We stayed at the Fairview Hotel two separate times during a safari trip to Kenya. Other than the airport, this was our first introduction to Kenyan hospitality, and it was outstanding. We've been to many hotels in the USA, Mexico and Europe and the service here at the Fairview sits easily in the top 3 of anywhere we have stayed. The hotel felt very safe with a strong security staff to provide that feeling. The grounds are very well kept and a pleasure to walk around in, which is nice due to us being told that the neighborhood is not a particularly safe one. The hotel itself is very stylish and comfortable with a nice pool and pool area. The restaurants provided very good food and drink. Upon our landing in Nairobi, our airline lost our luggage, and the Fairview reception staff was SO incredibly awesome in helping us work with the airline to get them found and delivered to us at the hotel. They might be the most helpful, friendly and respectful reception staff we have ever encountered. In addition, this hotel was very competitively priced; we've stayed in much worse places for a lot more money. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Nairobi for any type of trip. It was about a half hour distance from the main airport and was very close to Wilson Airport (for flights to Masai Mara) The hotel will send a hotel-based taxi to pick you up or deliver you to either airport for a small fee. This felt much safer than just picking a taxi from outside.

This is a very old and we had hoped charming hotel in the centre of town. Our "VIP" room was clean but very bare and functional, probably fine for business users but indulgent or luxurious. I have scored it average for most things as we found it extremely expensive for what we had and the standard of the hotel. The reception staff were not helpful and a bit abrupt, the only good member of staff was Brian at the pool bar.

We've been staying at the Fairview for 25 years. Even with new owners, the facilities continue to be excellent. The staff is mostly new. We knew the old staff, and, of course, you appreciate people you know and like. Two considerations for management: 1. The Fairview is becoming less a warm and personal place to stay and more a commercial, corporate facility. That's a minus. It's the difference between, "Good morning, Mr. Schmidt, how was your sleep." and "What can I do for your sir?" 2. The prices are becoming much too high. Even the breakfast, always included in the room rate, is now an additional $25. That's outrageous, the meal just isn't that good. Climbing rates for rooms and meals might be reasons we look elsewhere when we visit Nairobi. Pity, we've enjoyed the Fairview for more than two decades.

Lovely property with beautiful grounds and a great pool (although I didn’t get to swim; it was too cool the day I was there). Friendly, helpful staff. Great breakfast buffet with many choices. Room was clean but not as attractive as the rest of the hotel. Tight security. Like many other hotels in Nairobi, the hotel is gated and watched by armed guards. Luggage is screened as you enter the property.

This hotel, the staff and the food were amazing. My wife and I were attending a wedding and this was the first time in Kenya. This hotel became our home away from home. They made us feel very welcome and appreciated. The food and service was fabulous. I only wish they could transport this hotel to the US. We highly recommend this hotel. You will not regret the stay.

Fairview's gardens are a welcome retreat, calming, picturesque. Overall the staff were attentive and aimed to please. The restaurant staff (pool-side) were great in their recommendations. Points of improvement: More attention to be paid at checkin to status of guests. I booked Fairview especially because of the VIP (Expedia) status it afforded me. At checkin, they checked only for IHG staus, and I was booked into a small room on the backside of the hotel, overlooking a rooftop. When I notified the front desk, they immediately sought to rectify the problem, and I was upgraded to the poolside room. Also, using the rather efficient room service ordering (via whatsapp) I ordered a light meal (soup, naan, water). It was after 2100. After an hour of waiting, I checked and was told that the staff had "left, and had forgotten." While the staff member with whom I spoke offered to rectify the oversight, it was too late for me. Upon checkout, the managerial staff apologized profusely and offered to comepnsate at a future stay. I would stay at Fairview again. The location was perfect; I felt safe; the menu variety was great; the room was clean and quiet.
