Top Strathmore University Hotel Reviews

Razana Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel"

Best Western Nairobi Upper Hill

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms were cleaned"

Radisson Blu Hotel Nairobi Upper Hill

10/10 Excellent

"I'll definitely go back"

Weston Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Decent if you just want a place for the night next to Wildon airport. The hotel arranged a driver to pick us up at 2AM at JKIA which was great."

JW Marriott Hotel Nairobi

10/10 Excellent

"This is the best hotel in all of Kenya. And that’s not an understatement and yes, I’ve been to hotels all over Kenya for the last 11 years. Maybe there is a hotel that is drastically nicer and more luxurious up in the Masai Mara like the other JW Marriott in that location that’s $5000 a night or the Ritz Carlton in that area for $5000 a night but for 150-600 USD a night in Nairobi there is nothing better. The quality of the food the furnishings, pool, and all of its many other features is unparalleled. The Hyatt Regency might have a nicer gym, but the JW Marriott is superior in every other way."

Aero Club of East Africa

10/10 Excellent

"An excellent stay. Nice clean rooms with mosquito nets. Good WiFi. Restaurant was great- food at breakfast and dinner was great, good service too. Able to leave luggage in storage with them which was handy for us"

Sarova Panafric Hotel, Nairobi Upper Hill

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were very friendly and helpful"

Fairview Hotel Nairobi, Vignette Collection by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Staff is very warm, kind and helpful, The food is very good and the service is exceptional. Installations are cleaned and well maintained. The only thing is the quality of the coffee, which needs to be improved to match the high level of other beverage and food items."

Arova Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hotel is nice and clean. Room is so cosy. Shower is perfect with a lot of water. Lights are excellent. Front desk is so helpful. There is a coffee place just next to the hotel. The only thing to note is that this is Muslim Hotel that follows Sharia law. You can't have anything in the hotel that Sharia law don't allow. There's mosque right in front of the hotel and it's loud during call to prayer. Area around the hotel is bit dusty. So in general, Arova Hotel is perfect and I recommend it to anyone visiting Nairobi"
