    Pool is relatively small. It wasn’t busy when we were there but in high season I think it would be crowded…

    Elegant, every room is a large suite, beautiful views out to trees & Ngong hills. Prolific birdlife. Provision of amenities excellent…. Lots of bottled water, lovely bath products, V good spa Good business/meeting facilities

    Such an amazing hotel. Staff were more than accommodating with anything we required, the food was spectacular and our room was huge. Not sure why it only has 3 stars as this is definitely a 5 star hotel. I would recommend anyone staying in Nairobi to try this place at least once, they will not regret it. We had a night flight so they let us have a late check out and we’re allowed to use the spa facilities to shower and change before our flight.

    The hotel knew I had a 4 year old with me and decided to put me in a very far room from the main building on a top floor, which wasn't east for the child. They made me book an extra night even though this was my third stay with them because I had a late flight and a child 4yo. I needed the room to make sure she could sleep before the flight They refused to extend my check out, and I booked the night online because it was a lot cheaper from the rate they offered me. I will definitely try another hotel when I'm back in Nairobi.

    The room was spacious Clean The staff are very friendly

    The price was a bit too high I thought.

    I really enjoyed sitting by the pool after my long flight to Nairobi. My room was also lovely and very comfortable. The breakfast was delicious and there were a number of good options to choose from. The hotel overall was very comfortable and I enjoyed my stay.

    They don’t sell sunscreen on site, so make sure you pack a bunch.

    This is the nicest hotel in Nairobi. The grounds and nature around it are also wonderful.

    Was expecting a more diverse breakfast.

    Everything was perfect, from the staff to the room, I had a very warm toned interiors Finch Statton suite. The view on the garden and swimming pool from the balcony is amazing. The atmosphere, the architecture, the choice of the different furniture styles are well blended. Beautiful

    I would say the service was a little inconsistent. I stayed 3 times in the space of a month and experienced the inconsistencies. I will also add this was unusual as I find Hemingways Nairobi usually has incredible service.

    The rooms are spacious and very comfortable. The gardens and grounds are beautiful. The balcony to the room is large. The food in my view is 7/10. The staff are friendly. The pool area is beautiful. What's not to like about Hemingways Nairobi. It is a very elegant hotel and is one of my favourite places to stay.

    The room wasn’t ready when we arrived due to ‘technical’ problems, and having had lunch, we were then told that the room had been changed to Room 15. We needed to sleep but the room looked almost directly onto the terrace where people were still enjoying Sunday Brunch and consequently very noisy. The noise continued until sundown.

    Very good Spa and outdoor pool. Beautiful gardens.

    General service was terrible. Why only a few sun loungers around a nice pool in a large hotel ? General cleanliness poor.

    Food was good, dinner and breakfast. Liked the staffed buffet better than normal free for all.
