“Expensive and nothing special”

Reviewed 19 March 2013

Looks like it was built in the 1980's and not much has changed. Rooms have not been upgraded, elevator runs very slowly, breakfast starts when it starts (not earlier if you are trying to catch a plane) all slightly shabby and depressing. Long and bureaucratic checkout procedure involving several people (took longer to check out than to get to the... More

Our trip o L'Ami was cancelled until the next day. So we stayed at the planarian hotel. Convenient to the Nairobi airport. Clean rooms. Decent buffet breakfast and friendly staff. If you are stuck overnight a good pace to stay

“Tired and dated.”

Reviewed 7 March 2013

I booked in after 3 nights at the Ole Sereni due to lack of availability at OS due to late change in plans. Immediately on arrival the difference is noticeable. The whole premise of the hotel is one where the hotel has several restaurants but only one which is affiliated to the hotel. The staff appear not to be trained... More

“Typical African too expensive 3-star hotel promoted as 5-star.”

Reviewed 14 February 2013

i think this is the 2nd best hotel relatively close to the airport. Nearby is the better Sereni Hotel, which used to be the temporary U.S. embassy. i assume the Sereni is more expensive. The sereni has better (and more expensive) restaurants. The Panari is in a huge building, with multiple restaurants, shops, an ice skating rinkk, a disco and... More

“Close to the airport - Far from city”

Reviewed 1 February 2013

During Nairobi peak hours, you are an hour away from city centre. The good news is - you are always 15 minutes away from the airport. If you are on transit or have business to attend close to the airport - this is a good option. The front rooms overlook the Nairobi national park and have a great view. The... More

This hotel welcomes you with arms wide open. There's a guard at the gate and there's ice in the ice-box. Everything is complete. Across the roadway you can see the Nairobi National Park pulsing in the distance. If you need a place to stay just for a night while you're in transition, this is a great place to stay as... More
