Nice city hotel in the middle in green surroundings! *

Enlarge letters A A Downsize letters A A

The Fairview is the most popular hotel in Nairobi and has a long-standing tradition. It is advanced and has a variety of rooms and suites. Everything is in the old English style. There is a pool and garden, a wine cellar, a business centre and lots of restaurants and bars. For a stay before or after a safari or as a base for day trips perfect. Nairobi itself does not have much to offer and around the hotel there is actually nothing. The hotel has its own taxis, make every trip. The food in the restaurants was good and varied, the atmosphere was very nice. For a couple of days you could eat there well and varied. Overall I recommend it! Tip: not too much time in Nairobi plan!
