The best. I have been coming here for very many years and it only gets better. Very comfortable room, excellent food, beautiful surroundings. I am usually quite critical, but here I keep looking for something to criticize, but I can't find anything. Also, the area is very safe, unlike much of Nairobi. I thoroughly recommend the Fairview. The only problem... More

I really enjoyed my staying at the Fairview: fantastic hotel! I am also very happy with all the staff that I found very welcoming and always ready to help. Nice location, nice food, perfect place to work and relax. Would definitely advise!

This is a hotel within the city that feels like a country lodge. Homely and quiet. The lawns are neat and picturisque. My wife and I stayed here for one night in the first class room, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very nice with a lot of variety. The lounges were relaxing. The interior gives... More

Unfortunately i did not had the possibility to sleep here but only to spend a day and have dinner here. When you enter the hotel you can walk through to the swimming pool at the back of the hotel. Here you have a restaurant at the swimmingpool. The staff at the restaurant is very friendly and they will serve you... More

It is situated on Upper Hill and convient to business and government offices. Once you go through the gate you enter an isolated world away from the noise of the streets. Friendly and usually helpful staff. Did not get the business room requested and economy room was small but clean and adequate (not exciting) Good restaurants on premises. 10am checkout... More

I've visited Fairview Hotel 3 times, and there's no place I'd rather stay in Nairobi. The hotel and grounds are beautiful, and the environment instills a sense of relaxation and low-key comfort. The staff are extremely professional, friendly and capable. The common areas are very open and filled with plants. The rooms are not fancy but are very clean, comfortable... More

The Fairview Hotel in the Embassy Region of Nairobi is a great paradise of greenery and gardens amidst the hustle and bustle of the city center. Security here is very strict but that makes visitors and tourists feel safe. I would hasten to suggest this is the safest hotel to stay when visiting Nairobi. The grounds are fantastic for a... More

Have just completed a two week stay here while my husband was working. This is our first visit back after twenty years, we loved the Fairview then, and we love it even more now. There are lots of rooms, but thoughtfully positioned so there is always an intimate small hotel feeling. The staff are all utterly delightful and friendly. Breakfast... More

A businessman should look no further. The Fairview is good value for money and offers not only top security which makes for peace of mind, but also offers all amenities from outside garden and poolside facilities with fair privacy, a first class meeting room, business centre, conference centres, Wi-Fi in all rooms, and a variety of rooms from first class...
