I recently stayed at Sarova Stanley Nairobi and, unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing. The room had a persistent, unpleasant smell a mix of mold and food that made the stay uncomfortable. Even more concerning was the conduct of some staff members, who showed a lack of respect toward people of colour and treated guests in a prejudiced manner. This is unacceptable in any hospitality environment, especially from a property of this standing. Sadly, based on this experience, I will not be returning.

Great hotel... very friendly and efficient staff. Chefs were all excellent - especially for my 3 egg omelettes @thorntree restaurant! Great fun with the barstaff of The Exchange Bar. Overall.... a perfect break for me and I'll be back as soon as l get the chance. HughB

It was the first time in a Thai restaurant and we enjoyed it so much: it was fantastic! Alex granted us an excellent experience, thank you!

I stayed at this hotel, before going out to Maasai Mara and also when I came back to fly home. The staff were absolutely incredible! They couldn't have been more helpful, they even allowed me into the room at 9am as I had flown in early in the morning. I would highly recommend you staying here. Many thanks to Paul, Albert and Jaqaline for your help and assistance whilst there. I look forward to returning!

Had a wonderful dining experience at Thai Chi Restaurant, Sarova. The food was absolutely delicious we had the Goong Prik Thai Dam, and it was bursting with rich, bold flavors. Truly a standout dish! Service was exceptional, with Alex taking great care of us throughout. Attentive, warm, and professional. The ambience was equally impressive. Elegant, calm, and beautifully styled, it made for a perfect setting to enjoy a relaxing meal. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Thai cuisine in a serene and classy environment. Will definitely be back!
