The Crowne Plaza in Nairobi is a lovely hotel with very good service. It is in an area of town that is undergoing street and other urban repairs so getting there is somewhat disconcerting. Once you do arrive, however, you will be pleasantly surprised. The lobby and bar area is very nicely appointed and comfortable. The rooms are exceptionally comfortable... More

The hotel is ideally located near to the financial and business sectors. The service is good, inviting and generally prompt. Prices for food is a little high - more akin to 4* UK (£30-40 a head for dinner) than Kenyan restaurant (£10 a head). Rooms are clean and presentable. The pool is more of a feature to look at than...

I stayed at the Crown Plaza in mid February for one night during the week for business. Being centrally located in Nairobi's financial district (as opposed to town centre where the Interconti and some other hotels are) the Crown to me is the best hotel for business travellers whom location is important. Crown has all business facilities that one could... More

Going through the reviews looking for a hotel in Nairobi, there seemed to be issues with so many of the hotels. In these cases, we usually settle on a chain hoping for some consistent quality and also for secuity rasons - that is why we opted for the Crowne Plaza. We were "satisfied" though not impressed.
