8/10 Very good

Great hotel for an overnight stay in Nairobi. Sadly the pool wasn’t open while we were there and that was one of the reasons we chose it. There was a mix up of rooms and it was sorted quickly without fuss. Food was good and service in restaurants great. My only quibble is when we asked for a breakfast box at reception (as we were leaving early the next morning) we were told to speak to the chef at the restaurant. We did, we asked for sandwiches. Next morning nothing was there. When we asked they said we could ask the chef again. When we did, we were told that we had to pay to have a breakfast box…. Lots of miscommunication and we ended up just making our own sandwich from the buffet (it was open at 5.45). Overall we would stay here again.

The pool is heated, and property safe/clean/lovely. The staff is great, and there are good vegetarian options in the restaurant. We appreciated being able to get a late checkout, and storing luggage while we went on safari. We would stay there again!

Pleasant stay at the Heron Hotel

Nice hotel, clean room. Good value for the price. The food was good. Great location, close to the city center. I stayed at the Heron for 11 days. I got to know some of the staff. Alex and Bob at reception were very kind, welcoming and helpful. The dinning/cafe staff, Daniel, Alex, Emily, Felix and Bashasha were courteous and friendly and great customers service. I would definitely stay at the Heron again.

Good and friendly

Heron Court is scoring high on friendliness and good service. Convenient location in quiet area, - and still within short walking distance from city center (CBD). Breakfast simple but sufficient, the cafeteria is pleasant, .. Cons: The bed was on harder side for me, and except for early in morning "hot" water in shower was luke warm (at best). All-in-all: Heron Court remains my "home away from home" in Nairobi.
