10/10 Exceptional

The service was wonderful, the management is very very profession and I highly commend Ms JOAN WAVALA, the guest Services Manager for her management style and everything she did for us to enjoy our stay at he Sankara. This was our third stay in Sankara within 1 year and we hope to come back again in July 2023. The only draw back is that the hotel has no SPA/Massage Parlor which a hotel of Sankara's Caliber should have. Second note is that refrigerators should be available in every room.

My stay at the Sankara Nairobi was excellent. The accommodatand, the staff/service was quite nice, beyond expectations and an oasis even among many European and US hotels where I have stayed. Our stay at the property was a respit from our business activities throughout Nairobi. Thank you for the genuinely pleasurable experience.

2/10 Poor

My second time .. This hotel needs a lot of improvement from service to the property Hostile feeling when staff make you feel unwelcome.. chef/waiters don’t know their own menu 🙇‍♀️ I stayed in Marriot hotel and this has no Marriot standards neither 3/4/5 star standards It’s in great location in Westland though Solomon is always best host (he’s gem ) The rest need work and upgrade
