Beautiful 5-star property with huge rooms, excellent service, and complete with outdoor pool and a big gym. Has a nice spa and outdoor restaurant as well. Unlimited water bottles is very nice. Located in downtown area. Breakfast buffet is a bit expensive but was well worth the cost as many food options are available. Staff are all extremely kind. Would definitely recommend.

My parents retired recently and I was the traveling agent/ Organizer. They were just coming back from their Zanzibar trip, I chose Sarova Stanley because of its proximity to the bus station. Personally I have never stayed in Sarova hotels. I made the best choice because they can’t stop talking about Sarova Stanley. From the front office (Jesse), the immaculate spacious room, the intercontinental breakfast was mouthwatering, the porters and the chauffeur were delightful. Thank you for making my parents stay worthwhile.

Property is very traditional, some would say dated. It was clean and comfortable. Bed was a little hard for my liking. Staff and service as good. Centrally located, many shops and market for souvenirs just outside. Lastly, food is pricy but good.

We stayed for 7 days at the hotel and found the staff incredibly friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Steve was AMAZING and helped us sort out all our day trips and safari. Whilst organising our trips, he would teach us on Kenyan history, which was fascinating. A few other members of staff that stood out were George, Paul and Beatrice. I highly recommend visiting Nairobi and definitely stay at The Savora Stanley.
