Beautiful property, kind and helpful staff, very nice food in the restaurant for both dinner and breakfast. The rooms were clean and the bed comfortable. What more can you ask for!
Location, quality and service. A+ to the property on all these dimensions, whether you choose to stay with family or traveling for work. Had a memorable stay.
Breakfast at Gemma’s, dinner at Trunk and Tandoor were both fantastic. Dinner at Gemma’s could’ve been better.
The rooms were very clean and everything in working comfortable order, the staff were particularly notable: friendly, helpful and professional - making our stay with children feel comfortable, safe.
The hotel is well secured and assistance was available whenever needed.
Clean room, excellent service, great staff and good location.

Great place for us to stay on our first family trip to Kenya. Good area to use as a base when exploring Nairobi before moving on to safaris. Shopping centres close by, restaurants etc. within walking distance and easy when taking a taxi to/from other parts of the city. Used the rooftop pool and sundeck quite a lot as well. Staff was helpful. We stayed at the start of our trip and decided to book it for the last night of our trip as well.
We had a great time! The staff members are a dream, super nice and welcoming, always happy to help. Breakfast is great with a lot of options! Great location and facilities in the hotel. We’d definitely recommend! 10/10

Overall, I had a pleasant stay at Novotel Westlands Nairobi, with some clear strengths but also several areas that need improvement.
The staff were the highlight of my stay. Everyone was friendly, helpful and professional, especially the team at the gate and reception. Special thanks to Mr. Denniz, (porter) was exceptionally kind and helpful.
The room was spacious and clean, although the view directly onto a neighboring residential building was disappointing. The hotel itself feels somewhat dated, with the character of an airport hotel. Some carpets and wall coverings were stained or damaged, and the property would benefit from renovation.
The pool is quite small, and the music was far too loud for a relaxing atmosphere.
The buffet was extremely extensive and the food quality was very good. However, the selection was heavily focused on Indian and European cuisine, with very few local Kenyan dishes. I would have appreciated more local specialties.
The open-plan restaurant can be noisy, as some guests conduct loud business calls during breakfast and dinner. Unfortunately, the staff did little to address these disturbances.
The gym and spa were excellent: spacious, modern, clean and well equipped, with professional staff.
Check-in was unnecessarily slow. Despite entering all my details and passport information online the day before, I had to complete everything again at reception. Novotel also sends far too many emails before and during the stay, often about minor details.
The staff were amazing! Stephen, the concierge, met us at the door and took care of us like we were old family friends! The room was spacious and very comfortable!
Our stay at the Novotel was very pleasant, quiet, and felt safe. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the area. We highly recommend staying at this property!
