This is our Budget pick for Nairobi. It works for travellers who want hotel facilities without paying full-service prices. The property lists a gym, spa, pool, restaurant, terrace, air conditioning and free parking, which is a lot for the money.
Families can look at it too, since family rooms are listed. Solo travellers will probably be comfortable. Couples who plan to spend long hours in the room should read the room size comments below first.
Skip it if walking to central sights matters to you. Every landmark in our data is more than 40 minutes away on foot.
Location and getting around
The hotel sits on Popo Road in South C, next to Akila Police Post. Its location score from guests is 8.2.
Distances in our data are straight-line estimates. Britam Tower is about 3.2 km away, roughly 40 minutes on foot. Uhuru Park is about 3.9 km, around 49 minutes. Jamia Mosque is about 4.5 km, close to 56 minutes. All three are far for walking, so plan on a taxi or public transport for sightseeing.
Free parking is listed, which helps if you are driving. Check on arrival how it works and whether there is any limit on spaces.
What guests say
The score is 8.2 out of 10 from 1,073 reviews. That is a solid number from a large sample, though it placed joint 11th of 19 eligible hotels in our sample, so it is a mid-table score rather than a top one.
Staff get the most praise. Guests describe the team as friendly, helpful and attentive, with a warm welcome. Breakfast is the other strong point: a buffet with a wide variety of fresh fruit, juices and hot dishes. The breakfast types listed are Continental and Buffet.
The main complaint is room size. Rooms are often called small or compact. Several guests say they are fine for one person, which suggests two people with luggage may feel cramped.
Price and what you get compared with our other picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults put this hotel at €57.95 a night. That is about 50% below the sample median of €115.17. These are not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
Our Best Value pick, PrideInn Westlands Luxury Boutique Hotel, came in at €97.82 a night with a score of 8.8. Our Luxury pick, Hyatt Place Nairobi Westlands, was €160.86 a night with a score of 9.2. You pay about €40 less per night here than at the Best Value pick, and you give up some guest score and room space in return.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 19 eligible properties in Nairobi. This hotel had the lowest eligible reference price once the upscale choice was set aside, while still holding a four-star rating and an 8.2 guest score from over a thousand reviews.
The facility list is unusually long for this price. A pool, gym and spa are rare at under €60 a night in our sample.
Before you book
Room size, noise, renovation condition, breakfast inclusion and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Read the room description closely and confirm the size in square metres if it is shown.
Check whether breakfast is included in your rate. Ask about opening times and any fees for the spa, pool and gym before you rely on them. Budget for taxis if you plan to see the city centre.
