I stayed in Panari just for a night stop, to catch a flight next morning, so I quess i can't really say much, only from an overnight quest point of view. If you're looking for a hotel for the same reason, Panari is good, provided you're willing to pay the high price.. It's 10 minutes drive from the airport, about... More

Panari is great. Unfortunately it's a bit of a hot spot so there is extra security and a lot of black suits!. Anyway overall they are just doing their job - so i feel safe there every time i stay in NBO. Jude

I've stayed here so many times I can't remember...neither can the management of the hotel by the way... you get "welcome back" messages in other hotels I frequently stay in, but no such thing exists in the Panari. Staff is overall friendly though. You're also made to pay your room fare upfront, which as such is not a problem but... More

Stayed here for 3 nights a couple of weeks ago. I'd say its ok for a stopover from the airport but not much else. I've stayed further down the road at the Ole Sereni a couple of times and that is way better. However, the rooms are ok, spacious, security is at the front of the hotel checking who goes... More

We chose to lounge at this hotel due to its proximity to the airport. We arrived in Nairobi during rush hour mid-week and didn't think it made sense to travel into the city. For lounging in a hotel bar, this venue is not bad. However, business travellers or people with long layovers with desires to access the online world, this... More

Over priced, not good decor, slow and somewhat unhelpful staff. It took me 30 minutes to check in and 30 minutes to check out and I paid cash!

As part of a business trip, I booked reservations at the Panari Hotel due to the close proximity of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. It is a short shuttle trip to and from the airport. I stayed in November of 2011 and the shuttle fee was $12.00 USD per person/each way for a shuttle. On my return in December of 2011,... More

Only spent 36hours at the Panari-a quick business trip. The hotel is secure, clean and room was comfortable with modern decor and facilities. Staff were all helpfull. Didn't get time to use pool, gym etc In summary -for Nairobi, it provides a secure environment and caters to your needs together with the convience of being near the airport.

Being put up at the Panari as part of a media group invitational to Nairobi, I had to stay where I was booked. Arrival handling was fairly swift, as I helped to find my own name on the guest arrival list. Getting upstairs one has to watch both elevators, which are not 'coordinated' and guests and staff are often seen... More
