Nice hotel, lousy management
Great location - nice and central but sadly avoid any rooms near the event space. I'm the middle of a meeting and a 6 night stay and whooooommmp, Dufft,Dufft a huge PA rig starts up with no notice in advance. Absolutely deafening in the room (110) Management moved me but not willing and no prompt response.

Our Radisson Blue Stay in Nairobi.
We enjoyed our stay here. The staff at the restaurants and room service were excellent. Price at the restaurant a bit expensive. However, I was shocked when the front desk asked to withhold $1,000.00 for incidentals. I have paid the hotel stay already but, they needed to withhold $1,000. I have never seen this anywhere in the world.

We absolutely LOVED this property so much that we cancelled our stay at a different hotel to come back to this one! All of the staff were absolutely incredible. The attention to detail from setting up a surprise in our room for our honeymoon, to remember our names and recommending areas to go. Incredible time.

10/10 Exceptional

The staff was professional and welcoming throughout the entire stay, and helped with transportation and other issues and questions I had. The property and room amenities were fine and comfortable. The security around the hotel area was strict but expected since it was near the President's State House. Unfortunately, the only one issue I had was late night noise. from the room above and early morning carts rolling outside the hallway. If I were to stay at the Radisson again, I would definitely ask for a top floor room and for a quieter room. Otherwise, a wonderful hotel overall.
