I traveled to Nairobi, where I was picked up by a staff from hotel. Stayed at the Troy hotel for two weeks. I had plenty of dishes to choose from. The staff checked on me to make sure I was comfortable. I was greeted going out and coming in. I was asked what would I like for breakfast the next morning. This experience was delightful being a single traveler. I recommend Troy hotel. It gave a family friendly atmosphere.

It seemed like this place just opened and was not ready for guests, but they did not have power when I arrived, which was a big let down after traveling from the US for over a day. They also didn't have internet for a while, until they got power back and after I asked. Not a bad place, maybe it'll get better with time. The food and service was good!

We were so disappointed in the Hotel Troy, we left after one night. Many things were broken in my room, there were ants crawling all over the floor. The staff were very pleasant but way too few, so service was quite poor. Tea at breakfast the next morning took one hour to receive. I tried numerous times through emails and phone calls to speak with hotel management but still have not heard back from anyone regarding my concerns. I hope they'll do better! It's a pretty property.

The cottage room was nice and pretty, with a little common area with couches and a kitchenette. The double room on the other side, not so much. Very hard to sleep because of the dogs barking or wimping most of the night and very basic room.
The place is sadly run down, garden might have been beautiful in the past but could use some maintenance and the dining room is cold and unfriendly. Food was not the best we had. Still a good option if you just want a room to sleep and don’t want to spend too much. This is also conveniently located next to the elephant orphanage, the giraffe center and Nairobi National Park.

We were a group of 10 staying in 2 cottages and the staff very gladly accommodated by putting an extra bed in each cottage. It was clean and comfortable.

Hotel Troy in the famous Karen neighborhood

Hotel Troy has many options as a safe yet secluded seeming spot in the famous Karen neighborhood of Out of Africa fame. It's an easy, quick, and beautiful walk past a plant nursery to the Galleria shopping mall.
The room offered at a base-rate of about $50 US was simple and comfortable. The cottage suites at a higher rate are lovely. The food was okay and not expensive. The friendly staff and owners make Hotel Troy special. Everyone is helpful and welcoming.

NOT RECOMMENDED

I DO NOT RECOMMEND this hotel due to the fact money (Totaling £150) was taken from our double locked room (No safe provided in the room) while we were downstairs having breakfast on our first morning, where the staff were happy to engage us in conversation. I did notice a cleaning cloth left in the room on our return from breakfast but didn't think anything of it as we had planned to go out immediately after breakfast. I did not notice the stolen money until check out the next morning when paying the Safari company we had booked. I have contacted the hotel regarding this matter. They claim no entered the room or took the money. I know this is not the case.

A Little Gem

I loved this little hotel on the edge of Nairobi National Park. It has a friendly, comfortable atmosphere; rooms with big beds, phone, wi-fi, tv and large en suite shower rooms - all the essentials for modern life, without unnecessary frills. It is a pretty group of buildings at the end of a long, tree-shaded private lane off a main Nairobi highway. There is a quiet, pretty garden and a little swimming pool and the staff are cheerful and helpful. I was not up to eating much, so the chef made me a delicious chicken broth specially. Inexpensive and friendly, this is the perfect place from which to recover from a long arrival flight, or to relax after the dusty excitement and bumpy explorations of safari for a day, or two before departure.

A bit different than the photos

Both the room and the pool were quite a bit smaller than they are made to look in the photos. The staff was super nice and accommodating. When we mentioned that the photo on the internet showed a small table and chairs in the room but this room did not have one, they brought a table and chairs for us. The cottages they have look quite lovely and much larger, but also much more expensive. The beds were a bit hard. The dinner service was very slow, but breakfast was very good with excellent service - a very nice buffet. If you want a reasonably priced place with a good breakfast and don't mind basic, this is a good place.

Don't bother booking here, it's a nightmare !

Absolutely ABYSMAL hotel which I could not bear to stay in, thereby losing the full 2 nights' payment.

It was dilapidated, sink blocked, drab, unkempt, mildewy-smelling and in no way inviting.
From a distance the pool looked as if water would be unsafe to swim in.
Booked in, booked right back out. Had looked at supposedly the best rooms and each was awful and unclean.

The hotel location is absolutely great situated just next to nairobi national park! Staff were very friendly. The security staff were very helpful in calling the taxi and directing them to the hotel as we had to check out in the middle of the night to go to airport!

One key suggestion is to have the hotel name signposted visibly & clearly on the main road. We had a tough time finding it as the signpost is pretty small and easily missed out even during day time.. at night the local taxi guys also had problems finding the hotel.

Hotel that can give you nightmares.

The cottage I booked was very poorly maintained. bathrooms were in horrible conditions with missing hot water facility. No staff at reception till 0630 am for help. At 630 am, on complain, other bathroom on other cottage was opened for us to take bath. The bathroom was stinking and to adjust hot-cold water knob one had to be more than 7 and half feet tall. proceeded to our destination without bath. On returning back, we requested for rooms rather than the cottage and we got them but the conditions were the same. Rooms were too small to even keep your baggage and walk around and bathrooms were same as in the cottages. Expedia must remove this hotel from its list, otherwise more families like mine would suffer in future.

Good hotel close to city centre & National Park

On arrival we found the hotel to appear very pleasant looking set in beautiful gardens, small pool and in a good state of repair. Security was very high, and although the road access was a little bumpy, it was conveniently just off a main road, but far enough not to get traffic noise. The hotel was set on its own in a cul-de-sac.

The room was however disappointing. While clean and presentable, it was extremely small and dark. The queen bed virtually filled the room and there was no room to sit at the table that was included. There was no view out, and the TV could not be viewed from the bed due to posts and beams being in the way.

Staff were pleasant, food was good, but service for food could be very, very slow. We waited over 1 1/2 hours for a pot of tea to be delivered to our room and meals always took well over 1 hour.

Overall, I have stayed in far better and bigger rooms for far less, but the location makes it acceptable and a convenient place to stay if you want to access city centre, National Park, mall Galleria, or Bomas which are all within a 5 minute taxi ride.

I was travelling back from Molo, and stayed at this hotel for a week from Christmas Eve.
I enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The water was not warm when i tried, was moved into another room straight away.
The staff were very attentive to their guest needs, and i like the fact that nothing was too hard for them to do for you.
The area was quiet enough for you to relax, and the security was good for you to feel safe. Good location for the locate shopping mall and to some of the touristy things.
I enjoyed the fact that they were able to arrange tours etc, i think that they could promote it abit more, (or perhaps i did not see it) so when i asked, it was arranged.
All in all i enjoyed my stay, i would recommend this hotel to friends and family

Fair for the price

At the price, it's difficult to be too critical. The shower was very poor, as others have found, and the TV did not work, though I was promised a repair which did not happen. Food is only just average but the staff were pleasant enough. A big help by the hotel driver, as he did put himself out when I had a long and urgent visit to Nairobo. Hotel is rather isolated which for security reasons is a plus. The ten minute walk to the local up market shopping centre is a bit difficult, with no path to use, and definitely not recommended after dark. Shopping centre has supermarket, ATM and bank
I would recommend this place, if only for the price, especially those on a budget
