"Aero Club of East Africa"
The bar is fine; the restaurant closed several months before so we walked to a nearby cafe, about a mile away, a bit scary but the food was very good!
One can't expect much for the accommodations but it is clearly conveniently located." See all these reviews: 10n in Kenya

It was however certainly in a very handy location for our flight from Wilson Airport the following morning, even though at ksh500 the car ride there was a bit more than we'd expected." See all these reviews: 10n in Kenya

"Our fourth stay at the Aero Club"
It's location close to Wilson airport is very convenient and as a place to both recover from the international flights into Nairobi and spend the night before flying out, it is ideal." See all these reviews: 6n in Kenya

It is a very short taxi ride to Wilson so very convenient.

I didn’t have breakfast the next morning, just coffee, but they were helpful and had pre-organised a driver to take me to the Safarilink departure "terminal" and it was reassuring to know that I didn’t have to worry about Nairobi traffic to get to my internal flight (every other person, guest etc I spoke to over the 3 days and overheard at various airports mentioned how bad the traffic is, how people miss flights because of it)" See all these reviews: 4n in Kenya

The rooms are not sound-proof and the linen could use an upgrade but everything was clean and tidy.
It's location within the boundary of Wilson Airport means it is a good stop to make early morning flights without having to worry about the horrendous Nairobi traffic jams. The front desk organised a taxi to pick us up early in the morning for the 5 minute drive to the terminal.
The staff at the front desk and in the bar and were friendly and efficient." See all these reviews: 10n in Kenya

The entire facility felt safe and secure. Breakfast at the restaurant was good and entertaining as we watched planes take off and land at the nearby airstrip. I would recommend a stopover at Aero Club, especially to aviation enthusiasts." See all these reviews: 6n in Kenya
