    The shower could have been a bit more powerful and warm.

    The room was goodlooking and just like advertised in the pictures. The staff was polite and friendly. The food is good, we have enjoyed breakfest every morning. When we left it rained quite heavily. The security guard swiftly came to protect us from the rain with an umbrella when we are getting into the taxi, that is thoughtful and an example of great hospitality. As a guest you don´t forget such a friendly gesture.

    No elevator, but the hotel have porters to help us with the luggage though.

    Nice room and comfy for 3 people. The staff are attentive and friendly. Hotel's location 's very close to city center, surrounded by many restaurants.

    For the money I think it is little bit overpriced. We would expect a more drinking water for that price. Also it is written in descriprion that you can pay by cash in KES but it is not true, which put us into a bad situation.

    We really appreciate the staff of hotel. Everyone was really kind and try to help as much as possible. There was a trouble with hot water because sollar system did not work that day but they did the best to solve the problem.

    Towels and bedsheets were old and broken, (with holes). My room had a window to a deposit and it was not possible to close the window. It was not a big deal though. Be aware is a budget hotel

    It has 24h reception. It was optional of breakfast for $6. It was clean. A bottle of water available in the room. The staff is very kind. It's perfect for short stays. (Use Bolt for private transportation to airport, taxi of the hotel charges you 4x)

    I'm not one to complain, but the Wi-Fi was a bit frustrating because of the spotty service, and the mattress was on the hard side leaving my back a bit sore in the morning. Other than those two issues, I give the hotel a thumbs up!

    All of the staff are great, and the taxi service and guides were very efficient at helping me to navigate Nairobi as well as access to a number of the game reserves. All things considered, the hotel is a solid location for the price . . .

    You have excellent staff who are very helpful and they are all have a smile. As one who knows a bit of body language, I can see that behind the smile... I could be right or wrong.

    Breakfast, okay but not the best. Lunch or dinner is just too little (especially Ugali? Seriously?) and a bit expensive. I preferred to eat from outside rather than in the hotel. Lower the cost and increase the portion.

    When I asked if is safe, (2) walk around [or], go (4) a walk in city centre after [7pm - 8pm]. They suggested me, (2) avoid do such thing. Probably some streets around city centre were no safe enough (4) me as nationals from other country - continent. However, I did my best, (2) go out and return after [8pm], yes. They probably were right, is not that easy. However, overall, I stayed satisfied and felt safe [100%] with my whole stay in Kahama hotel & overall with my stay in Nairobi.

    My room was every day clean! [bedroom, toilet - bathroom]. No complain. The TV, some times, didn't worked well. But overall I didn't open it much! Hotel Staff [Reception, kitchen, room service], no complain/s. They did the best, (2) have the best experience while I stayed in Hotel. Breakfast & lunch I took couple times, was great! If I had some problem, I just went in reception (2) solve it! Simple as that.
