At Nairobi Serena Hotel, reviewers consistently praise the friendly, attentive service, clean and well-kept facilities, and a relaxing pool and spa, describing a classic, centrally located property that feels like an oasis near busy downtown Nairobi.
Rooms are comfortable and well maintained, though a few note smaller sizes and occasional noise from renovation or nearby events. Breakfast and other dining earn frequent praise, but some guests mention slow service, pricey drinks, limited late-night availability, or inconsistent dishes including one report of illness after seafood. Overall, it suits travelers seeking reliable comfort, strong service, and robust on-site amenities.

Lovely property, excellent art, and design of the building and common areas. Loved the bar and the band. Fabulous pool! This felt like a classic Nairobi style hotel rather than a boring modern western hotel. Stayed for 5 nights and it was truejy a memorable hotel! Hope to stay again.

During my 11-day stay, I observed this hotel operating at a world-class level in all ways, every day. Its 5-Star rating is well deserved. At times, I felt like I was staying within an oasis inside busy downtown Nairobi. It has more of a resort vibe because I didn’t have to leave for virtually anything due to the sheer number of amenities and other services offered onsite. Thank you to all of those staff members who made my stay so enjoyable and memorable. They are truly an elite group, from housekeeping to the restaurant. I will definitely be returning on future visits to Kenya.

I was very pleased with my stay at Serena Nairobi. As a solo female traveler, I took advantage of paying for an airport transfer the evening I arrived. The front desk staff was friendly and efficient. I got room service at like 1am that evening, too, and the attendant was kind as well. The property is gated and I felt very safe within. I had a spa treatment after a long day visiting the Nairobi National Park and I wasn't disappointed. I tried out the pool, jacuzzi, sauna, and steam room as well. All were nice and clean. The spa staff were very attentive. The lobby was large but welcoming with different sitting spots. The outdoor space was nice as well. I only spent two nights but the room was thoughtfully laid out with wall cabinets, mini fridge, clean bathroom, and a very comfortable bed. I wasn't able to eat at the restaurants, just have some afternoon tea in the private lounge for hotel guests. Overall, I recommend the hotel and I hope to be able to stay for longer in the future.

It was a wonderful stay. The staff were super friendly and professional, including the concierge folks and housekeeping. Notably, Joshua, Mary and Miriam, in the dining room room and John were amazing. Our room was rather small, but still very comfortable and clean. We really enjoyed the spa treatment as well and the dining breakfast options were amazing and I appreciate it that they had vegan options for myself. We will definitely come back for future trip trips.

This was my second visit to Nairobi Serena Hotel in less than a year. It is conveniently located, has a good selection of hot and cold options for breakfast and the room is well equipped. Our only quibble was when we tried to order room service after checking-in to the hotel late in the evening, a number of items on the menu was not available.

The pool was heated and perfect, lots of outdoor dining. The breakfast buffet was excellent, the ala carte restaurants were fair, my husband was sick after eating prawns at the main dining room. Lacked space to walk outside safely. Too close to downtown but more suited for business travel.

It was a wonderful stay. The staff were super friendly and professional, including the concierge folks and housekeeping. Notably, Joshua, Mary and Miriam, in the dining room room and John were amazing. Our room was rather small, but still very comfortable and clean. We really enjoyed the spa treatment as well and the dining breakfast options were amazing and I appreciate it that they had vegan options for myself. We will definitely come back for future trip trips.

This was my second visit to Nairobi Serena Hotel in less than a year. It is conveniently located, has a good selection of hot and cold options for breakfast and the room is well equipped. Our only quibble was when we tried to order room service after checking-in to the hotel late in the evening, a number of items on the menu was not available.

This is a really nice hotel. About the only drawback is that the breakfast is $35 a person so get it included with your room. The staff is excellent and will help you in any way they can. The rooms are extremely nice and everything is complementary in the room. The showers are spacious, which is fun.
