Lock in a great price for Sarova Stanley – rated 8.3 by recent guests!

to get started.

The hotel whilst it has all the modern facilities has retained a lot of its originame character. The staff were extremely polite and helpful.

Michael, United Kingdom

Great central location for Nairobi business district. Short walk to Jomo Kenyatta statute. One of the oldest historic hotels in Nairobi but modern comfortable renovation. Nice outdoor pool on 5th floor. Breakfast was extensive with western and Indian and local food options. Ernest Hemingway stayed in this hotel along with many other famous people.

Return, United States of America

All staff were genuinely very attentive, helpful and always cheerful. The Stanley is very comfortable and spacious and all meals were of a high standard and good value. The central location is very convenient and access was free of heavy traffic. Part of Nairobi's history!

Jonm84, Australia

I stay at the Sarova Stanley on every trip to Nairobi (which is two to three times a year). I love the staff. They are attentive and extremely kind. The food is excellent and the pool is the beautiful (and always warm).

The Stanley is a lovely place to stay and it's good value for the service provided. The staff were outstandingly helpful, friendly and genuinely interested to chat, which can be really nice as a lone traveler. Lovely pool area and good facilities.

This is a Luxury Hotel actually its one of the best in Nairobi. I have been to so many 5 Star hotel but Stanley Sarova beats all of them. I really loved the staff they are so friendly and so professional. The rooms are so clean. The bed was comfortable and the breakfast buffet was the highlight of the day! It was so yummy. We loved the heated swimming pool it was the best. I loved everything in this hotel.

눉I had no problems with this hotel but some people may prefer to stay in newer hotels which have sprouted up in more suburban locations. Downtown Nairobi has gotten a bit seedy looking.

Disappointing

눉1) We've been robbed in the room for $100 in cash (supposedly by a member of the staff). 2) When we asked to prolong our stay at the reception, we were suggested to do it via internet. Wasn't very convenient, but we thought we can manage that. At the end of the day we were charged more for less. First two nights we had breakfast included in the package for a total of $140 per night, and the extra night was billed at $155 with no breakfast included (something we've been told about when actually having breakfast). That's how they value their returning customers. Overall a completely disappointing experience.
