Best hotel I've stayed in in Nairobi
Incredible staff - polite, helpful and courteous. Gym is great for a hotel gym - with sauna and steam room. Food is decent in the hotel - and breakfast has an extensive selection. Definitely best hotel I've stayed in in Nairobi - well worth it!

The newly renovated rooms are beautiful and the wifi is super fast. All of the staff, from the front desk to the bell and concierge staff are excellent. Downside: restaurant staffing seemed a bit chaotic at times, making ordering and receiving the meal slow, and refreshing cups of coffee.

Great hotel! Very friendly staff and catered to all our needs. Room was very clean and beds were super comfortable. The restaurant at the hotel had a lot of options and all were good. Breakfast buffet was one of the biggest we had with lots of great options. Great stay!

Everything you could want (but food is expensive!)
Sarova Panafric was an absolutely beautiful place to stay for a workshop, and the location in town is unbeatable. While the hotel is super nice and you will not want for anything, you'll certainly pay for it. How many raviolis do you think you get for $23 on the room servive menu? The answer is 3! Yikes! Similar situation with simple chicken wings. Other than food prices and portion sizes though, I have no complaints and loved this hotel otherwise.
