Stayed for a quick business trip. Thought this hotel was fantastic, staff are friendly with an excellent quality of service. The room I stayed in was really clean with a good level of furnishings, separate shower which i much prefer. Also internet access was very good & free (which it should be in all hotels, but often isn't). It was... More

This is an excellent hotel. If you look at my prior reviews, you will find that I seldom give any hotel a 4 or 5. However, this hotel (based on the standards that I have seen and experienced in Kenya) deserves a 4 1/2. The following is a brief summary of the quality of this hotel. Safety: This is on... More

This was my first trip to Kenya so I was a little excited even though it was only for a couple of days and only for business. On arrival at the airport, I was met by the hotel transport and taken to the hotel where I felt the warmth of a true African welcome! The gentleman who carried my bags... More

After 3 tiring days in Masai Mara, Sankara was a bliss. Fantastic and quite luxurious hotel, very comfortable room and three of us had a very relaxing time. Bar on the 1st floor is quite reasonable and restaurant adjoining it serves indian and continental food. Although i was not impressed with the East Asian restaurant that we tried our lunch... More

Love the extra touches: luxury robe, great organic Kenyan in-room French press coffee service, DVD player, solid wifi, easy friendly service, cool rooftop bar and pool, legit security, and two shopping centers within 5-minute walk!

Stayed for 3 nights on business on the Exec floor, and cannot fault the place. Well appointed, luxury rooms, quiet a/c, lovely showers... Superb rooftop heated pool and a great (if small) gym on site (although the a/c was an issue in there as it was being fixed at the time), with a personal trainer on hand. We had breakfast... More
