I have come to Nairobi for some 25 years. Many hotels I stayed in were dilapidated and overpriced with indifferent (or worse) staff. The Country Lodge was therefore a pleasant surprise, as it is the exact opposite. Clean, In perfect condition. Breakfast excellent. Everything works. Staff friendly, helpful and efficient, but without unnecessary luxuries such as marble lobbies. Strongly recommended.... More

I just stayed here for one night. Very similar experience to other reviewers. Small rooms but really well thought out so did not feel at all claustrophobic e.g. desk overlooking window... great plugs....good internet, small business centre. Very helpful staff. Beds are single plus but the sheets and bedding are great... Feel very soft and smooth. The hotel next door,... More

Despite the name that suggests pastoral pleasures, the Country Lodge is perfectly functional and ideal for the business traveler. We have an office in Nairobi and are regular users of the hotel. In my 4 or 5 visits I have never had an issue. The rooms are are not lavish, but comfortable and everything works. Breakfast is not luxurious, but... More

I don't know why it has taken me so long to write this review as I have already stayed here 6 or 7 times. Apart from being unbelievable value in monetary terms, someone has taken great care to consider what the business traveller requires. The rooms are small but very well thought out with all the right plugs in the... More

Breakfast was ok but very cramped upstairs, luggage room is a nightmare as is the ironing room but other than that a lovely hotel, rooms are superb quality and good views of hotel next door and there pool More

In contrast with its next door neighbour and relation, the Fairview, this hotel has little character. But is it clean and is efficient. Individual rooms have an almost dormitory like feel. Strange to have the washbasin in your room rather than in the bathroom which could have been better designed to include the washbasin. Very limited room service with lunch... More

I always stay here. The prices are reasonable. The rooms are spotless. The shower is a power shower. They have great linens. The service staff are nice and efficient. The breakfast is good. It's central... what's not to like? Sure, its a bit basic, but hotel rooms in NBO are not cheap (and usually not very clean) so this is... More

I was booked into this hotel mainly for its cost. On paper it has all the assets - free internet, breakfast with the room, security (near the Israeli embassy), access to dinner (next to the Fairview Hotel), TV, etc. Its a pretty little thing from the outside. Rather than using a lot of security personnel, you start by going through... More

My second stay here. The rooms are fine and the price is good, but on this visit I had no hot water in the shower, both in the evening and the next morning. Also do NOT accept room 617, which is on the second floor directly over the front door. The only ventilation is via open windows and the noise... More

Thank you very much for your feedback. I was disappointed to learn that you did not have a comfortable stay with us due to lack of hot water in the room and noise from outside. As we do not believe in charging for services not enjoyed, I have refunded the room charge of Ksh 11,400/- to the Mastercard you used... More
