Convenient location for the airport, not the prettiest of hotels but the facilities are good. Beds were comfortable, rooms clean & coffee/tea facilities provided. Made use of the rooftop pool which overlooks the national park & the gym. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly and the food was good, lots of options to suit most palates. I would certainly stay here again.

Check the pool is open before booking. I booked this property based on the images of the pool (rather than somewhere cheaper) but when I arrived I was told the pool was closed for refurbishment. Staff lovely and hotel is fine but even after I had informed Expedia of pool closure they are still advertising it with a big image of the pool.

It was a great hotel to be in with a 22 hour layover It was nice having the restaurant there and open 24/7 since we arrived late. We were able to get food and drinks and relax before going to bed.

We just needed a hotel for a full day wait between arriving from Zanzibar and departing for Europe. This was the ideal option. We paid the full night rate, but the hotel gave us early check in. We rested, had a good buffet lunch, had a swim and a shower before heading back to the airport for our 2315 departure. The shuttle was efficient but you needed to book.

The hotel excels at airport transfers. We stayed a night twice, gave flight arrival details as part of booking and were promptly met by the transfer van. The return transfer could be arranged for exactly the time we needed, too. AC can be hit and miss (it does off at night when power is interrupted, which happens occasionally) and Nairobi is not a relaxing place.

The airport transfer worked efficiently and easily, even when my flight was 4 hrs late. Felt really safe as a female solo traveller - access to floors via room key, deadlock on door, view hole. Only stayed over in long layover and was perfect for this.

I requested a wake up call twice for the next morning because I had an early flight and never got it, also the bed had dirty sheets. The next day I move to the hotel across the street better prices bigger and better buffet clean rooms, big difference. I have used Hilton hotels for a long time but this one time was very disappointed. And other disappointing thing was that I arrived one day before my reservation time and had to pay way more than what I was paying for my reservation. Why couldn’t they honor the same price? Knowing that I’m spending few nights there. Hilton, don’t forget there is a lot of competition out there!

The hotel in most respects is good apart from one issue which ruined our stay. We checked in early costing 50% pre-agreed additional charge although was not permitted entry until 0900 (eventually 0800 by request). We ventured out quickly, returning to the hotel at about 1330. The A/C did not work. I reported it and an engineer checked it out in room and said it will now work. After several hours it was clear that it was not working correctly, another visit by the engineer who said it was working OK. We suffered a sleepless night with the A/C not dropping below 23C. The next day (19 November 23) I insisted that it was still not working and eventually late afternoon we were visited by another technician who confirmed that the A/C was faulty, hence not adjusting to the set temperature but that now it was fixed. On checking out I requested a discount for the sleepless previous night. I was offered 10%, eventually grudgingly increased to about US$20 and a sincere apology for the malfunctioning A/C on our first night which was sleepless through the heat in the room (23c) and when the failure was persistently reported and a fault denied until the engineer owned up the next day. Shame on you Hilton !

Currently staying here and I ordered room service after a late flight and have a 4:30am transfer back to the airport. I get two calls from the restaurant at 12:10am and 12:20am asking me to set up an account so they can charge my KSH1600 (USD12) bill. Most hotels you pay on check out! Hotel staff need training to understand what is an acceptable time to ring residents, certainly not 12:20am when people are fast asleep!!! Shuttle also took forever to leave which meant a delayed flight resulted in a super late night. Certainly was a poorer service than the time I stayed before. This is my second time staying here and safe to say I won’t be returning. Puts Hilton to shame and certainly will be raising this will Hilton chain.

At this price expected bathrobes in the room, which were not provided, and expected good quality towels, as opposed to the very thin ones provided. The shuttle to the airport was a small van that barely fit all the luggage from everyone. At check-in at 3:20pm our room was not ready and had to insist that they give us another because we could not wait.

I like a lot of things about this hotel, but I feel the restaurant is poorly managed. My past interactions with the restaurant have been minimal, but now that I stayed two full days, I got frustrated with the service too often. Out of 3 big meals, in 2 of them it took them more than 45 minutes to bring the food. The worst thing is that they promise to be fast (just 20 mins sir), but they can’t deliver. Even ordering a beer took like 15 mins. They seem to have enough people, but not well organized. I also had billing issues that took more of my time to resolve because they couldn’t decide whether I could sign the bill and pay at check out, or I had to pay immediately with my credit card. I didn’t really care, but unfortunately got involved in their disorder.
