We stayed at this hotel on Christmas Day after a 6 week tour of Africa as we were travelling back to the UK the next day. On checking in we asked for an early morning call and to book a taxi. The next day no morning call and we woke up late nearly missing our flight. I phoned to complain,... more

We stayed here for 2 nights in December and had a pleasant experience. The rooms are nice with all the necessary amenities, the staff is friendly and location is good. Food at the outdoor cafe is below average and service mediocre. Overall, a good place for an over-niter. more

Hotel rooms are quite large and nicely renovated. Food in the in-house restaurant (Thai-Chi) and room service is very good. Staff extremely friendly and helpfull. Bar is a bit dead, but cheaper than the Hilton. Even though I was on the 6th floor I had significant bar noise over weekends which wasn't very nice at all. Central, in fact there... more

Stayed 4 nights in a Club Double room. These are recently renovated rooms and nicely finished, although the bathroom is a little small. There is space to make it bigger, pity they didn't take the opportunity of the recent renovations to do so. But even so, the room is very fine: large, beautiful bed, TV and all the other stuff... more

We spent one night at the Stanley before our safari and then had 2 rooms as day rooms after . Lovely hotel with great atmosphere in the bar with local people who were very friendly. Helpful and friendly staff in reception and the pool area is very relaxed with great lunch menu. Would return. more

We chose this hotel on a recommendation. With an early morning flight to London, we needed an airport hotel, which doesn't exist. The Stanley is about 10 miles from the airport which took an hour and a half in the evening rush-hour! Terrible traffic. At 6am the next morning, it took less than 15 minutes - so time your arrival... more

Fairly good example of a refurbished colonial-era hotel. Pleasant outdoor cafe, guarded of course, and comfortable rooms. Good breakfast. Definitely much nicer to stay at than the Grand Regency in Nairobi. I'd rate it a three- to four-star by American standards. As one might expect it's rather expensive, though not outrageously so except when it comes to discretionary items such... more

We booked the Stanley for an overnight after our Safari and found it a great place to stay. The room was large, clean and very well appointed. The hotel location is downtown with easy acess to shopping and a few minutes walk from the Hilton, if you fancy trying their resurant, which we tried. We found the Thorn Tree resturant... more

We arrrived at this hotel after 24 hours of travelling. Tired!! They had our rooms ready for us and the rooms were very nice, like an old time hotel should be. clean, dark wood, good beds and water pressure. Only complaint would be that they really don't advise you to leave the hotel. Safety is an issue and since they... more

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
