On the strength of its Tripadvisor ratings, I booked a Business Class Twin room at the Fairview, only to find on arrival that the second 'bed' was a foldaway sofa. Nowhere is this mentioned on the hotel website or in the reservation confirmation material, and I wouldn't have booked here knowing this, as I find such an arrangement to be... More

Much have been written and even discussed about this hotel...but only one thing i would say is "FANTASTIC". After our 4 days safari to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru with sunset africa safaris,we only needed a special treat and Fair View had all these. Thanks to the Staff and the Management for the best services. We shall be back soon More

I arrived late evening into the chaotic Jomo Kenyatta International Airport after a long flight and caught a taxi to the Fairview. Into the rather spartan Economy room after enjoying a Tusker beer at the poolside bar. Pleasant and quiet sleep.

Absolutely first class. Set on a hilltop in beautiful gardens, Nairobi’s two airports and downtown are all within easy reach. Excellent staff, spacious rooms with wifi free and fast.

Stayed here at this wonderful property on 25th january prior to our 8 day safari tour and it was amazing. It was good to come to a property after a long flight that just has alot of greenery and comfort. Food was great, breakfast was amazing, what a spread! There was free internet connection and we could always stay tune... More

I have stayed at the Fairview on each of my six trips to Kenya over the past 9 years and it has only gotten better and better in my opinion. The security has been increased, the landscaping helps you feel like you're in a country oasis, the service is excellent, the food very good. I really enjoyed the outside patio... More

Cannot recommend this hotel high enough if you are planning on staying in Nairobi on business. Only problem is it gets fully booked quite quickly as its reputation has been there for years and it's well know as a good hotel. More
