"Characterless hotel useful for airport"

2 nights Arrived 6 Feb 2019
"This hotel was perfectly adequate for our needs but suffers from absence of outdoor areas to relax or spend time in. Suitable for one night only when needing to be close to the airport.

Dreadful piped music in every conceivable area - lift, bars, corridors and at the pool

Staff helpful but front desk staff and concierge completely without any initiative" See all these reviews: 10n in Tanzania; 2n in Kenya

"Convenient airport hotel"

1 night Arrived 2 Feb 2019
"Very convenient for both the international and domestic airports.

It meant we were very quickly at our hotel after clearing the airport which was ideal as we took the BA day flight, so arrived late in Nairobi. We then left early the following morning after breakfast.

We returned to the hotel for dinner on our final evening and took the shuttle bus to the airport." See all these reviews: 7n in Kenya

"Crowne Plaza Nairobi airport"

1 night Arrived 2 Feb 2019
"Very convenient and comfortable for a brief overnight stay before heading off on safari. Breakfast was very nice and the staff helpful and friendly.

We were expecting to have to look for the Crowne Plaza rep and vehicle ourselves when we came out of the arrivals hall at JKIA, but Douglas actually met us and whistled up a Crowne Plaza car for us - which was of course fine, though I am not sure if this was how it was supposed to work.

The only real issue we had was being assigned a room with a connecting door to the neighbouring room, which was a bit disconcerting. Fortunately the second door was safely locked and as we arrived late we did not query it with Reception. Perhaps all the rooms are like this but if not we would definitely request a room without this feature in future." See all these reviews: 7n in Kenya

"Convenient and comfortable"

1 night Arrived 28 Jan 2019
"Having arrived at 10 pm, had a cup of coffee and gone to bed, and then having got up just in time to have breakfast before being picked up by Giraffe Manor, it's difficult to offer a considered assessment of the hotel.

However, the breakfast is very good and the location is excellent - it seems to be the perfect place for a stopover." See all these reviews: 12n in Kenya

"Great idea from Richard"

1 night Arrived 19 Jan 2019
"Because my niece was flying into JKIA at 4am to start our safari that morning, Richard suggested I move to this hotel at the airport to allow L. to have breakfast with me, a shower and brief nap, before setting out at 7am.

Perfect for the above reasons, and also somewhat comforting to my niece due to the very high level of security, especially in light of recent troubles in the business district in Nairobi. The hotel is new and very up-to-standard.

By the way, the buffet offered at dinner and breakfast is not to be missed." See all these reviews: 18n in Kenya
