From the airport transfer to check-in and the daily interaction with the staff, the Fairview is a delight. It’s a peaceful refuge in the middle of Nairobi. My room was pleasant and comfortable. No complaints.

I have stayed at this property for over 30 years due to frequent travel for work. The consistency of the remarkable service, the comfort, the food/room/amenity qualities are remarkable. However, always the best is the attention to detail that the staff supplies to promote exceptional service. This may be my favorite hotel anywhere.

Lovely hotel.
We always enjoy staying at the Fairview. Cost plus fees is our deterrent. There are lots of fees that can add $100 USD to a weekend stay. Staff are great. Loyalty week provided tasty treats. Very nice.

Favorite Nairobi Hotel
Made last-minute reservations due to program change. So happy the hotel had space for us. They combined the last-minute and our later reservation. Here for 5 days. Great (favorite) breakfast buffet. Restaurants offer wide variety of options. Front desk clerks very helpful. Gorgeous gardens.

We stayed at the Fairview Hotel two separate times during a safari trip to Kenya. Other than the airport, this was our first introduction to Kenyan hospitality, and it was outstanding. We've been to many hotels in the USA, Mexico and Europe and the service here at the Fairview sits easily in the top 3 of anywhere we have stayed. The hotel felt very safe with a strong security staff to provide that feeling. The grounds are very well kept and a pleasure to walk around in, which is nice due to us being told that the neighborhood is not a particularly safe one. The hotel itself is very stylish and comfortable with a nice pool and pool area. The restaurants provided very good food and drink. Upon our landing in Nairobi, our airline lost our luggage, and the Fairview reception staff was SO incredibly awesome in helping us work with the airline to get them found and delivered to us at the hotel. They might be the most helpful, friendly and respectful reception staff we have ever encountered. In addition, this hotel was very competitively priced; we've stayed in much worse places for a lot more money. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Nairobi for any type of trip. It was about a half hour distance from the main airport and was very close to Wilson Airport (for flights to Masai Mara) The hotel will send a hotel-based taxi to pick you up or deliver you to either airport for a small fee. This felt much safer than just picking a taxi from outside.

This is a very old and we had hoped charming hotel in the centre of town. Our "VIP" room was clean but very bare and functional, probably fine for business users but indulgent or luxurious. I have scored it average for most things as we found it extremely expensive for what we had and the standard of the hotel. The reception staff were not helpful and a bit abrupt, the only good member of staff was Brian at the pool bar.
