"It seemed like this place just opened and was not ready for guests, but they did not have power when I arrived, which was a big let down after traveling from the US for over a day. They also didn't have internet for a while, until they got power back and after I asked. Not a bad place, maybe it'll get better with time. The food and service was good! "

In-room safe, desk, iron/ironing board, free WiFi

"I loved staying at the Corat Africa Hotel. Not only did I feel safe in a safer neighborhood in the city, it was convenient to popular attractions such as the Kobe Tough Bead Factory (literally 5 min walk), the Giraffe Centre, National Park and Elephant orphanage. While the facility looked like a proper hotel, what makes this place so special is the people. From the front reception, to the maids, to the waiters to the security guards- all were so lovely, gentle and really wanted you to feel...

Honeymoon Double Room | Premium bedding, down comforters, individually decorated

"Rooms are as in the pictures. Little disappointed that there was no air conditioning. Was only given one towel. Food was terrible. Expensive and it took so long to get served in a rather mediocre venue for the price you pay. Also was served cold. Chips were soggy and overall experience with food was quite disappointing. I did like the room layout and big wooden doors but wasn’t a fan of the old locks but understand some folks may find that appealing. At the gate, the guard was quite pleasant and...

"Lovely and clean rustic place including room and common area. Love the detailing to the space, better ambience than in a hotel! We could easily park our car safely at the space outside near the garden within the house compound. Cosy and clean bedding, equipped with electric kettle, fridge and cooking place. Good WiFi, could shower comfortably in the bath. Highly recommended!"

Highly recommend for the staff who are wonderful, the facility which is beautiful, the food, and the attention received from Evans who helped our stay with taking us shopping for our safaris since our luggage did not ever arrive at the hotel!

"We were not lucky on the night we stayed. There was a power outage late night in parts of Kenya and hotel’s power generator was on and it made loud noises. We could not sleep well. We understood that it was not hotel’s fault. All the staffs there are very nice and helpful. Breakfast was good and sufficient. We will come back after our safari trip and we hope room will be quiet."

5/5 Excellent

"The bed could have been better. It had hard lumps and I had to just sleep on one side. Also, busy area but you can’t hear the noise in the hotel. "

5/5 Excellent

Excellent staff, excellent price.

"This is a great choice for backpackers and folks doing a brief stay over in Nairobi. I can’t stress enough how excellent the staff is and we really enjoyed the bar and restaurant. Again, excellent staff and really tasty food! The only issue for us was that there wasn’t air-conditioning and a rather weak fan but as long as you ask to stay on the side where the sun rises as opposed to where it sets, the rooms are nice and cool in the evening. For the price, this is an excellent option in Nairobi."

Arboretum offers an oasis from the bustle

"Everyone was very helpful and friendly. The location is good; it is calm and quiet except for the very loud Sunday afternoon music. Access to the Arboretum is a real treat. "
