10/10 Exceptional

Loved staying at the Stanley and would stay here if I’ve ever in Nairobi again. The food in the cafe and Thai restaurant was outstanding, we also enjoyed the bar on the first floor and the pool on the roof was really nice. The room was spacious and comfortable. Lastly the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming.

Absolutely amazing property! We loved everything, and overall, the immaculate staff in every department. So friendly, helpful, smily. Beautiful people. And the hotel itself, so much history at every corner! We used several restaurants and amenities and all was perfect. Special mention to Daudi in the 5th floor bar/restaurant by the pool. He made our evernings special with his unique and so professional and enjoyable personality. Thanks for everything. 100% recommended
