Nice hotel, lousy management
Great location - nice and central but sadly avoid any rooms near the event space. I'm the middle of a meeting and a 6 night stay and whooooommmp, Dufft,Dufft a huge PA rig starts up with no notice in advance. Absolutely deafening in the room (110) Management moved me but not willing and no prompt response.

Our Radisson Blue Stay in Nairobi.
We enjoyed our stay here. The staff at the restaurants and room service were excellent. Price at the restaurant a bit expensive. However, I was shocked when the front desk asked to withhold $1,000.00 for incidentals. I have paid the hotel stay already but, they needed to withhold $1,000. I have never seen this anywhere in the world.

I was disappointed the hotel failed to pick me up despite the fact that I had communicated the flight change and cancellation. It is not OK in this day and age with the multiplicity of apps and flight tracking capability for the hotel of that standing to mishandle airport transfer.

This hotel is very conveniently located to all the restaurants we enjoyed. The breakfast buffet offers fresh fruit, veggies, chef made omelettes, a wide assortment of pastries and smoothies. The workout room is sufficient with weights and a few treadmills. The huge pool is warm and very visible on the dining floor. We loved it. I highly recommend this hotel.

We absolutely LOVED this property so much that we cancelled our stay at a different hotel to come back to this one! All of the staff were absolutely incredible. The attention to detail from setting up a surprise in our room for our honeymoon, to remember our names and recommending areas to go. Incredible time.
