The Country Lodge is modern, very clean, comfortable, and friendly. Although its in-house food and drink options are limited (the only meal served is a very nice custom-cooked breakfast), it's adjacent to Kenya's oldest and nicest hotel, the Fairview Park, and Country Lodge guests are invited to use the Fairview's restaurants, bars, and other facilities. The Country Lodge's staff are... More

I stayed at the Country Lodge for 3 nights following an assignment in the villages. This is a very good hotel for someone traveling through Nairobi or there on business. It is very secure. They have a good breakfast bar where they will cook eggs to order and a good variety of other breakfast foods. While they don't have an... More

I have come to Nairobi for some 25 years. Many hotels I stayed in were dilapidated and overpriced with indifferent (or worse) staff. The Country Lodge was therefore a pleasant surprise, as it is the exact opposite. Clean, In perfect condition. Breakfast excellent. Everything works. Staff friendly, helpful and efficient, but without unnecessary luxuries such as marble lobbies. Strongly recommended.... More

I just stayed here for one night. Very similar experience to other reviewers. Small rooms but really well thought out so did not feel at all claustrophobic e.g. desk overlooking window... great plugs....good internet, small business centre. Very helpful staff. Beds are single plus but the sheets and bedding are great... Feel very soft and smooth. The hotel next door,... More

Despite the name that suggests pastoral pleasures, the Country Lodge is perfectly functional and ideal for the business traveler. We have an office in Nairobi and are regular users of the hotel. In my 4 or 5 visits I have never had an issue. The rooms are are not lavish, but comfortable and everything works. Breakfast is not luxurious, but... More

I don't know why it has taken me so long to write this review as I have already stayed here 6 or 7 times. Apart from being unbelievable value in monetary terms, someone has taken great care to consider what the business traveller requires. The rooms are small but very well thought out with all the right plugs in the... More

Breakfast was ok but very cramped upstairs, luggage room is a nightmare as is the ironing room but other than that a lovely hotel, rooms are superb quality and good views of hotel next door and there pool More

In contrast with its next door neighbour and relation, the Fairview, this hotel has little character. But is it clean and is efficient. Individual rooms have an almost dormitory like feel. Strange to have the washbasin in your room rather than in the bathroom which could have been better designed to include the washbasin. Very limited room service with lunch... More

I always stay here. The prices are reasonable. The rooms are spotless. The shower is a power shower. They have great linens. The service staff are nice and efficient. The breakfast is good. It's central... what's not to like? Sure, its a bit basic, but hotel rooms in NBO are not cheap (and usually not very clean) so this is... More
