Haven of quiet, comfort, elegance and kindness amidst the hustle and bustle of downtown Nairobi: The Sarova Stanley is an amazing hotel. It is a beautiful building, immaculately maintained, thoroughly modern, yet with the feel of a world-class, historic hotel. The Thai Chi restaurant is exceptional for the quality of the food and the ambience, and the breakfast buffet, especially featuring local dishes on Friday mornings, is wonderful. The best part though is the hotel staff: warm and welcoming Hospitality Professionals, knowledgeable about their mission, proud of what they do, and determined to provide an excellent level of customer service and experience. I recommend this special place unconditionally - and plan to return!

The staff are awesome and so professional. They were all so attentive especially Catherine the bar manager on the 5th floor. She made my dining experience extra special by recommending several delicious choices from the menu. This was my second stay in three years and I would stay there again. My only criticism is the air conditioning in my room was weak (the blower output at a low CFM) and almost at room temperature. I experienced the same thing my first visit. Other than that it is a fine establishment with excellent food. They make you feel at home

The Sarova Stanley hotel was an absolute delight! We spent a night here, eagerly anticipating our morning connection via Safarilink. Our stay could have been even longer, but it was so great that we didn’t want it to end. Raechel and Paul, our friendly staff, went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. They helped us check in a bit past midnight, even though it was a bit late. They also created a wake-up call to ensure we had enough time to grab breakfast before our 6:45 am departure. We’ll definitely make it a point to stay here again on our next visit.

Our stay at the Sarova Stanley was great. The staff was helpful and thoughtful. For example, a team member saw me walking in the hall in socks, briefly and provided slippers. The decor gives a sense of its colonial roots and the restaurants offer a great variety of Kenyan, South Asian and other cuisine. The bathrooms could use an update. The only major complaint was getting someone to get phone working. I had to text a manager to assist after 3 verbal requests. Despite this, a lovely hotel in a fascinating city.

Hotel Asking me for Extra Charge for Late Checkout

I have been staying in this Hotel since 1999. At one point of time I had given them a contract from my local company, for minimum 100 room nights in a year. This was probably in 2002-2005.
Now-a-days I fly from DELHI through Air India and flight reaches there at 6:30 PM and thus I check-in at about 8:00 PM.
My return flight timing is 08:00 PM from Nairobi. When I asked them for a Late check-out at 2:00 PM (instead of normal check-out time of 11:00 AM), the person at the hotel reception tells me after confirming from his seniors over the phone, it will cost me extra.

If that is the behaviour of the hotel, where I have been staying since 25+ years, I would rather change the hotel. Incidentally, I was staying in a club room.

Pretty good stay v

Overall it was a very nice stay, excellent breakfast and very friendly staff. But three issues: 1) as per our Hotels.com booking we were to each receive one free drink per stay, but we didn’t and were never offered; 2) Amin as per Hotels.com we were to perhaps get a late checkout, but they denied our request for an extra 30 minutes; and 3) there was made available free drinking water but the bottles we basically impossible to open; I even cut my finger trying when the bottle top actually broke off (which happened two times). Then when requesting more drinking water it took ages to come.

Good but maybe not quite worth the price

All in all it is a very nice hotel with excellent service although at a very high price point I perhaps expected a little more. In the sauna/steam bath area i appreciate that you have people constantly cleaning in there, but perhaps they can pause whilst people are actually using the facilities because it is very disturbing. Five star hotels should not have a youth hostel 11:00 check out time, although you kindly accommodated me with a late checkout (but you have to ask). The majority of the staff are very nice.
