We stayed here as a stop over between Lamu and the UK in September 2010. The hotel had a good feel, very clean and spacious. The service was friendly and efficient and the variety of restaurants was good. Our room was in the main part of the hotel and was very comfortable with a large bathroom. I just wish that... More

Clean rooms, quiet, always a good place to recharge after a flight over or mara visit. Food is great in the lobby restaurant. Staff is very good at scheduling activities and the front office group makes you feel safe and secure. More

Unfortunately, what used to be a very nice place to stay in Nairobi has now somewhat gone downhill. The service, whilst still friendly, is slow and the food is not so good anymore. US$ 33 for a breakfast is extortionate. The rooms are still OK, as are the pool and the gym. The internet speed is mostly miserable. Don't even... More

We arrived at a ridiculously early hour of the morning, just after sunrise, and we were welcomed with smiles and immediately shown to our ground-floor room that looked onto the beautiful, shady garden courtyard. The accommodations were excellent: crisp, smooth sheets on a comfortable king-sized bed; high-quality toiletries in the prettiest hotel bathroom I've ever seen, although it was on... More

Walking in the majestic doors of the Fairmont in Nairobi is like stepping back into the Colonial era. Passing through the strict security provides a sense of comfort and security in the midst of a fairly chaotic city. The elegant lobby and shade of the serene garden court are perfect for a midday lunch or evening cocktails. The rooms are... More

As a Fairmont this hotel is fairly average. Having said that, in the context of Nairobi, this is a very high end hotel. Pool and spa services are good as well. Tatu restaurant is top notch as well. More

At the end of a safari into the Kenyan Rift Valley I made a wise choice to stay at the Norfolk, a guarantee for a successful conclusion of my trip. Some of the older 'wazees' still recognized me and the reception was equally alert to my return, giving me the 'Abraham Block' suite, which instantly brought back many memories of... More
