The hotel is a bit of a throwback, but it’s a beautiful oasis in the hustle and bustle of Nairobi. Lots of trees and birds and green space.

Comfortable refuge with excellent service

Comfortable hotel with attentive service. Large grounds, evening dance show, multiple restaurants, lap swimming pool. If you want a refuge from busy streets and traffic, it’s a good place to have some quiet, and stretch your legs in comfort. I hope to go back soon

We enjoyed our stay there but the Hotel did seem quite quiet and overrun by staff ! The Hotel itself was a little old fashioned and the bathrooms especially reflected this.

The grounds were very beautiful, spacious and very well kept. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. The buildings are in need of some repairs. Many of the roofs had shingles coming off and leaking water, our block of rooms lost hot water for a day. The water coming out of the tap had some rust in it, before and after the boiler malfunction. My room hadn’t changed at all since my last trip here 10 years ago. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Rooms and bathrooms are very old and need total overhaul. Very less vegetarian options. Do not stay here as you would waste your money. They pretend online and otherwise they are full but rarely see any room occupants or movement. Extremely expensive room and food prices are mind boggling. When you order anything at restaurants, you will get it atleast after 30 minutes..

Safari Park hotel is one of the safest hotels with professionally pleasant staff. From the Gardner’s to the supervisors, every employee was helpful and pleasant to assist staff. Knowing that there is good lighting and securities in the compound of the hotel made me feel safe to leave the restaurants at night and walk to my room . Very satisfied with my stay.

The grounds are absolutely breathtaking which make up for the rooms which are average. The staff seemed overwhelmed by the conferences that were occurring. They accommodated the lack of ironing boards by pressing our items which was perfect! There was no low fat milk at the coffee bar (or nondairy options) and after a 15 minute wait apparently none in the entire hotel. Also, we upgraded for a 4th guest to stay in our \"suite.\" We received the most terrible, dirty cot you could imagine with a paper thin mattress. We just double up in the small beds.

The property is NOT suited to white people, we were made to feel very unwelcome and when we complained about the service to our embarrassment the Manager ticked off members of staff in front of us, very uncomfortable situation, breakfast first 2 mornings at 9am we were unable to get butter for toast, waited 20 minutes or longer for coffee as conference guests clearly took priority as at the poolside awaiting towels and loungers, 500 shillings for a tennis ball - every item was an additional cost, 50% discount on breakfast for one morning was received but with 2 children it was not about the finances it was about having breakfast and an enjoyable stay, having visited in particular Nairobi and stayed at various hotels this was shockingly a dreadful experience, never ever again - City Hilton for example provides by far a top service with a lovely warm pool and the staff exceptional unlike I am sad to say with the Safari Park Hotel

The hotel is situated in a beautiful park, it has swimming pools, which I haven't tried, several restaurants of which one works around the clock. Staff are very ncie and service in general was good. The room was very big, with a nice balcony overlooking the park, good amenities and comfortable bed with mosquito netting. The hotel has a rustic feel, and overall is very charming, a green oasis outside of Nairobi.

Excellent Hotel - Read The Following...

This is an excellent hotel. It has 5 restaurants, shopping, pools and very good service. The rooms are clean, nice and have porches/balconies. It is a great place to stay before/after Safari and/or to have a professional or social function - as this is very common at this hotel. They have the setup and facilities for a successful event. My only caution would be that the hotel is a good 30-90 minutes from town - and with heavy traffic it can take longer to get to the City Centre. A trip there and back could cost up to 4,000SH. Thus, it's not the best place to stay if you have to go into town every day, but it is a very comfortable stay for other reasons as noted.

Wonderful oasis

The Hotel Safari Park is indeed an oasis, away from noisy Nairobi centre. The only problem is the roadconstruction which is taking forever, and in the night/ dark the road is not always safe due to incompetent drivers. Even at 05.00 am the ride back to the airport is dangerous. For the rest the hotel is highly recommendable to everyone

This will not be my last stay at this hotel.

This was one of the best hotels I have ever stayed at. With Nairobi being a cautious place to be, in way of safety and confort, this hotel makes you believe you are in a different enviroment. In addition to the wonderful and friendly employees, they have a doctor that will make \"room calls\" if you are not feeling well FREE. I couldn't believe it because my husband became sick and the doctor was there within 30 minutes of me calling. The restaurants were wonderful, the free breakfast was out of this world, and we lacked nothing while staying there. I would be a spokesman for this hotel any day of the week. We loved it and can't wait until we return.

Unique African Experience.

It is more of an experience than a hotel. From the spacious lobby to the well kept grounds it exudes African luxury. The staff is friendly and helpful. However, it is not handicap friendly and anyone with difficulty walking may find access to the excellent restaurant impossible. Rooms are in two story buildings without elevators. It was about two city blocks from my comfortable room (with a balcony overlooking the grounds) to the front desk. The place is ideally suited to seminars and company retreats. The grounds between the lobby and the restaurant are filled with flowers and trees through which water flows down into the swimming pool that sits just in front of the restaurant making a perfect setting for a patio meal or a more formal restaurant setting under a roof, but there is no need for windows. The night I dined there, a trio played a mix of Western and African music. If your legs and ankles are ok, you will love this hotel. Expedia provides a means to pay for your lodging in dollars which can be an advantage. I booked online while in Kenya.

Excellent, but give yourself time to get there and back...

Very nice place - several well-spaced 2-story hotel buildings in a beautiful green setting. No a/c, but I think it's generally cool enough around there to sleep comfortably without it.

However, at the moment (Feb. 2010), there is serious construction on Thika Rd. (between the airport and hotel), and it took over 3 hours to get to the airport for me. I'm told this will be better once the construction is completed.

Can't wait to go back!

I love Safari Park. This is my second stay there within the year and this visit was just as great as the first. All the staff are friendly and always most helpful and accommodating. The grounds are wonderful. It can be quiet and peaceful or full of life - as you choose. The rooms are satisfactory, clean and comfortable. I will always go back and I have recommended Safari Park to my friends. For those who say it is not a five start hotel - it most definitely is, but it depends if you are looking for materialistic or enjoyment and peacefulness.

I was told it was near the airport. It is the farthest hotel from the airport.

I needed an overnight hotel near the airport. Hotel employees said it was very near which is a terrible lie. It is the Nairobi hotel farthest from the airport. It is far from everything. It is a nice hotel for somebody who wants to rest, with gardens and so on.

Not Impressed

The major problem I had with the Hotel was that they did not have heating in the rooms and beleive me the rooms were cold. All they could offer were extra blankets. That would suffice when you are in bed, but what about when you are just chilling in your room on the seats?

Très bien sur le confort et les aménités. Les équipements dans la salle de bain sont un peu ancien et donc, moins bon sur le plan éco-responsable (temp d'attente pour l'eau chaude d'arriver +/- 30-60secs), mais ça fait part de la charme du lieu
