"Nice hotel with a cozy lounge and great staff. Will stay there again. I would love a shoehorn in the room."

"It seemed like this place just opened and was not ready for guests, but they did not have power when I arrived, which was a big let down after traveling from the US for over a day. They also didn't have internet for a while, until they got power back and after I asked. Not a bad place, maybe it'll get better with time. The food and service was good! "

"房子坐落在内罗华的富人区，那一片全是大院子，人少车少很安静，有天早上出门，在院子里遇见好几只猴子。房东夫妇人不错，向我们详细介绍了房子各处及周边情况，入住的房子是院子里其中一幢，房东住在另一幢。我住那个房间比较大，有卫生间，和一个大阳台，整体不错，但洗澡时热水有点不稳定。周边没有公共交通，uber很方便，要用国际版的uberAPP，中国版的不能用。"

5/5 Excellent

Good service during troubled times

"Beautiful old hotel in downtown Nairobi. The suite was excellent. The lounge is great. The hotel helped us get to the airport when downtown was hit with the Gen Z protests. "

"Ibid Styles Nairobi remains a great value though the some changes are for the better - additional seating areas for the ground floor restaurant - and some are worse - enclosing all outdoor spaces that were previously open, such as the rooftop areas (why?) and even ones on the ground floor. The good: The beds are still comfortable enough though harder since I suspect they no longer use the Heavenly Mattress. The sheets are crisp and clean, the staff very attentive, the general decor of the rooms and public spaces make the hotel inviting. It appears that management does not pay attention to detail: There was water dripping from the ceiling in the main restaurant, the main floor men’s room could have someone fix fixtures, dings and bumps around the hotel, things that a walkthrough with a checklist would solve. Even though a painting and other maintenance is underway, rather than disguising materials as would be done in the rich economies, junk is easily seen on the mezzanine level. Why is a third-world standard being used? Stop letting the staff down."

"It was a wonderful stay. The staff were super friendly and professional, including the concierge folks and housekeeping. Notably, Joshua, Mary and Miriam, in the dining room room and John were amazing. Our room was rather small, but still very comfortable and clean. We really enjoyed the spa treatment as well and the dining breakfast options were amazing and I appreciate it that they had vegan options for myself. We will definitely come back for future trip trips. "

"Anyone who stays at Hemmigways, Karen, Nairobi will not be disappointed. The property is often used as a pre or post safari hotel. But I used it as my destination resort in its own right & I was thrilled with everything, especially the kind & thoughtful attention from all the staff. Highly recommended."
