The hotel is nice, but now to expensive. Sometimes the security not so friendly, the hotel staff more friendly. The breakfast buffet is nice and good. the rooms are clean. But the hotel seems now more open for government und business visitors not for touristic or private travellers. it is a pity. more

Beautiful and well maintained garden. Very helpful and nice staff. Two ingredients to make your stay pleasant and "forget" your business trip !. However a small investment in a sauna would have been most welcomed; particularly so if you hate swimming in a pool ( I prefer the sea) or are too lazy to do some work out in the... more

Staying at Fairview for two months was a wondeful expereince. The staff is extremely helpful and professional, keeping the needs of any visitor. I was impressed by the way everything is set inside a small country place. It was home away from home. more

What's not to like about the Fairview! With courteous and discreet staff, a good choice of restaurants and a superb buffet breakfast, English hotels have a lot to learn about service from this well managed hotel. The security was excellent and unobtrusive. The taxi drivers operating from the hotel were delightful, nothing was too much trouble for them and for... more

They call it an oasis and the Country Hotel in the City, and that's what it is. I stayed in one of the First Class rooms and slept like a baby. It's often fully booked, but this would always be my first choice in Nairobi. The staff are well trained, eager and welcoming, the rooms are a good size, clean... more

Great hotel if you are looking for the basics. Everything is clean, the service is like it should be and everything works in the room. However, not much beyond the basics. After traveling so far to get here, I was a bit sad to find out that there really was not much charm to the hotel. more

We flew in from Tanzania and stayed overnight in this hotel as a result of having our flight back to London cancelled. After the trouble at the beginning of the year, Kenya is not on the UK Foreign Office's love list and we were not quite sure what to expect. We booked this hotel because it was rated No1 by... more

We stayed at the Fairview for 8 days in August. Our room was assigned the"first class" status, and it was. Large room with a spacious bathroom. Very comfortable bed with no complaints. The service was attentive throughout our stay. We often dined at the restaurants within the hotel and found they offered a varied selection of foods. Security was well... more

We loved our stay at the Fairview. We had a full day in Nairobi and this was an excellent place to spend some time and unwind. The buildings on the property are beautiful and the setting is lush, serene and inviting. We arrived very early in the morning and the wonderful staff arranged for us to check in early, but... more

I had stayed at the Fairview in 2005 while on a study tour with 30-hour Famine/World Vision and was very impressed. So when I decided to go back with my own group there was no other choice! We had five females in our group, myself and another adult and three teenagers. I felt totally safe and secure to allow the... more
