Adequate hotel – slightly shabby but clean Good location – short stroll to downtown during the day but route passes Uhuru Park so best not walked at night according to guide books. Nice bar terrace area. Breakfast buffet was good spread of usual stuff with odd local dish. Don't understand the previous negative comments on it. Generally friendly & helpful... more

We stayed there at the beginning of our safari and at the end. It was fine for a short stay, nothing spectacular but more than adequate for staying pre and post safari. Given the prices of hotels in NBO, it is a "reasonable" value. Some rooms are bigger than others. There is no air conditioning at the hotel. They offered... more

This is a very modest hotel, with service being its saving grace. Like most hotels in Kenya, you can expect good security from the moment you enter the gates, with security guards present on every floor of the hotel as well. The lobby is quite small, but sufficient, with a small waiting area. The hotel is quite old in its... more

We ended up at the Panafric after a canceled flight. The hotel offers affordable (although not cheap) rooms in a very quiet and almost scenic part of Nairobi. Only a short distance from downtown. more

I had never been treated so nicely but then arrived to my room and was unable to rest because of a very uncomfortable beds and no air circulation in the rooms... I would recommend to use this if its the last option of one night in Nairobi. If they change some of the room accomodations I would return in a... more

We only stayed at the hotel for an evening and a bit of sleep, prior to flying back to the UK in the morning. However, we found the hotel, having been described to us as budget, was very nice, with friendly staff, a complimentary bottle of wine as they'd found out we were on our honeymoon, and a great restaurant... more

Great staff, especially Joseph the driver that picked us up from the Airports and Askari the guard. Hortencia in the restaurant is a an excellent hostess. The hotel is clost to being refurbished, despite this we had a comfortable stay. more

I would like to say we felt very safe in this hotel as there was a guard on each floor. We arrived in Nairobi on an independat trip- during what was a very troublesome time for Kenya,. The flame trees restaurant which we visited on 3 consecutive nights we found rather expensive, but then we were on holiday after all!My... more

We stayed at this hotel prior to going on Safari and found it to be OK. Checked for bed bugs after reading an earlier review but the matresses looked brand new and no evidence of bugs. Yes the place has problems - slow and disorganised check in but the rooms are OK - three star standard and the pizzas are... more
