This was certainly a grand dame 40 years ago when my wife first stayed at The Norfolk, but we found the place tired and the whole routine a bit sketchy. We were given a room that was not what we booked (booking specifically called for a King bed, but we received a Queen and the hotel staff tried to convince us that indeed the bed was a "King-like" bed). I was given two separate quotes for a car service, one twice the other, and both were a multiple of what Uber quoted for the same ride. I sat outside enjoying a cigar and a waieter asked me if i had an "extra cigar" for him. That's never happened to me anywhere. Also of note, the manager was quite welcoming until he saw we had a problem with the room and he then disappeared faster than you could imagine. Indeed it's a grand dame that has seen better days.

Fantastic stay - charming, helpful and efficient staff, clean and comfortable resort with all the modern offerings a good hotel should have, set in an old world setting in the heart of town. If I can help it - will always stay here when visiting Nairobi.

Spent 4 days here after a busy 4 weeks traveling around Kenya and Tanzania. What a welcome treat to be pampered in this little oasis of comfort in the middle of Nairobi. Great service staff!!

This is probably the worst Fairmont I've stayed in.
The room was fine but the property itself was a little tired.
The service was abysmal. In particular we have questioned why a 28usd charge was added to our bill when WiFi is included and not given an adequate response in a reasonable amount of time.
I would recommend anyone looking for accommodation in Nairobi to look elsewhere to avoid disappointment.

The gardens and grounds were beautiful and well maintained. Lots of areas to spend time and relax. Service was great. Only issues were small rooms and bad views to the street in all standard rooms.

Loved the gardens and the grounds. The main restaurant was great and we enjoyed the breakfast. Charming bar. Everything was simple and straightforward. Only complaints are Tatu wasn’t great and room was very small.
