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 cheerfully presented and adequate. The conference room is not large, but handles 8 to 10 people. Service is not overdone, but is there when needed. Location is close enough to everything, but requires a taxi ride.
The main attraction is its next-door proximity to the Farview Hotel, a real country lodge, with its campus of restaurants, bars, pool and leather lounges - and 50% higher prices. Stay at the Country Lodge and meet your visitors at the Fairview, I know I do.
