Hyatt Place Nairobi Westlands
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Hyatt Place Nairobi Westlands is worth booking if you want the best-rated five-star in our Nairobi sample, in Westlands opposite a large mall, with a rooftop pool and a breakfast that covers many diets. It is not for travellers who want to walk to the city centre landmarks, or who need to keep costs near the city median.

Business travellers and families based in Westlands are a good match. Guests praise friendly, efficient staff and a location directly opposite a large shopping mall and restaurants. The property lists a gym, pool, restaurant, terrace and family rooms.
If you want to explore central Nairobi on foot, this is the wrong base, since the main landmarks in our data are 40 minutes or more away. Price-conscious travellers should note that our Best Value pick costs about €63 less a night.
Location and getting around
The address is 10 Lower Kabete Road, in Westlands. Guests rate the location 9.4 out of 10, mostly for the mall and restaurants across the road.
Jamia Mosque is about 3.2 km away, roughly 40 minutes on foot. Uhuru Park is about 3.7 km, around 46 minutes, and Britam Tower about 4.5 km, around 56 minutes. All three are far, so plan on a taxi or public transport. These are straight-line estimates, not verified routes.
What guests say
The score is 9.2 out of 10 from 1,783 reviews, the strongest base of any hotel we compared in the city. Staff are described as friendly, helpful and efficient. The position opposite the mall is the other frequent positive.
The one recurring complaint is the rooftop infinity pool. Guests like the city views, but say the water is often cold. Breakfast styles listed are broad: Continental, vegetarian, vegan, halal, gluten-free, Asian, American and buffet.
