The Narobi Transit Hotel is quite nice for the price. The room is simple but clean. I you are American, think "Motel 6." Be aware that it is not near the airport. It is a good 30 minute drive. They can send a driver for USD 20 or KS2500.

The hotel is basic but it is clean, it has satellite tv, free in room WiFi. It is close enough to Nairobi city centre. It is a good hotel for the money.

Disappointing hotel overnight transit
No free wifi as advertised & shuttle ride round trip should have been $25US - there was no such thing I paid to & from $50US. I paid $73.00 & it was only 55000 Tz shillings - so will not recommend to anyone - it was also around an hour from airport. Unsatisfied customer.

Probably more of a 2* hotel
The hotel was rated higher, but I thought it was in the 2-star category. Dirty walls in the lobby and hallways, curtains and towels stained in the rooms etc... and small cockroaches in the rooms. The sheets were clean though, and for that I was appreciative. But the hotel needs to be better managed overall and be prepared for some surprises in terms of quality lapses

Nairobi accommodation.
A hotel near the airport with some activities near it :- Museum excellent. food market good too. It is in a noisy neighborhood and taxi from and to airport is costly. Good view opportunity but only public transport station and street vendors meet the eye.

2/10 Poor

Dingy and dirty
I read the reviews for this hotel and thought it sounded like the perfect hotel for just one night. I was wrong. We got there and one person in our group had to change rooms 3 times before they found one with clean sheets. Our room had no pillows nor sheets when we got there, that we had to ask for. Shower was dirty so we didn't feel like showering in the morning, plus the night before I had the conditioner stolen from my room whilst we were having dinner. There is a tv but no remote and only one channel was working. Hotel is dirty and not modern at all.

Glad it was just one night
Dirty dirty dirty. The hotel is not modern at all and it is dirty and worn down. Our bed had no beddings when we got there and our friend had to change rooms three times before they found a bed with no blood on the sheets. We were a group of 17 and no one had a shower in the morning due to the fact that the showers were rank. Staff is friendly though.

Good for a short stay
The Hotel staff was very helpful to us and we enjoyed our short stay in Nairobi. The Hotel is located a short walk away from the National Museum, a worthwhile place to visit. We asked the front desk about walking there, and they told us it was not safe and arranged for a younger brother to walk with us. He took us to the museum then by bus to the central business district. It was a very pleasant day experiencing the city. Then we took the short walk together from the Central Business District to our hotel. We would recommend this hotel to travelers. Everything was clean. The internet worked well. The restaurant had a good breakfast and dinner.

general good to price. food in restaurant is good. breakfast very good. Very good room cleaning. negativ : the elevator does not work and to stay on the 4th floor was pretty exhausting after 3 days of golf from dawn to dusk.
Verified Hotels.com guest review

6/10 Good

Not what I expected
The price is good however it is probably so because this hotel is NOT in central Nairobi. It is at least a mile walk to there (minimum 15 minutes with a brisk pace) with the way through a gauntlet /wall of people at most times of the day over a path strewn with litter. The surrounding area too is litter strewn. Staying at this hotel is staying among the local people and if you don't want that you don't want this hotel. (I write that because many who travel want anything but a cultural immersion). There is no obvious or well seen sign at or directing to or announcing the hotel (even though the picture on Expedia showed one). Getting there required my taxi driver to ask for directions several times in the surrounding neighborhood as no one seemed to know of the facility. I write taxi driver because my transfer to the hotel (and arranged by the hotel) did not show up at the airport. After an hour long wait I got a taxi, and that was an event in itself. When I got to the hotel the response after reporting no transfer showed up was, "Well you made it." There really is nothing immediately surrounding the hotel in the way of places to eat. The food at the hotel was at best dinner quality- not that I expected top restaurant quality. Best description of the facility would be a high end hostel where you don't share sleeping quarters. Do not expect more. Overall not a place I'd stay with a visit to Nairobi again, primarily due to location.
