Sarova Stanley Hotel Nairobi. Corner of Kenyatta Ave. and Kimathi St. Nairobi.

158 superior guestrooms are offered by the large, five-star rated Sarova Stanley Hotel. Today, after total refurbishment, Sarova Stanley has readopted its original name and much of its original character, with a spacious foyer furnished with leather upholstery, antique brass and wrought-iron fittings.

. Food is very good, staff are very helpful. Reception process in and out is very slow.

. The hotel is in a good location central to Nairobi. This means that it is safe and within walking distance of the bank, coffee shops. There is plenty to do in the hotel with a gym and a swimming pool. Ideal for the hotel weather. The staff are very pleasant and work hard to make the visit a pleasant one.

. The staff is very friendly and every expectation was well met. Food service was a bit slow, but this is Africa where we are all taught to learn the value of the moment. Food service is available 24hours and the quality was excellent.

. Excellent hotel with friendly staff. High class hotel that feels natural and not snobish.

. I have been visiting Nairobi for a number of years, and this was the first time staying at the New Sarova Stanley. No doubt the best value to date. Friendly and efficient staff from check in to departure, and spacious comfortable rooms and prompt room service. Situated in a vibrant, bustling location in the heart of the city, with easy access to numerous restaurants and bars. I would most definitely stay there again.

. We stayed for one night at the Sarova Stanley after a week in Mombassa - set in the smart banking district in the City. The hotel style is amazing, very colonial with lots of history and pictureseverywhere but still with a modern feel. We actually had the best nights sleep our entire trip here! The pool area is great should you have time to use it and the bar is very smart indeed. There is choice of resturants if you dont fancy going out although, there are some great places nearby which are very safe to walk to.

. The breakfast buffet is excellent, with a wide variety of foods available, from a traditional European "continental" style to a range of hot items and eggs cooked to order. This facility includes a large area for breakfast, a separate restaurants, bar, swimming pool, and health club. The rooms vary in size, but most are comfortable and spacious; the bathrooms are large with the usual features.

. The room was nothing special but nice and clean. The pool area was great and was heated at night so it makes for a great way to unwind after a flight. The gym was very well equipped and the spa was adequate except for the steamroom which smelt like a bunch of sumo wrestlers jockstraps. The inhouse restaurants were nice and the food was fresh and reasonable value.

The Stanley was chosen for its historical aspect. The hotel promotes and provides a complimentary historic hotel tour and we were delighted to discover that, although our flight was 3 hrs late out of the Mara Reserve, we could still enjoy this personalised tour at a time convenient to ourselves. The history and decor of the hotel is engaging; the rooms are large and extremely comfortable. And always pleased when hotels have pillow menus. However, disappointing to see mould in the bathroom and extra pillow delivered that was bloodstained under its pillow cover.
