Top Thompson Estate Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Nairobi Two Rivers Mall by IHG

8/10 Good

"I’ve traveled on two different occasions and stayed here both times. The hotel was clean and I appreciate the linen and everything being changed daily, which is a plus the kitchen restaurant being open 24 hours a day. I also enjoyed the two Rivers mall being walking distance for your shopping needs . The only pullback that I have is more than once, placing an order to eat, and they either brought me the wrong food or the time to wait was extremely long. Even with those experiences, I would stay again and I would recommend."

Sarova Stanley Hotel, Nairobi

10/10 Excellent

"One of our favorite places that we go to almost every year, we usually bring a group of about 20 to 30 people at a time. The historic and cultural significance of the place and style is tough to beat if you’re looking for an authentic Kenny experience. People are amazing and the staff is so helpful. The food is better than most places in Kenya and the rooms are one of a kind."
