Very kind and polite to the guest. But the facility is a little bit old. And the price is reasonable.

Authentic old hotel, with all historic features. Maybe not the latest modern facilities, but unique it is original style. Perfectly located in the old city centre

We have been using the Oakwood for years. It was always a reasonably priced hotel in the heart of downtown Nairobi. We decided to check it out over the weekend and it hasn't changed much apart from a new entrance that is totally out of character with the rest of this small cozy hotel. Steel grills and off white tiles really do take away the old school charm that was always something we enjoyed. It feels like walking into an antiseptic dental surgery and we immediately missed the old wood lined walls that exuded charm and warmth. The rest of The Oakwood is much the same. The marvelous ramshackle rooms and furniture remains unchanged. Unfortunately it seems the owner decided to increase the cost of a cold refreshing beer to an extortionate KSH 400! This was the subject of much discussion with the disenchanted staff reporting that customers were jumping ship for more regular prices in less iron clad establishments. Sadly we decided to follow the herd and moved on! Shame to see such a venerable old establishment fall into the same trap as so many other old charmers.....!

Magnifique établissement atipique avec beaucoup de bois et qui à un charme fou. En plein coeur de Nairobi, chambre propre, salle de bain dans chaque chambre spacieuse. Le personnel y est très accueillant et à l'écoute ! Je recommande sans réserve !

We stayed in Oakwood hotel for 2 nights. The staff was really nice and welcoming even though we checked in way later than planned, they stayed up for us. We really appreciated our first Kenyan breakfasts. The atmosphere of this hotel is homy and cosy thanks to the wooden furnitures. The room was clean, everything ready as well in the bathroom. There's a safe in each room too. The quality price ratio is very satisfying.

I visited the place for a business lunch with friends and was very happy with the location and the service provided. The hotel is located in the CBD and is very convenient. The menu price, quality of food and service is excellent. I recommend the place.

Five stars...No frills nor nonsense. Phillis and Mirriam provided classy, friendly hospitality. Located in the heart of modern Nairobi, Oakwood is a perfect break from the hustle and bustle. If you need to do any business, come to this cozy classic.
