The Boma Nairobi had everything I needed. The bathroom had options for a quick shower, and a deep bath- which for me, as someone who is big on self-care really loves. Next, the buffet option for breakfast, lunch or dinner, provides one with several options of what to eat. Next, the staff members are very professional and peasant. Lastly, the security protocol is worth mentioning, because you go through a check, similar to the TSA at an airport, which for me, was really cool. I would want this experience over and over, and can't wait to bring our partners to Kenya, to have such a luxurious experience! Best, Bisola-Mariam (Founder and CEO, ideyforyou).

The staff was great but that hotel needs some TLC. The property is old AC kept needing to be reset the worst wifi I experienced in my life . A great staff can’t help with those shortfalls. They are in need of a major upgrade. And try to get an IT department that helps with the WiFi issues.

Top quality room in every way except no microwave. That didn't matter to me because I was not willing to go shopping without a escort of some kind. Breakfast buffet was excellent but expensive at $24. I would prefer an a la carte option because I'm a light eater.
