Very luxurious property. Well kept, spotless. Many nice restaurants, including delicious pizza. Good gym. The staff is what makes this hotel so excellent, they can’t do enough for you. In particular, Naomi at the front desk was amazing.

Steve

I had not intended to book the new wing of the Ole-Sereni hotel but it was fine, just slightly disappointing. It's typically business/conference oriented. The restaurant is on an upper level restoring the dining view across Nairobi National Park which was lost in the original hotel. Convenient for the airport and well-appointed if a little boring.

I had an amazing experience! The view of the national park, the service, hospitality, kindness, and cleanliness were exceptional. I really loved the spacious and serene environment within the city. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Nairobi, especially those coming from the West. Truly an unforgettable stay!”

Prives Like a international 5 Star Hotel but absolutely not living up to it. There is hardly a way to get out of the hotel. Half rotten pigeon was on the roof just outside of the swimming pool railing formte whole duration of my stay, Prices are just ridiculous high for Kenia. The manager should be fired. On the plus side the staff was very friendly. Not to helpful if you wanted something out of the box. Like leavin the hotel on your own. To dangerous or maybe they don’t want you to go out so you have to spent your money in the hotel. Location in fact was not particularly safe. Fist person I met outside the hotel advised me to not show my mobile. Only good for Business people who don’t care about paying ridiculous high prices. Not recommended for tourists.

The property is conveniently located between both airports, sits on the edge of Nairobi's National Park, has comfortable rooms with soft beds and a couple very nice restaurant/lounge areas, including a rooftop bar with expansive views and a nice vibe.
