Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Dated in places — While recent renovations were noted, some rooms are compact and the hotel shows its age in certain areas.
- Night club on site — Live entertainment and a night club could mean some noise, especially for light sleepers.
- Pets not allowed — If you travel with a pet, this hotel isn't an option, despite one review mentioning dogs – that appears to be an exceptional case.
- No air conditioning listed — Rooms come with fans or natural ventilation; if you need AC, this may not be the place.

8Verified guest“Breakfast was above average with lots of choice. The room was compact and practical, with a safe, a TV with many channels, and a mini fridge-bar. The location was ideal, close to the airport and very near Privee Westlands. It's right in Nairobi with lovely gardens, a great pool, and a pleasant outdoor bar. Nearby pubs and casinos were a bonus.”
