Excellent option for reasonably priced western hotel in Nairobi. It's attached to the next door Fairview Hotel which is an IHG property and has great amenities like a pool and various dining options. These are necessary as you are advised not to go out at night in Nairobi so you are more or less stuck at the hotel. Room was clean and good sized. Bed linens were of high quality. Cleaning daily. Breakfast was awesome with plenty of options including fruit, yogurt, bakery, cereal, made to order omelettes, and a barista coffee station.

We had an excellent stay at the Nairobi Best Western Upper Hill. From our smooth check-in experience (Pauline is FANTASTIC!), to the cleanliness, and comfort of our room, we were very happy with our Best Western stay. The whole staff is kind and very professional. We look forward to returning!

The room and bathroom was very small and there was no air conditioning and the ceiling fan was filthy. The hotel clerk and bellman were very friendly. However, I will probably not stay there again.
