It seems more or less ok... but.... The bed is as hard as rock, the wall seem paper thin, and my room seemed to be right next to some sort of cleaning room, where the cleaning staff congegate of a morning to talk and clatter about as loudly as possible at, say 7.30 in the morning. On Saturday. The management... More

A hotel at this price should provide service, which in Nairobi is not hard to find. Have these waiters had any training whatsoever? Service would make all the difference but I felt ignored.

Stayed on business trip for a week in this hotel. I was worried when the company booked this hotel due to all the bad reviews on tripadvisor.com. Honestly I do not know what the problem is I have nothing to complain about. The walls are not any thinner than the last Hilton I stayed in. Furthermore any noise is normally... More

Headed here on a day off just to kick back and relax on the terrace ovelooking the park.This may change if they build the bypass just pass it.The views of the park are certainly relaxing though naturally there were no animals in sight for the 4 hrs we were there,though im told there is the odd sighting.Service was good though...

I did not stay here but did eat lunch here. Our lunch was held outside on the covered patio. The people were very nice. Upon request, I was given a tour of some of the rooms. I was interested in staying here for my next trip but have later learned and read on TripAdvisor that the service is very slow.... More

This is the second time I have stayed at the Ole Sereni and both times I have enjoyed my stay up to a point, but there are aspects that are severely lacking. The rooms are clean and well equipped however the walls in the rooms are extremely thin which means you can hear everything going on in the rooms either... More

They tried to make something "different" but it doesn't work always. We took a club room,thinking it might be big. Also the toilet is badly designed, the glass toilet door doesn't block the noise at all. Having the reception on the first floor is also a bad idea for tired travelers to climb up.

I´ve been around the world in different hotels, but this one is definitely the worst hotel ever. The building used to be some type of office building that was adapted to be a hotel, so the dividing walls are so thin you can hear the TV from both rooms next to mine. There are power outages (not because of the... More

Not a bad hotel on the airport road. Given nairobi's traffic, that can be important for travellers and out is used by a lot of airlines for their staff. Generally pleasant and friendly on the edge of the game park with great view of ngong hills. But right under the flight paths of both JK.and Wilson airports. By far my... More
