    Apart from the disconnect between the advertised price and the actual price, we had a memorable stay

    Finding that the cost of our stay was $100 more than advertised on Booking.com. I tried explaining this to Anthony at Reception and all he could do was say that the Booking.com App had the same $369 rate. As we were checking in the online rate at Booking.com was $90 lower than what they were offering. Needless to say that was unpleasant and disappointing.

    Central location, excellent. Breakfast options wonderful. Staff interactions very good.

    I was not able to enjoy the otherwise extensive breakfast due to extremely loud music. I would recommend the hotel to reduce the volume in order to accommodate those of us who do not appreciate to be made to feel to be at a nightclub at an early morning breakfast.

    Extremely impressive room size and overall high standard.

    A very pleasant welcome, despite the fact that we arrived early, we got an early check in without any problems. The hotel is superbly equipped, with all possible things that a hotel should have. Including a spa and a great selection of food. Very friendly staff. For every recommendation!

    As mentioned about I loved the property however the service and staff were a let down. The staff need to up their game if they are to compete with Kempinski around the corner. Other than Rhoda at the Mughal restaurant gave us a memorable experience.

    Such an outstanding hotel and excellent facilities. Loved everything about the room.

    No complaints!! Everything was perfect!

    would gladly award the JW Marriott Nairobi a perfect score of 20 stars if it were possible! Every member of the staff I interacted with demonstrated a remarkable level of professionalism, politeness, and courtesy, consistently going above and beyond to ensure that my stay was nothing short of exceptional. I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Caroline, Chris, and the manager in the executive lounge (whose name I regretfully cannot recall, but it starts with a P), as well as Charles by the pool, Eunice at the front desk, and the bellman Lewis. A special thanks is also due to the concierge for arranging a fantastic trip to the national park, the elephant sanctuary, and the giraffe center, which was made even more memorable by our wonderful tour guide, John. Additionally, the 90-minute massage at the spa was a delightful experience that added to the overall enjoyment of my stay. Having visited numerous hotels, I can confidently say that this was the best experience I have ever had, as every staff member treated me like family. I am already looking forward to my next visit to the JW Marriott.
