 30 mins for check-in. Rooms are very basic - no aircon, beds very basic. No hot water in the mornings. Free loud music the whole night from a bar/pub nearby. Good luck! More

Though very central the 680 is very noisy from the inside with phones ringing at all hours and from the outside thanks to clubs. The staff are very variable and some will openly beg money from you. Bar is full of working girls who can be quite pushy. More

Stayed in the 680 for 4 nights while on business in Nairobi. The room was comfortable and had no security problems. Appreciated the guard on every floor. The reception staff could cheer up a bit. The hotel advertised as having smoking rooms - but this is not the case. I had booked a smoking room, but on arrival was told... More
