Property is very traditional, some would say dated. It was clean and comfortable. Bed was a little hard for my liking. Staff and service as good. Centrally located, many shops and market for souvenirs just outside. Lastly, food is pricy but good.

The staff is helpful, courteous; and always has time to chat, help, laugh, give advice about the city, or anything else. They took care of us in a way I’ve never experienced before. Never!!

We stayed for 7 days at the hotel and found the staff incredibly friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Steve was AMAZING and helped us sort out all our day trips and safari. Whilst organising our trips, he would teach us on Kenyan history, which was fascinating. A few other members of staff that stood out were George, Paul and Beatrice. I highly recommend visiting Nairobi and definitely stay at The Savora Stanley.
