We stayed here just before starting an Overland Truck Tour, based in central Nairobi (which we were told could still be dangerous at times). However we felt safe as it was situated behind a perimeter wall with security guards at the gated entrance. The Hotel was pretty mundane, our room and bathroom were clean but the decor looked tired. The... more

This facility should not be called a HOTEL as it does not even come close. the building is quite old but the Staff was great!. I arrived Sept 27 2007 for a 1 night stay. They sent a taxi cab to pick me up at the airport which was good ..(The cab fair is separate from the room price) The... more

My wife and myself checked into the Hotel Bouvelard on 8/24/2007 and checked out on 9/1/2007. The room was small, but clean. No air conditioners in any of the rooms, but the temperature was acceptable at all times. The hotel was well guarded and patrolled at all times. All the employees were very friendly and courteous at all times. Luggage... more

I was looking for a budget hotel for a night's stay in Nairobi and found this to be reasonable. The rooms are clean and the bathrooms big with hot and cold water. The only problem is that the rooms facing the main road are a bit noisy . Would recommend this place for a nights stop over... more

Situated on the edge of downtown Nairobi, not far from the much grander Norkfolk Hote, the Boulevard is a slightly run-down and faded place but reasonably clean and tidy. The tacky African tribal/safari decor in the corridors adds to its charm. There's a helpful tour desk, internet access, handy shop for everyday groceries and a surprisingly good (by Kenyan standards)... more

The hotel boulevard was clean and the bedrooms comfortable. The bathrooms are somewhat dated and, unless you got up really early, the showers cold. The food was absolutely fantastic. I felt very safe whilst staying at the hotel and there was a safety deposit box in each room. The hotel has a bureau de change and a taxi rank outside... more

We stayed at the Boulevard at the beginning & end of a 14 day overland safari. It's a popular spot for these trips with plenty of room for trucks to park & subsequently the overlanders make up a big proportion of the hotel guests. The hotel is somewhat worn at the edges with tired decor but in our experience was... more

This place is a dump. Old, dirty and in poor repair. There are phones and TV's that don't work. Even the staff can't fix them. The staff was nice and appologetic but of little help. There are no elevators and magically no staff when it comes time to haul your luggage up and down the two or three flights of... more

This hotel was the meeting point for out tour. I booked it for 3 nights. At the first day someone has stolen some money out of the closed safe in the room. I never got the report with the opening times as I was promised by the manager. The room especially the bathroom was dirty. There is a busy street... more

We stayed at the Hotel Boulevard at our first night in Kenya. It was the pre meeting place for our safari group. We thought that this hotel would be a great value. NOT AT ALL !!! The room was dirty and uncomfortable. There was a musty smell. The bathroom was terrible, no water pressure and also very dirty. The food... more
