Top Strathmore University Hotel Reviews

Tamarind Tree Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"perfect location, can get to most places in under 15mins"

Best Western Nairobi Upper Hill

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing staff! The hotel, the restaurants, solid all around."

Altura Ruftahomes

10/10 Excellent

"I had a great stay at Altura Hotel. The staff was awesome—friendly, courteous, and helpful throughout my stay. The room was nice and clean, including the bathroom and shower. The kitchenette was useful, although I would have preferred a larger four-burner stovetop instead of the two-burner setup. My biggest issue was the elevator breaking down while I was staying on the 24th floor. I ended up having to walk all the way downstairs with my bags, which was definitely uncomfortable and inconvenient. Other than that, I enjoyed my stay and had a positive experience overall. I would still recommend Altura Hotel."

Fairview Hotel Nairobi, Vignette Collection by IHG

8/10 Good

"I’ve stayed at the Fairview many times over two decades of traveling to Nairobi. It was recently updated, which was a plus. But the soaps throughout the hotel are very sticky — low quality so bring your own soap. The staff is a consistently excellent - old school Nairobi. The one issue I always have with this hotel however is that it’s cold. If you’re planning to stay here, ask for an extra blanket or bring some warm clothing. Nairobi in general is pretty chilly evening time and this is a historic hotel with a lot of open breezeways for hallways. If you want to have an authentic Kenyan safari type experience this is the hotel for it."

The Boma Nairobi

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel with great staff"

The Heron By Sarovar Portico India

10/10 Excellent

"My wife, teenage daughter and I originally were going to stay for a week and ended up staying for four weeks. We loved it -- comfortable room, quiet surroundings, helpful staff, nice breakfasts each day, good heated pool, etc."

Best Western Plus Meridian Hotel

8/10 Good

"Key cards were not working during our stay. Breakfast fantastic. Neighborhood ok."

Mercure Nairobi Upper Hill

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent staff. Very attentive and helpful"

Radisson Blu Hotel Nairobi Upper Hill

10/10 Excellent

"Clean Room, proximity to hospitals and city."
