SAROVA STANLEY HONEST REVIEW💯
My name is Rose. Born and raised in Nairobi, Kenya. This is my first time in Sarova Stanley and before I came, I definitely did my research. One thing that stood out to me the most is the fact that, the hotel was formed in 1902 and IS the first ever five star hotel in Nairobi to be in existence:) AMAZING! It is an honor to be part of such a historic, monumental Masterpiece! WOW I want to give a special shoutout to Mr. Sammy, who gave me a historical masterclass on Serena Stanley! Do you know that Sarova is the name of the Stanley brother’s wives first two INITIALS?? SArah, ROSE and … (guess the last one 😉) Thank you Sammy for educating me on the beautiful history, red piano and Ofcourse legendary train🙏🏾❤️ Madam KATE! Thank you! For serving me the BEST cocktail, engaging me in very comfortable, friendly conversations and Ofcourse being my wing woman🙏🏾❤️ I will definitely! definitely! Visit again soon❤️ Stay blessed Sarova Stanley🙏🏾 in Jesus Mighty Name🙏🏾❤️ Ps: They have very AMAZING band music on Fridays ❤️ I’m yet to attend the Wednesday one! 😃 💃🏾 I know I will not be disappointed:)

The Sarova Stanley hotel
The Sarova Stanley is a great and comfortable hotel set in Central Nairobi. It still carries the charm of an older hotel and high service. Their Asian restaurant is is Thai food at its best. The restaurants are also worth a try. The hotels Spa is exceptional and a lady called Rose gave me one of the best massages I have experienced from a world traveller who appreciates a top quality massage . All in all a great hotel to have a lovely stay and very relaxing . I can recommend this hotel and it’s top class Spa. David Leslie
