I had a very pleasant stay at the Sankara in Nairobi. I was impressed with the reservations team from the moment I reached out to the moment I arrived. The hotel is spotless, on the smaller side when compared to other chain hotels but well laid out and they had everything I needed for a long and comfortable stay. The room was spacious and had all the necessary comforts. I had access to their executive lounge and it featured an excellent happy hour with excellent food and drink options. The staff at the executive lounge were very attentive and a delight, they were extremely helpful. I interacted the most with Victor and Wahu who were so proactive and attentive always ensuring guests were being taken cared of. Food options at the hotel are fantastic. Their breakfast buffet had food options from many parts of the world and they host a brunch once a month that is out of this world. The hotel is in close proximity to the Sarit shopping center and that has great food options as well. All in all amazing stay and would definitely stay here again!

Service above and beyond as is normal here. Rooms are huge with all amenities. I had breakfast included and the breakfast spread had everything you could imagine. After a long day of travel decided to eat at the bar and watch football. Maeve served me that evening and she went the extra mile to make sure I was comfortable and dealt with some of the challenges I had that evening with the meal (my fault not the restaurant mind you). She was excellent and was such a great representative for the hotel. Will be back - my favorite in Nairobi when staying in Westlands for client business
