Sentrim 680 Hotel - Nairobi

Overall, I was pleasantly surprised and impressed given the reviews I'd read. I was in Kenya the week of the elections and this hotel felt like home. The location was central to the business I was attending to. The staff was wonderful and provided excellent guest service, the food was absolutely fabulous -I had breakfast and loved all the fruits, meats […] and even the vegetarian dishes they provided at breakfast and I didn't need to eat outside (both African and Western fare was available at breakfast), I have never experienced this at any hotel. The room was clean, linens were superb, bed comfortable -my main criteria for judging a hotel - and they even provided free bottled water. They even have a sister hotel that has a pool and garden - an oasis in the city for those interested in getting rejuvenated in a quieter zone about a mile, mile and a half from the hotel. I was born in Nairobi and now this hotel will be my new home at home away from my residential home in the States. The head of guest relations, Annette, is a wonderful lady who makes sure that the guests are enjoying their stay and will go out of her way to ensure your comfort. I give this hotel a rating of 4 stars. Read more

Very good location and good price!

An older hotel in a central location. Nightclub noise goes on till 1am or so, but fatigue from 17 hours in the air took care of that! Everyone very friendly. The usual security at the entrance and on every floor. Room was clean. Enough English spoken by employees to get by. No fire evac plan posted on doors, so check that out before you crash for the […] night. Had some kind of air circulation unit in room but all it did was move air, not cool it. TV and safe in room. Breakfast not bad (came w/my room rate) but other meals at restaurant in hotel very expensive. Read more

low price.. in and out.. cab fare was $20 USD each ewas from the airport.. so if you can find a place closer to the airport for 40 dollars a night more, it is a wash.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Otherwise OK, but noise of opposite beegarden is horrible and daytime internet is erratic.

It's like being in a prison, where they let you leave your cell to go on work release during the day, but everytime you step foot on the property you being policed from front door to your room with police questioning you and your company, photocopying you and your companies documents, having to check-in and out, submit your door key everytime you leave […] there is a search, again it's like being on work release and living in a prison! No I would not reccommend this place to anyone! Read more

I thought that the Six Eighty was the worst hotel I had ever stayed in, but I went to India and stayed at the Savoy Suites. Now, I long for a SixEighty in Mumbai.

Couldn't pay for evening meal at hotel with credit card. Very primitive and noisy air-con unit in room. But the location was good.

Very pleasant, staff was polite and mannerly, Good Location, will certainly recommend this hotel

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

They did not send a driver to pick me up at the airport, as had been pre-arranged; the desk staff was uninterested but managed to process my arrival when I did get there; all other staff were VERY friendly and helpful. The night was not restful thanks to very noisy neighbours slamming doors and talking loudly through much of the night. Breakfast was […] elaborate and served in a pleasant room. I would pay for a quieter place in future. Read more

The reception were unfriendly, the security at the floor suspected that I had a minor and asked for the identity (I suppose because of prostitution in the vicinity). There was no tv remote control gadget in the room, only at request, no room service

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This is an "Adults" hotel, not for children. For those wishing for extras such as tea making facilities ,hairdryer etc then the hotel is not for you. On the other hand if you want friendliness, cleanliness,excellent staff and service then you are in the right place. As a base for exploring Nairobi and outlying ares then this hotel is ideal. It is certainly […] value for money. Read more

The stay was very good, the hotel staff was excellent and very help full. the hotel was kept very neat and tidy.

Great location in the heart of downtown Nairobi. Showing age, but clean and good service. Free breakfast is not great, but enough to get you going for the day. There is a restaurant across the street from the entrance. It has good local food, but a very loud band at night. Be sure to get an "inside" room on one of the higher levels (it has 10 floors). […] The portable air conditioners are inadequate. Price is reasonable through Hotels.com. I would stay there again when visiting Nairobi Read more

After returning a car to Central Car Hire on the ground floor of the hotel we checked in here for an overnight stay. Very practical and centrally situated. Quick and friendly check-in and check-out. A clean room of good standard. Good wifi. The hotel was much better than we expected after having read other surveys, probably because we got a room on […] "the quiet side" (there is a noicy night club opposite the reception). Read more

central location makes it very easy to go shopping, eating out and enjoy of nightlife. beeing next to Kenyatta Avenue, which is one of the main roads of Nairobi, there is easy access out from the city.

Stay ok but a bit expensive

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

It was very overpriced by Canadian standards. Hotel front desk staff were friendly, but also shy and unhelpful, only answering the questions asked. We felt sorry for the staff who seemed underpaid and overworked (long hours). The worst part was finding windows open on our arrival and we got bitten by LOTS of mosquitoes. The breakfast buffet was great […] and staff were very nice. Read more

Upon my return from a tour to another country, after staying for several days in 680 hotel in Nairabi, I showed my passport to identify myself as a client who was there before and has booked for the 28th, I was shocked to be told that I have no booking at all.Because I was tired after 12 hrs of flight, checking in two ports,etc. I requested the staff […] to let my baggage in, ckeck her records, allow me to have shower and if no booking as she claims I will pay cash.This staff,seem to be temporary staff to cover x-mass holiday, refused and asked me to get the voucher. I told her that I can show her in my internet. She again said you can't print from here, go out side the next street and bring a print. Imagine 6.00 PM in Nairobi, to go out side with your hand bag on your shoulder !!!!!. I was really frustrated but anyhow went and brought the required print.Now the question is how could this rude, untrained staff left to work at this period of time. How couldn't she find my name??? Whose mistake was that my name was not shown in the record. Anyhow, the next day I spoke to customers representative( Mrs Annette) and explained the whole story. I showed to her that I am not intending to take deciplinary action but to train her on how to deal with customers. Read more

