We have stayed at the Fairview many times over the past two years. We have lived in Western Kenya on and off and whenever we are in Nairobi we can't wait to stay here! The staff make the experience wonderful, the ground and pool are well maintained and the food is DELICIOUS! Oh yeah and the rooms are amazing for... more

we have just had our second stay at the Fairview and given some negative commenst by others feel compelled to write a second review. We found the hotel excellent - rooms are not of your american chain standard but are very comfortable and clean and the whole place has a great colonnial atmosphere. There is free wi-fi in the rooms... more

My daughter was somewhat apprehensive of Africa and Nairobi in particular. Making the Fairview anyone’s introduction to Nairobi is a sure way to set aside these types of apprehensions. From the minute you pull into the parking lot, you know you are in a very safe environment. We stayed the night before and night after safari. The breakfast buffet was... more

I have been lucky enough to stay is some of the best hotels in the World and this hotel is definitely unusual for a city hotel. Lovely peaceful grounds, several restaurants, Pago's was excellent if quiet. Very secure. Nice change from a chain hotel. Only negative comments would be that breakfast is a little over priced for Nairobi and especially... more

I stayed here for just a night during a layover in Nairobi before heading north to Lewa Wildlife Conservancy for work.

The freelance driver they tapped... more

My wife, sister and I stayed here for a couple of days before joining up with a safari tour. Our flight arrived at 7 pm and their man was there at the airport to pick us up and bring us to the hotel. The restaurants have both ambience and good food, at a remarkably reasonable price. Rooms are spacious, clean,... more

The Fairview is a very nice hotel. The atmosphere is great as well as the sevice at coffeeshop and pool restaurant. They have the best coffee in town. The breakfast buffet is outstanding! Rooms do not really match the reseption and restaurants ambience, but are simple, clean and comfortable. Security is excellent. We would definitely stay at the Fairview again... more

First night's layover was wanting in accommodations. Yes, airport pickup was prompt and location was secure and convenient to Wilson's airport, but room's shower was broken (hot water dripping when turned on) and no complimentary shampoo in room (apparently liquid soap pump in shower was also the shampoo). Perhaps because I reserved the single room? instead of an executive suite... more

Great hotel - good service, atmsphere, facilities. Best breakfast buffet I've ever had and the pool restaurant is good. The only downside is the supposedly upmarket Pango - the food was poorly executed - over-cooked and far too rich. more
