The Stanley sits on a busy corner junction in the centre of Nairobi. They had a limousine waiting for me from the airport that took around 25 minutes just at the start of the rush hour. Once I arrived the charming Indian receptionist made the check-in process friendly and quick, and made sure I got a strictly non-smoking room. Unlike many hotels they seem to have about 6 - 8 staff on duty,so you should not wait long. I think other hotels should send their reception staff here for training, these guys are the best.
My room 402 was just stunning, spacious clean and tastefully decorated, a kind of modern take on the colonial look, the free internet worked better than my last stay in Kenya and the large desk helped me finish off my presentation. One comment, the bed was the hardest I have ever slept on, but I like hard beds so that was fine.
Breakfast in the downstairs restaurant was good with chefs to cook your eggs any way you wished with a good selection of the usual English and continental options. I used room service once and the food arrived quickly was hot and good quality.
My only complaint is that my visit was only for 24 hours, in this time the Stanley and its highly professional and friendly staff made me feel "King For a Day"!
Thank you ......
