My friend and I stayed here for a total of 5 nights (not consecutively, as we were using Nairobi as our stopover point between other destinations in Kenya). Another friend had booked our rooms in advance via a travel agency and we had also paid for all 5 nights upfront. Pros: the location of the hotel is fairly central and... More

We stayed here on first night of our arrival on our safari in Kenya. It is decent hotel, a bit old in construction. Rooms were nice, with comfortable bed and LCD TV. Bathroom was clean with a bath tub. Seems quite popular with locals as well. It is only 3 floors high with no lift. They charge you for everything... More

We stayed in the Jacaranda hotel for one night as we passed back through Nairobi as part of a safari package. The rooms are very dated, but clean and with a TV to catch up on news from home. The open communal hallways are very poorly lit, and reminded us of prison corridors. We didnt feel entirely safe. Saying that,... More

This is a pleasant hotel with well-appointed rooms. It is in a good location in terms of shopping areas nearby, within walking distance (during the day). The hotel is clean throughout. Breakfast is good - standard buffet in many ways but everything is quite edible. One MAJOR issue with this hotel is the reception desk service. Requests are quickly forgotten,... More

This is a hotel with a large number of rooms. When I stayed, there was one major international conference in town and several other smaller groups coming and going. Boutique hotel this is not. Breakfast was the same throughout the entire period of my stay. Not bad but that is probably a metaphor for the hotel: like the breakfast, it... More

The room was good and hotel staff very friendly and helpful. However the food on the restaurant was poor. The simple bar food appeared to be better

The Jacaranda staff are very pleasant and helpful. My twin room was large and airy. If it was warmer weather, the outdoor pool and cafe would have been great. The breakfast buffet was good. But, the room was not cheap. If you need to travel elsewhere in the city, the terrible traffic means you should stay as close as possible... More

Little out of city centre, not in walking distance (we previously stayed in centre of Nairobi at the Stanley, much better location for us to explore). Shopping Mall at back of hotel, convenient, but little noisy. Restaurant little slow on service and a bit expensive, but typical hotel fair. Room doors had large gaps, so a lot of noise from... More

This was our second visit to Kenya and like last time the Jacaranda was our overnight accommodation in Nairobi. The hotel offers excellent facilities for the cost, spacious clean and comfortable rooms. Restaurant choice is good particularly the poolside and outside settings of two of the eating places. The Pizza Garden opposite the hotel and part of the company offers... More
