Wonderful stay for first time in Kenya!
I had a wonderful stay in Novotel Nairobi. It was centrally located in the Westlands neighborhood and near lots of restaurants, nightlife and shopping. It was easy to get uber as well. The service was great and the rooftop restaurant was a vibe on the weekend. The rooms were big and clean. Highly recommend.

The experience at the Novotel in Westland Nairobi is of world-class standard. The ambiance, the beauty of the property's interior and exterior, and the exceptional services rendered by the staff right from the gate to your room. Staffs like Stephen concierge, James and all the beautiful ladies at the dining have all made my stay an experience to remember.

Enjoy the view - I’m be back!
This was my second stay at Novotel, and I’m already planning to return. The staff and management are exceptionally kind and welcoming. The breakfast is absolutely amazing—definitely worthy of a top 5+ hotel! The top-floor restaurant/bar, lounge floor restaurant, and pool bar all offer stunning atmospheres. The top-floor venue, in particular, boasts a breathtaking view. The food is great, with the top floor offering an exotic, Indian-inspired menu, while the lobby-level restaurant leans more toward Western cuisine. I didn’t try the cocktails, but they looked great.I nice place to invite guests. The hotel gym is well-equipped and is comfortably air-conditioned. I think it’s 24/7. I never tried the wellness centre. The rooms are large and nice, featuring asic essentials, effective air conditioning, nice showers, fully dark blackout curtains, and I haven’t experienced noise from neighboring rooms. House cleaning is spot on. The hallways on each floor are quite plain, but you don’t spend time there.
Stunning Lobby floor. This only shows a fraction of the stunning details, as I filmed the rest

Novotel saved our day!
Novotel Nairobi Westlands literally saved our day. Due to flight disruptions, we had to find a hotel at the last minute and decided to stay there for two nights. The hotel is brand new, having just opened recently. You can still feel the vibe of the opening and the staff goes out of its way to make you more than welcome! Breakfast was scrumptious and the roof top bar has views of the entire city, along with great cocktails and cool music! Definitely a highlight of our short, unplanned stay in Nairobi. Many thanks to the entire staff including their very visible Hotel Manager.
