Nairobi Hotels with balcony

I had a really enjoyable stay at the Swiss Lenana Mount Hotel and would happily return. From the moment I arrived, the staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. They really made an effort to help me settle in, which immediately set the tone for the stay. A standout moment for me was when the general manager personally came over to introduce himself and check that everything was going well — a small touch, but one that you don’t often experience and it made a big difference. The rooms were spacious, very clean, and clearly well maintained. It felt comfortable and relaxing throughout my stay. I also really appreciated the location. The area felt safe and pleasant to walk around, with some great places to eat nearby. While I usually stay in Westlands when I visit Nairobi, this was a refreshing change. You’re still only about a 10-minute Uber ride from Westlands and other key areas, but far enough out to enjoy quieter evenings and avoid the heavy traffic. Overall, this was an excellent experience — great location, great people, and a genuinely comfortable stay. Highly recommended.

+ Clean rooms, welcoming and very pleasant staff, nice hotel. - Breakfast was quite expensive, one of our bathrooms (out of 3 rooms booked) only had a shower head and no hand-held shower, and my family found the beds quite firm. Personally, I found the bed comfortable but the sliding shower doors kept opening by themselves (water everywhere), and I also woke up with a rather stuffy nose.

It felt less like a hotel and more like staying in a room within an apartment. The owner, cleaning staff, and the breakfast area were all on the 6th floor. The breakfast menu varied slightly each day, offering dishes like fried rice, potatoes, and stir-fried vegetables. It would be smoother to check in via WhatsApp. When the toilet paper ran out or the Wi-Fi acted up, they responded quickly and fixed it after I contacted them on WhatsApp. Laundry was also free. However, the main room where the laundry was kept smelled of cigarettes, possibly because people smoked there. But since it was free, I didn't mind. I also received plenty of water.

The accomodation is absolutely top range and comfortable and the place has so much to offer. Unfortunately, it appears to be running on auto pilot or poor management. These are the things which really annoyed me: 1. Arriving at night, the signage is not well lit and we struggled to establish whether we had arrived at the right place, especially the security personnel at the gate were not being very helpful. They have never been given any training to help them understand that they are the first point of contact between guests and the residency. 2. We arrived on a ”Jazz Night” but, although I am a jazz lover, it should not be foreced upon everyone. The layout of the dining area is very poorly thought out. There was no maitre d'hotel or someone to direct us as to where we should go if we wanted to eat and not listen to music. Eventually we found someone to help us walk past the music area and squeeze past the tight space to go past th bar to the dining area. The whole layout is kind of back to front. The dining area should be more easily accessible and there needs to be a way to separate the main dining area without getting rid of the dining tables in the music area. 3. The dining area is exposed at the back and there was a strong could draught that night, because the rear part of the dining area is exposed to the elements.

What an amazing experience! Me and my wife have luckily travelled to many countries and stayed in a range of hotels and this was one of the most comfortable and welcome experiences. Our first time in Nairobi so we didn’t know too much about where to stay until we spoke to some people. They mentioned the area to be safe and also recommended this hotel as a great way to be comfortable in Nairobi. You have security in entrance and exit and they were super nice. All the staff in the hotel were accommodating and showed us around and had us alll the info we needed. We got breakfast included and stayed for 3 nights. The breakfast was exactly what we needed. You have a range of foods to choose from and I’m sure you’ll find something you like! The food at the hotel is halal which is great for us too. Our room was cleaned and refilled every day and they were respectful and details in their service. We also used the gym which was super great. Enough for you to get a good workout in too. The location is next to Sarit Centre, perfect to access the Masai Market (on specific days) and also shops of all kinds. Big thank you to the team and everyone involved! Will definitely choose this hotel if I’m ever in Nairobi and also one I’d recommend to friends and family.

The hotel is an old colonial house and well maintained. The location is a little far from the restaurants and city center. A Carrefour is within walking distance. Breakfast and pool are great. Highly recommended for budget travelers

I stayed at this camp expecting an adventurous experience, but it did not quite meet my expectations. The price was very high for what you get—essentially just a tent with a toilet quite far away (try walking at 3 am under umbrella to the toilet with +14C🫩). While the adventure aspect is there, it felt like overpaying, especially considering the costs for similar accommodations in this country. On the positive side, the bed was really comfortable, and the tent was cozy, which made for a good night’s sleep. The territory of the camp was nice, and breakfast was excellent, adding some value to the stay. Overall, I have mixed feelings. I liked some parts of the experience, mainly the cozy sleep and the breakfast, but I would not come back or pay this amount of money again. For the price, it is not worth it in this destination. PS shout out to the staff, they are fantastic and very nice

Nice location. Nice Big Rooms. Room service is a bit delayed always. They shall have a little more options for vegetarian breakfast. One thing that’s really disturbing to see in a hotel like this, even if you are waiting for your checkin at the hotel and you ask for water, they charge for it.

The environment is very good, if only some wild animals are raised. Breakfast is good, set breakfast and dinner, barbecue for one night to watch the show, European dinner for one night. Both are pretty good. At noon, it will be resolved next to the shopping mall. Not too many guests, suitable for vacation.

We had a great stay at this lovely apartment near Yaya Centre. It was clean, well-equipped with a kitchen, washing machine, hairdryer, and had strong Wi-Fi. The location is safe and convenient, close to malls, markets, and easy to get around with public transportation. The owner was super friendly and gave clear check-in instructions. Security was excellent and the guards were always welcoming. A perfect place for foreign tourists…. highly recommended!
