We stayed for 7 days at the hotel and found the staff incredibly friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Steve was AMAZING and helped us sort out all our day trips and safari. Whilst organising our trips, he would teach us on Kenyan history, which was fascinating. A few other members of staff that stood out were George, Paul and Beatrice. I highly recommend visiting Nairobi and definitely stay at The Savora Stanley.

Best affordable 5 star hotel in Nairobi
We were so impressed with our stay at the Sarova Stanley, coming into town for business. The folks at the Stanley had two wonderful restaurants, a great gym, world class sauna and steam rooms, and an incredible pool deck as well. The library/bar on the 1st floor also makes working at the Stanley seamless. Three employees in particular made sure our stay was incredible: Richard, Beatrice, and Josef. The Kenyan hospitality shined throughout our stay here and we felt lucky to have found such a gem in Nairobi. We will be back!
