We travelled to Niarobi in October to hold an International Meeting (16 of us) and stayed in the Fairview Hotel. It felt safe and had a very relaxed atmosphere. The food was outstanding and the staff were remarkably helpful and friendy. I would highly reccomend this hotel for both business and pleasure!! more

I just completed a 4 night stay (on business) at the Fairview. This hotel thoroughly deserves its place as one of the top reviewed hotels in Nairobi. Let me start by stating that I paid about $100 (8600 shillings) per night for an economy single. That's a good $100 or more cheaper than most of the other decent hotels in... more

While on safari in the Serengeti, my husband was taken ill and flown to Nairobi Hospital. Once admitted to the hospital and receiving care, I asked his physician if he could recommend a place for me to stay so I could be close to the hospital. The physician recommended the Fairview Hotel and made a call to secure a room... more

I stayed at the Fairview while my daughter was recovering from an illness. I initially stayed at the Nairobi Hilton and moved to the Fairview based on a very favourable recommendation from my daughter's doctor, who frequents the Pango restaurant within the hotel for lunch. Reception staff were very sensitive to my daughter's plight and made sure that we had... more

I have not slept in a bed the size in my room at Fairview in 40 years.

Great relaxing atmosphere where one can unwinde from the hustle and bustle of Nairobi. Friendly, attentive staff. 5 restaurants with a good selection of tasty food. Fantastic garden and pool area. Comfortable room. Cant find a reasson for staying anywhere else when in Nairobi more

Hotel in pleasant setting although it took us 1 and half hours to/from airport. Food was poor, my husband sent his steak back because it was so tough and he could'nt get his knife through it. The replaced one was not much better and tasted peculiar!! I had grilled fish and chips and the fish was overcooked. Breakfast was disappointing... more

The Fairview is a beautiful hotel with great amenities and good service. It is extremely well organized for people who come for business, with an excellent work place in each room (good lighting, comfortable chair, large desk!), and also provides just the right kind of relaxing environment for a little down time (at the pool, on of the restaurants or... more