I have been staying at this hotel for many years but never again. The hotel reception is the worst I have come across. There's no welcome hello, no can I help you, no smiles, cant even bother to stand up to greet clients The porters and security staff are great. I would NOT recommend this hotel to any one

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I found Sixty Eight Hotel over priced for what you got. You had to pay a deposit to get a TV remote, but there was no sign in the room or better still at reception to tell you that. The phone in the room didn't work. However the room was clean and the hotel was very central but I wouldn't stay there again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Very conviently located and if you kmake sure you get room toward back of hotel facing Kenyatta Ave to escape late night music say roomms *00 - *10. Casino will exchange of $, £, € cash for shillings at competative rate at all times of the day. Very nice coffee-tea shop in back street round the corner in Kaunda Street, turn right out of hotel and […] street second left - cafe called Cup I think. Good cakes and food. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

Stayed one night in August 2011. Very basic hotel room which is located in the heart of city. However very over priced as we paid 80 Euro per night. they do not even give you a remote control for the tv and ask for deposit which was annoying. there's a casino in lower levels and therefore always crowded.

Does even have hot water or pot for coffee and cable tv inside the room.

I am not satisfied with this Hotel even if it is in a great location. No AIR-CONDITION in rooms! Friday we didn't have electricity for 2-3 hours. Saturday the same! You have to buy you internet access, and it is expire in 24 hours even if you didn't use the time you buy!! They even have 24hours access to buy! that means you need to be connected ALL […] the 24 hours! Breakfast buffet - poor. Service - poor! I was waiting for 15 minutes for the elevator to come! Elevators doesn't work properly! I don't recommend this hotel even if you just need it for 1-2 nights to sleep. Read more

This hotel is worthwhile only if looking to save money while staying in a central location. It is a an unfriendly place with unsmiling reception staff and a slightly threatening air with the ground floor casino and rough downtown neighbourhood. My first night the fan did not work so it was unbearably hot and stuffy in the room. In the morning there […] was no hot water. It appears the hot water is turned on at about 6.30 a.m. so hard luck to anyone who gets up before then. Read more

With the new owners, this plave is much better again, in my room, the bathroom was brand new and at a good standard. It's a bit noisy,but in the absolute center of Nairobi with everything around you need.

Price / value of this hotel is not good, you 'll be able to find better deals

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hotel is ok and has a really good central location. The hotel as such is dated (looks as if it from the sixties) but despite this it provides a clean and comfortable place to stay in the middle of town. Food whilst not al carte is good with good size portions. Disco from the place opposite was loud on the friday night. The staff are ok but Charles one […] of the poters is outstanding and cannot do enough to help. would have no hesitaion (apart from the music on Fri) in recomending this Hotel Read more

　３泊致しましたが、料金も手頃で朝食付きというところが評価できます。エアコンの設備はありませんが、高地におけるナイロビの気候も手伝って、窓を開けていれば就寝時も比較的快適に過ごせました。気ままな個人旅行には向いています。

I forhold til pris, beliggenhet og total opplevelse er dette et godt alternativ. Har også bodd på dyrere steder - men forskjellen er ikke så stor at prisen forsvares. Vær obs på at hotellet legger på 5% dersom det betales med kort.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Very good location in city center. Rooms are OK, shower and toilet were functional. Security was OK, you are checked a few times on your to your room. No aircon, just a fan. There is a very popular bar on the oppositite side of the street and most evenings they even have a live band making a lot of noise. Breakfast was more of a continental type. Staff […] did they job, but were not overly excited... A smile was not in their service portfolio yet. Good restaurants (e.g. Trattoria) in the neighborhood. Read more

Grei service, men hotellet ser ut til å være noen år gammelt. Vakter i hver etasje. Frokostbuffeten var under gjennomsnittet. Hotellet ligger sentralt, ut til Kenyatta avenue. Det er et hyggelig øltelt over gata. Rommet var rent og pent. Jeg kommer ikke til å bo sentralt neste gang. Trafikken i Nairobi sentrum er for uforutsigbar og treg. Internett […] virket, men var litt komplisert og avbrutt av strømbrudd. Read more

Ich hatte Zimmer 425 zur Kenyatta-Avenue, es war sehr laut auch in der Nacht sehr unruhig durch einen nahegelegenen Club/Disco. Für Tropen braucht man eine richtige Klimaanlage, das Standgerät war untauglich. Im Hotelrestaurant unzählige lästige freischaffende Damen, die einen stören. Kein richtiger Kaffee zum Frühstück, das Frühstück eher rudimentär. Das […] Personal war eher reserviert und fixiert auf die Geldbörse. Read more

situé en centre ville, c'est idéal. Par contre passer deux nuits pourtant au 4ème étage avec casino, discothèque, les alarmes des voitures et les prostituées qui crient toute la nuit..., passer votre chemin si vous êtes insomniaque! Par contre, préférer le SAROVA STANLEY, top niveau à 500 Mètres de là . C'est sûr, c'est pas le même prix, mais...
