The hotel is dated and expensive. The furniture and spa facilities were dated. I stayed here for business but had to think over the high charges for internet and printing. Breakfast was excellent without a doubt and location of the hotel is really good, in the heart of Nairobi. I used the hotel taxi for my airport transfers, which was... More

Really good location in Nairobi . A few minutes walk to the CBD. Rooms are clean but dated. Nice comfortable King size beds. Unfortunately if you spend the weekend there get ready for small TV's that are probably over 10 years old. All rooms are basically the same no matter what floor you're on. Regarding food/ restaurants. The Indian restaurant... More

This is a very nice, clean hotel with a great staff. As Priority Club members, we were offered an upgrade to a club room at a nominal price. We were headed to a safari in the Mara, and I was happy to find a library of Kenya and safari books in the club room. Free drinks to go with them!... More

Being in Nairobi for business there are not many choices in the center of the city and Intercontinental is one of that. Rooms are clean and quite (I was at 6th floor executive) but try and avoid second floor where also offices are as it is impossible to sleep there (one colleague of mine was there....) Check in-out service quite... More

Hotel is in a great location, easy to walk around. Reception security was lax, sometimes they searched bags, sometimes they did not. Room was great, lots of space, comfortable bed, great shower. Hotel lost electricity overnight off and on, so we finally unplugged our phone because it made a noise each time it rebooted because of the power going on... More

I stayed in the hotel for 3 nights, but I find it so poor. Rooms need a total renovation, a lot of work is also needed for the whole hotel. This is equivalent to only 3 star hotel, and totally not to the Intercontinental Group standards. Food quality is not good as well. Two things that are good, the location... More

Like many Americans visiting Kenya , we stayed at the InterContinental for two nights before a two-week long photo safari; and, then for our final night in Africa before beginning the long trek homeward. I would agree with most of the other reviewers that the hotel was a bit "down at the heel", but it was clean, spacious, and the... More
