I think most people who travel a lot for business have a favourite hotel which they keep coming back to. The Fairview in Nairobi is mine. Surely I have been to more luxurious and modern hotels but the Fairview is like a home-from-home and you cannot really beat that. The grounds of the hotel are stunning and peaceful and you... More

This hotel is the best hotel in Nairobi. On the way from the airport our driver pointed out many high priced hotels which he claimed were great. However after I left the Fairview Hotel after my 1 night stay (awaiting safari) I knew I found the best hotel in town. Whether on business or pleasure the Fairview is perfect for... More

did a 4 day safari and stayed in the fairview for 3 days afterwards....really nice clean hotel , relaxing atmosphere with nice food...my only criticism is that around the pool it is set up for diners ( sunloungers up the stairs on a balcony area) and feels kind of wierd trying to have a swim with 20-30 people eating and...

My only hesitation in writing this review is that it might make booking this hotel even more difficult, as it really is the best place to stay in Nairobi. Excellent service, nice rooms, super location, great setting of green gardens and relaxing atmosphere. Nice pool and diversity of excellent places to eat. This place has it all. More

I had the pleasure of staying at the Fairview Hotel on a recent business trip to Kenya. This is by far the most interesting hotel I've ever stayed at. The buildings, the gardens, the rooms and restaurants all make for a very relaxing and entertaining stay. From breakfast in the Atrium to beers outside by the pool and fine dining... More

Stayed here (in Nairobi for friends' wedding) and had an excellent stay. Great selection at breakfast (included) and beautiful pool area. Staff extremely helpful and they've got the local taxi situation sorted out well, with reliable and friendly drivers. More

I spent two days at the Fairview Hotel on business and was very impressed. I had heard about the Fairview before and new of its reputation. It more than exceeded my expectations. The room was spacious and comfortable (they had upgraded me to a top tier room). There are a number of restaurants on the property and all that I... More

Definitely my preferred hotel in Nairobi. It is a comfortable and fairly upmarket hotel, with all facilities, but with the character that many equivalent four star "chain" hotels in the city lack. The location is good (central, and close to many offices and ministries), and the actual hotel is very pleasing to look at - a nice, old(ish) building, set... More

Stayed just one night at Fairview Hotel but it was a great experience. I shared a twin room with my friend, it was very clean, modern and spacious, we had a large very comfortable bed each, the bathroom was big too, the shower was so powerful it pummelled you, very relaxing after a days work. Also free wifi. Very nice... More
