Quotes

Hillcrest Hotel (Hotel)

  • Neighbourhood: Westlands | View Map
  • Price Range: Mid-range
Quotes

Considering the number of restaurants and shopping centres in Westlands, it's surprising how little accommodation there is here - this is actually the only mid-priced option this side of Museum Hill Rd.

Oakwood Hotel (Hotel)

  • Neighbourhood: city centre | View Map
  • Price Range: Mid-range
Quotes

It's questionable how they justify their prices, but this very central hotel does at least offer a bit of character, with lots of wood fittings and a lift that's so old-school it could probably draw a pension. The same chain runs several properties around Kenya and Uganda, and al… Full Lonely Planet Review ›

Oriental Palace Hotel (Hotel)

  • Neighbourhood: city centre | View Map
  • Price Range: Mid-range
Quotes

Possibly not what Kubla Khan had in mind - the foyer does at least try and live up to the name, with faux-ivory reliefs and lots of Indian touches, but the rooms opt more for a Western brown retro feel. It's all comfortable enough, albeit with a slight air of neglect in the corri… Full Lonely Planet Review ›

About Nairobi (Kenya)

Kenyatta Avenue, with arch celebrating Kenya's Uhuru (Independence) (Photographer: Dennis Johnson)

Kenya's capital is cosmopolitan, lively, interesting and pleasantly landscaped. Its central business district is handily compact and it's a great place to tune into modern urban African life. Unfortunately, it's also a great place to get mugged. Security, especially at night, is a definite concern.
