We stayed at the Intercontinental Hotel in Nairboi for 2 nights before we began our safari. We thought the hotel was VERY nice and comfortable. Plus, the location was great. Very close to the attractions within the city of Nairobi and in the area of town that my guidebook considered the most safe. We found the staff to be very... more

What a gorgeous hotel! Honestly, from the previous reviews, I was expecting half a construction site on arrival and even thought about re-booking elsewhere. But the Intercontinental was simply superb. I loved every moment I was there. We checked into a Club Intercontinental room on the 6th floor. They are newly refurbished and extremely modern, comfortable and luxurious. Bathroom amenities... more

OK, I'm a fan of the Priority Club loyalty scheme, and so staying in the Intercontinental when in Nairobi is a must but please when are you going to finish those renovations?? I've been staying in the Intercontinental in Nairobi when in Nairobi on business for the last six years. I always book the Executive Floor, as having access to... more

We stayed at the Nairobi in early Sep and were surprised by the dated decor and average facilities and food. After our safari and beach holiday we chose to stay at the Hilton which was less expensive, but far superior in terms of decor and comfort. more

The Intercontinental is situated in Nairobi's city centre - probably the safer and nicer part of the city. Its a very comfortable 4 or 5*. We used this hotel as a stopover before flying home the next morning. The Panari (I think thats the correct name) is closer to the airport but much more expensive and looks a bit tack... more

Beware the 3rd floor - especially if you are arriving in the morning after a long flight. They are still doing renovations on the 4th floor, and it seemed that they were working in the ceiling space of my 3rd floor room, with a grinder and hammers... Ear plugs provided by the management were useless. One would have thought the... more

Just returned from two wonderful weeks at the Intercontinental Nairobi. The staff and the service are exceptional, better than ANY 5 star hotel in the world. Their kindness and concern for the happiness of the guests is exemplary. Facilities, rooms, food all very good. The staff puts this hotel in a class by itself. more

I just won't...can't grade on a sliding scale. For Africa this is a pretty good hotel. For Intercontinental it's a great Day's Inn. The staff was excellent. Food was very good. Rooms were pretty small and I am a Priority Club Level member. They were also a bit... uhhh... dingy, I think is the word I'm looking for. Not dirty.... more

My tour operator partner, his wife and I stayed at the InterContinental, Nairobi, for a total of 5 nights in November, 2005. It was our homebase while traveling to 3 different game parks in Kenya and Tanzania. The only reason I have not rated the propery "excellent" is because of the condition of their "standard" rooms which are not up... more
