I stayed at the Nairobi Serena Hotel booked by my safari company. The room my wife and I got was a very spacious suite. The hotel is rather secluded with a cool atmosphere. The rooms are great with beautiful decor, spacious and well kept. The service is very wonderful with very helpful staff. Food was excellent and very delicious. Spent... more

Again I find it very interesting that this hotel is a Leading Hotel of the World. Perhaps they have dropped their standards. My 2 nights at the Nairobi Serena was average. For a hotel that you need to spend a small amount of time at - this is the place. As we were transitting to and from our Safari and... more

I had to make a quick trip to Nairobi and was unable to secure a reservation in any other hotel in Nairobi. Having had a negative experience at the Serena in June this year, I was very hesitant, but had no choice and decide to give it a try all the same. Nothing has changed in my opinion. The staff... more

I have stayed at this hotel for over 100 days, spread over about 1.5 years, all on business. It is clearly seen as one of the 'places to stay' and is now dominated by large tourist groups. It probably works for them as it looks good, has some music in the bar, and a decent buffet. However, once you go... more

Stayed here 1 night and paid £98 for a double bed & breakfast. The public areas look good and the resaurant is good. Breakfast was excellent and reception were very helpful but the pool water was slightly misty and the bedroom bathroom needed a good scrub. It's the type of place that's ok to stay for one night. Would I... more
