We had one night in Nairobi before we headed out on safari. I have to say I don't really know how this hotel deserves the title "One of the World's Leading Hotels". Whilst it's not bad it's not great either. The Serena lodges we stayed at on safari were fantastic but I felt this was not in their league. The... more

We had one night in the Serena but wished we had stayed longer. We had a large room that was spotlessly clean. The staff were all very friendly and efficient.

We stayed at the Serena for 1 night at the start of our safari. It is a good place to recuperate after a long flight. After a mix-up with our room booking (we were given rooms for our young children that were not next to each other), the problem was sorted. In the mean time we were given another room... more
