4-Star Hotels in Nairobi

Kendwa really is one of the best spots on the island—especially since the beach is clean, white, and doesn't pull out nearly as much with the tides like other parts of Zanzibar, making it perfect for swimming whenever you feel like jumping in. Here is a quick snapshot recap of what makes your stay there so great: * The Rooms: Spacious and comfortable, giving everyone plenty of room to relax and unwind after a full day out in the sun. * The Vibe: A great mix of quiet relaxation by day and lively energy by night—from chilling on the sandy shore to taking in the beachside atmosphere, live music, and dancing. * The Hospitality: Friendly, welcoming hotel staff keeping things running smoothly so you can just focus on enjoying your trip. * Great Location: Being steps away from local cafes, great dining right at the main bar, and easy access to ocean activities makes it super convenient. Enjoy the rest of your time taking in the ocean views and relaxing on the beach!

The accomodation is absolutely top range and comfortable and the place has so much to offer. Unfortunately, it appears to be running on auto pilot or poor management. These are the things which really annoyed me: 1. Arriving at night, the signage is not well lit and we struggled to establish whether we had arrived at the right place, especially the security personnel at the gate were not being very helpful. They have never been given any training to help them understand that they are the first point of contact between guests and the residency. 2. We arrived on a ”Jazz Night” but, although I am a jazz lover, it should not be foreced upon everyone. The layout of the dining area is very poorly thought out. There was no maitre d'hotel or someone to direct us as to where we should go if we wanted to eat and not listen to music. Eventually we found someone to help us walk past the music area and squeeze past the tight space to go past th bar to the dining area. The whole layout is kind of back to front. The dining area should be more easily accessible and there needs to be a way to separate the main dining area without getting rid of the dining tables in the music area. 3. The dining area is exposed at the back and there was a strong could draught that night, because the rear part of the dining area is exposed to the elements.

What an amazing experience! Me and my wife have luckily travelled to many countries and stayed in a range of hotels and this was one of the most comfortable and welcome experiences. Our first time in Nairobi so we didn’t know too much about where to stay until we spoke to some people. They mentioned the area to be safe and also recommended this hotel as a great way to be comfortable in Nairobi. You have security in entrance and exit and they were super nice. All the staff in the hotel were accommodating and showed us around and had us alll the info we needed. We got breakfast included and stayed for 3 nights. The breakfast was exactly what we needed. You have a range of foods to choose from and I’m sure you’ll find something you like! The food at the hotel is halal which is great for us too. Our room was cleaned and refilled every day and they were respectful and details in their service. We also used the gym which was super great. Enough for you to get a good workout in too. The location is next to Sarit Centre, perfect to access the Masai Market (on specific days) and also shops of all kinds. Big thank you to the team and everyone involved! Will definitely choose this hotel if I’m ever in Nairobi and also one I’d recommend to friends and family.

It was my first time to stay EKA. I arrived 8 hours before check-in time, having made a booking for one night. Unfortunately, my connection flight was on the same day, meaning that I wasn't spending a night in the Hotel. So grateful to have been allowed early check-in at no additional cost. A plus on flexibility of hotel management. Staff were generally warm, professional and willing to help. I will certainly be back!

The service at the hotel was fantastic and the staff extremely friendly and professional. Will sadly recommend it to my network and will be happy to stay there again.

I stayed here twice, once on arrival and again the day before my flight home. The first time, I was a bit disappointed because I was on the 5th floor and my window looked out onto a terrace. However, my second stay was on the 9th floor with an amazing view overlooking Nairobi National Park, which really boosted my overall impression! I could even spot giraffes and ostriches with binoculars. The room itself was spacious and comfortable, with absolutely no complaints. Security was also excellent. I had expected there to be more shops within the building, but aside from about three restaurants, most of the other spaces were vacant. So, for any shopping, you'll need to venture outside.

The room is tidy, the breakfast is rich, the front desk and service staff are very nice, and there is a Chinese restaurant on the sixth floor that provides several dinners. No security issues encountered

This is a hotel owned by Chinese capital. Breakfast is delicious Chinese food. The building and facilities are old, but clean. The shower water pressure was weak, which was inconvenient.

Everything was good. We spent there one night, the staff was friendly and helpful and they even gave me a complimentary birthday cake and a song in the morning - this was very unexpected and very sweet!

I stayed at this hotel for one night on May 4, 2025, and had a pleasant experience. The location is excellent—less than a 20-minute drive from the airport, in a safe and secure neighborhood. The hotel is gated with visible security, and even Uber drivers are required to state their purpose before entering, which I appreciated as it made me feel safe. There’s also a guard stationed at the entrance to the rooms, adding an extra layer of security. The room was clean and comfortable, and I had a peaceful night’s sleep thanks to the quiet surroundings. The reception staff were friendly and hospitable, making check-in smooth and welcoming. A shopping mall is just a 15-minute walk away, or a short Uber ride costing less than $2. The hotel is also easy to locate. Overall, I was very satisfied with my stay and would definitely consider coming back in the future.
