We stayed here as part of a tour so we didn't pay for the room separately but I gather they charge $130/night and although the place was decent, I wouldn't pay that much. The staff was very friendly and the pool was lovely but the rooms were pretty worn. As a budget hotel, it is fine though. More

I feel many of the reviews are unfair to this hotel and if you have done a bit of backpacking then you won't have complaints about this hotel. We were nearly put off doing our Intrepid Express trip because the reviews of this hotel were so poor but actually whilst the plumbing in the rooms are a little old and... More

I’ll start this review with a disclaimer, and that is that I haven’t stayed anywhere else in Nairobi so I guess I haven’t got a clear perspective of how good or bad this hotel is in comparison to what else is on offer. As such I will have to give this hotel a rating based on my various travels and... More

My wife and stayed at the Kivi Millimani for two nights before and after a long overland journey. The hotel decor and exterior is in need of a little overhaul but otherwise it is a great hotel and good value for money. After a long flight it we were welcomed by friendly staff who assisted us without hassle and sorted... More

This is a basic hotel which has all the amenities needed but certainly does not offer more. The rooms are definitely dated but was clean. The bathroom was fine although the shower never got warmer than luke warm. They have 2 computers in the lobby for visitors to use as well as a reasonable money exchange in the lobby. The... More

I stayed there based on the recommendation of my tour company. Very poor service at reception. I asked a question and they sent for a taxi driver. When i checked out they said I had not paid and I had. They made me go and get the proof. Food is good but it takes at least 45 minutes for it... More

This hotel was fine for the pirce we paid. Hotel is rundown, and i'd be avoiding the lift unless absolutley necessary! Staff were friendly. Dinner was fine, took over an hour to come out once ordered though! If I had a choice to stay somehwere else I would have, however we stayed here at the beginning of our Intrepid Overland... More

We had some misgivings about staying here after completing an overland trip and before starting another one. From the rear gate, the parking lot and surrounding buildings looked almost abandoned. The front part of the hotel though—including lobby, patio, pool—was perfectly pleasant. The rooms were spacious and clean, the vibe (unintentionally?) 70s retro. The balcony is great for hanging laundry!... More

Most people stay here because it is the starting hotel for several overland companies - it is probably about time these companies looked for another locally run hotel in the area. We stayed there twice- one night either end of our tour. The first room we had was included in the tour. The room was pleasant- clean and a king... More
