10/10 Exceptional

We had an excellent trip to Nairobi. After our safaris we stayed at the Sarova a Stanley for 4 nights.Peter at the front desk was very helpful and Sam the driver he recommended to take us around was very knowledgeable and pleasant to deal with. Sam was able to take us wherever we needed to go and often made very good suggestions.

EXCELLENT
I love staying at the New Stanley Hotel, this is my 10th time over there and it’s always the same. Everybody is friendly from the security to the house keeper. I paid for a regular room and they gave me a suite on the 7th floor for the same price. Their breakfast buffet is the best with variety of food and fresh juices and fruits. I will go there again and again.

8/10 Very good

Staff were helpful and nice. Share the history of the hotel, it felt like a privilege to stay there. I thought they overdue it with security measures. I someone visit me and my husband and the wouldn’t let them in the room because she had forgotten her ID. Even though I confirmed I knew her.
