3-Star Hotels in Nairobi

I had a really enjoyable stay at the Swiss Lenana Mount Hotel and would happily return. From the moment I arrived, the staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. They really made an effort to help me settle in, which immediately set the tone for the stay. A standout moment for me was when the general manager personally came over to introduce himself and check that everything was going well — a small touch, but one that you don’t often experience and it made a big difference. The rooms were spacious, very clean, and clearly well maintained. It felt comfortable and relaxing throughout my stay. I also really appreciated the location. The area felt safe and pleasant to walk around, with some great places to eat nearby. While I usually stay in Westlands when I visit Nairobi, this was a refreshing change. You’re still only about a 10-minute Uber ride from Westlands and other key areas, but far enough out to enjoy quieter evenings and avoid the heavy traffic. Overall, this was an excellent experience — great location, great people, and a genuinely comfortable stay. Highly recommended.

The room, though small, was fully equipped. It felt very secure with security checks at the entrance and exit, and access control on each floor. I stayed for two nights, and during my stay, the elevator broke down once, forcing me to climb the stairs to the 6th floor (the actual floor was the 8th). The elevator started working again halfway up. Other than that, everything else was good. Oh, and the room only had bath towels, no hand towels or toiletries. The shampoo and body wash were a 2-in-1, and there was no conditioner.

It felt less like a hotel and more like staying in a room within an apartment. The owner, cleaning staff, and the breakfast area were all on the 6th floor. The breakfast menu varied slightly each day, offering dishes like fried rice, potatoes, and stir-fried vegetables. It would be smoother to check in via WhatsApp. When the toilet paper ran out or the Wi-Fi acted up, they responded quickly and fixed it after I contacted them on WhatsApp. Laundry was also free. However, the main room where the laundry was kept smelled of cigarettes, possibly because people smoked there. But since it was free, I didn't mind. I also received plenty of water.

The hotel is an old colonial house and well maintained. The location is a little far from the restaurants and city center. A Carrefour is within walking distance. Breakfast and pool are great. Highly recommended for budget travelers

Nice, friendly BnB style airport hotel. Clean, spacious rooms. Service is very polite and friendly. Located maybe 20 minutes drive from the airport, in a gated compound with security. Staff provide a nice breakfast as well It provides a welcome alternative to the large, well-known but overpriced airport hotels near the international airport in Nairobi. We're happy to have experienced Kenyan hospitality and not paid a ridiculous amount just to stay overnight before another flight. It's off the main road (use Google to guide you, the location is correct). Fairly quiet neighbourhood, but you can hear planes taking off and dogs barking sometimes as well. But overall, we had a good sleep and were refreshed. The water pressure was on the low side, but you could have a warm shower.

I stayed at this camp expecting an adventurous experience, but it did not quite meet my expectations. The price was very high for what you get—essentially just a tent with a toilet quite far away (try walking at 3 am under umbrella to the toilet with +14C🫩). While the adventure aspect is there, it felt like overpaying, especially considering the costs for similar accommodations in this country. On the positive side, the bed was really comfortable, and the tent was cozy, which made for a good night’s sleep. The territory of the camp was nice, and breakfast was excellent, adding some value to the stay. Overall, I have mixed feelings. I liked some parts of the experience, mainly the cozy sleep and the breakfast, but I would not come back or pay this amount of money again. For the price, it is not worth it in this destination. PS shout out to the staff, they are fantastic and very nice

The environment is good, clean and comfortable, it is very convenient to have three meals, and the taste is also very good.

We had a great stay at this lovely apartment near Yaya Centre. It was clean, well-equipped with a kitchen, washing machine, hairdryer, and had strong Wi-Fi. The location is safe and convenient, close to malls, markets, and easy to get around with public transportation. The owner was super friendly and gave clear check-in instructions. Security was excellent and the guards were always welcoming. A perfect place for foreign tourists…. highly recommended!

The hotel's location is very good in Westland. Very nice and friendly staff. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a comfortable hotel with excellent service and friendly staff!

I was staying in several guest houses in Nairobi. Javilla Eagles Safari Guest House was outstanding. The service was excellent. The employees always helpful in every regard. The rooms were clean. Big windows for daylight in the room. The windows could be even opened for fresh air. The breakfast delicious. Even they do not have a restaurant, they were willing to cook for me in the kitchen regarding my choice. The neighbourhood is silent. The big problem is only the location, if I had business or visits in the City Center. After 9:00 hours in the morning I needed by taxt 35 minutes. Before that time I needed more than 1 hour. Avoid rush hour in the evening, as it could take you 2 hours from the Center to the Guesthouse. If you have only taxi rides to the airport, the location is perfect.
