This hotel is a class act all the way, from the hotel décor and classic façade right through to the good old fashioned service delivered from every staff member. From the outside, it doesn’t display any hint of the tradition steeped inside. Once you walk through the doors, you will be confronted with a lobby maintaining its old colonial charm.... more

There is nothing to complain about the hotel, the rooms and the service. It is a hotel with a great history that unlike so many other "Grand Hotels" has been continuously upgraded and kept in mint condition. We ended up in the Stanleys by accident, since our original hotel was overbooked. We occupied two wonderful and very spacious rooms. The... more

Having traveled to Kenya on many occasions we decided for once to have a bit of luxury before heading out into the bush for 10 days. Although the hotel was clean and presentable and the food good the beds left a lot to be desired .sleeping on rocks would have been more comfortable ,it was so bad that we cancelled... more

I can't even tell you how much I love the Stanley. I have always stayed at the Stanley while I pass through Nairobi on my way to my base in the Taita Hills and Mombasa. I lived in one room of the Stanley for two months a few years back and acquired lasting friendships with many staff members. What makes... more

I went to Nairobi for a business trip. This hotel was booked by our local distributor there. The hotel was clean and spacious, but not luxurious. The most negative point is that the windows in the rooms cannot be opened, and no ventilation is provided in the rooms and hallways. The a/c system works perfectly although a bit noisy. The... more

There is a security guard on each floor. The restuarant was nice. It was in a good location to walk around the city and shop.... more

We booked The Stanley for a relaxing weekend after a safari and were pleased to make use of the gym and spa. The staff were extremely friendly, welcoming and helpful, from the concierges who made sure we, and our possessions, were safe, to the guards on every floor as we climbed the stairs in our effort to work off some... more

We came to this hotel as the first part of our safari and were greeted warmly by the staff. We came in at 4:00am in the morning and we were surprised to have a beautiful room already made up for us. As you can imagine, at 4am after a long flight this was heavenly! All the staff were really friendly,... more

Writing a good and balanced review is not easy when you have to give an overall rate. I give it 5 stars bc it is an excellent place, despite some shortcomings to be described below. First, I found an amazing rate of 127, ex taxes (160 in total or so), on "obits". Normally the rate is much higher, and since... more
