Well located Quality modern hotel

Great modern hotel centrally located with a number of bars and restaurants in the vicinity. Rooms were modern and well appointed. Staff friendly and efficient. Graze restaurant worth a visit if you like a US Steak house Price was on expensive side but if you can get a good deal worth a stay when visiting the city

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Sankara Nairobi! From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond our expectations. Everyone was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and accommodating, and they truly made us feel like valued guests throughout our entire stay. The staff was always willing to assist with anything we needed. They helped arrange transportation and even assisted us with planning our safari, making the entire experience so much easier and more enjoyable. The hotel itself was beautiful and exceptionally clean, and the service was outstanding. What impressed us most was the genuine care and attention the staff provided. They made us feel comfortable, welcomed, and well taken care of from beginning to end. We are extremely grateful to the entire team at Sankara Nairobi for making our stay so memorable. We would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Nairobi and would happily stay here again!

The service was really nice and security here made you feel safe. The rooms were smaller than I hoped for- we stayed here for the first few days of our trip and then went to movenpick for the last few days. Their rooms were bigger and spacious but the service was better here - it was still good but I felt at sankara they were just always ready to go above and beyond.

Top notch hotel in Nairobi

This was the first time for me staying at the Sankara in Nairobi, and I found the hotel to be excellent both in terms of comfort and cleanliness. My room was modern and well appointed and very comfortable. The food in the restaurants was good ands the steakhouse Graze was 4 out of 5 stars. The staff - 10 stars out of 5. Very (super) friendly and helpful and came through on every request. The only minor squawk I would give the hotel is that the bar on the first floor could do with an update and a more robust selection of liquor. It was a bit to sterile for my tastes - leaving money on the table for the hotel. The rooftop bar and pool were nice but again suffer from a narrow selection of alcohol. But overall - 5 of 5 stars! Truly enjoyed my stay.
