I arrived late evening into the chaotic Jomo Kenyatta International Airport after a long flight and caught a taxi to the Fairview. Into the rather spartan Economy room after enjoying a Tusker beer at the poolside bar. Pleasant and quiet sleep. The next morning I walked around the hotel and five acres of garden and marvelled at how one family... More

The room was nothing special but clean. The hotel in general is quite big and you should definitely not come here if you look for something cosy and very personal service. The reservation process was cumbersome as it works via e-mail. I had to write to them twice before I got an answer if there was room. Then I had... More

Absolutely first class. Set on a hilltop in beautiful gardens, Nairobi’s two airports and downtown are all within easy reach. Excellent staff, spacious rooms with wifi free and fast. Oversize bathrooms immaculately clean. Enormous breakfasts and a lovely pool. What more could one possibly ask for? More

We always stay at this hotel when we first arrive in Nairobi before our onward adventures. We have tried a couple of others but somehow they don't match up. The character of this place is charming, the fact that this is a hands on family business is evident in the attention to detail travellers are treated to in terms of... More

Stayed here at this wonderful property on 25th january prior to our 8 day safari tour and it was amazing. It was good to come to a property after a long flight that just has alot of greenery and comfort. Food was great, breakfast was amazing, what a spread! There was free internet connection and we could always stay tune... More

I have stayed at the Fairview on each of my six trips to Kenya over the past 9 years and it has only gotten better and better in my opinion. The security has been increased, the landscaping helps you feel like you're in a country oasis, the service is excellent, the food very good. I really enjoyed the outside patio... More

Cannot recommend this hotel high enough if you are planning on staying in Nairobi on business. Only problem is it gets fully booked quite quickly as its reputation has been there for years and it's well know as a good hotel. More

We stayed in a first- class room and it was spacious and over-looked the garden. It would have been peaceful but at the moment there is a lot of building work going on beside the hotel. I needed to shut out the noise with my iPod when I sunbathed on the deck above the pool. The pool is large, clean... More

Great environment and ambiance, the hospitality of the staff was great. Rates are all inclusive and inluding WIFI. Quality of food is good. Most reviews already talks about the pluses.... am listing the minus to give a omplete perspective. - Definitely not cheap - One soap was the only toilet toiletry provided for the 3 day stay, so business travellers...
