5 Stars all around!

Words can’t explain how much we fell in love with this hotel. From the staff, the food, surrounding areas, everything was fantastic! For starters, the hotel is completely gated with 2 point security, so we left extremely safe. There is a mall inside the gated area as well along with a few restaurants so it was perfect for nights when we wanted to grab something quick to eat. Uber is available and are very quick with arrival time. If you love taking pics, this is the place for you. There are tons of photos opps in almost every corner! Lovely place and will definitely stay again when visiting Kenya!

not good value for money. avergae hotel.

the team is friendly in general but there has been many service issues that did not meet my expectations having paid a lot of money for the stay, not value for money, First room was very noisy, they changed next day to lower ground which was more quite from outside but the house keeping staff were very noisy, the replenishment of coffee and other amenities were not consistent, the laundry I sent came back not very clean and smelled awkward, the billing was an issue as I paid 20% on your website but it did not appear so if I did not pay attention I would of paid more money. they need a lot of improvement for the price paid. one good thing about it is the good quality of food in general especially in executive lounge.

I wish I could give the Tribe hotel more than 5 stars. I have stayed at some of the best hotels around the world and the service at The Tribe is the best I’ve ever experienced. From the time I made our reservation to the minute we got dropped back at the airport, we felt like royalty. Our Chieftains (that’s what they call their team members) were superb! Baraka at the front desk was an absolute delight. His positive attitude and willingness to help with whatever was needed made it a pleasure to interact with him each day. The rest of the front desk team - Jackie, Leah, and Barbara all made us feel like we were part of the Tribe family and constantly went above and beyond to make us feel like we were valued customers. Joel from the transport and excursions team is an absolute gem. We booked several excursion and airport transfers through him. We had to make several changes prior to arrival and while we were there, and his responsiveness and willingness to make changes minute to minute really helped make our time in Nairobi seamless and incredibly enjoyable. Lastly, Ivy, our driver and guide for three days, was the BEST! Aside from being a safe driver, she was so much fun to spend time with. She is funny, knowledgeable, and overall lovely person. In addition to the wonderful team, the hotel is stunning with beautiful artwork all around the hotel. The architecture and room design make it feel like you are staying in a beautiful art gallery. The location is fantastic and it felt

We had the pleasure of spending several days in Nairobi at the Tribe. As first time visitors of Kenya our family of four from Canada with two young adult daughters, we were a bit nervous as to what to expect with Nairobi but we couldn’t have been luckier than to have selected the Tribe (it was highly recommended to us). The staff there are kind, friendly and professional. Best of all, we were introduced to Jeff, our driver and guide who was recommended by the hotel. From the moment we met Jeff he made us feel completely safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. He didn’t just drive us around—he welcomed us like family. We used the Tribe as a hub between safaris and a trip to Tanzania’s mainland and Zanzibar. With Jeff as our reliable contact in Nairobi for each of our multiple airport drop offs, pick-ups, and tour day in Nairobi; and the Tribe with its great staff, ambiance, safety and cleanliness (plus yummy food) we genuinely looked forward to returning between adventures. The Tribe held our larger luggages during the adventures and Jeff’s dependability made us feel safe, comfortable and welcome. Even when we were running predictably late Jeff kindly ensured we made each flight, and were never stranded nor confused with where to go or what to do at the airport (for pick-ups and drop-offs). The Tribe was a hit. As for Jeff, if you're visiting Nairobi and want a driver who will go above and beyond to make things smooth he is the person you want.

Staff were amazing! We stayed there 3 times a various points throughout our safaris & travels and couldn’t have been happier! It was through this hotel that we met Jeff, our indispensable driver. He was nothing short of a blessing. He took amazing care of us during our day trip around Nairobi & our endless trips to & from the airports for our Kenya & Tanzania adventures. If you go to Nairobi and need a driver ask for Jeff.

Conveniently situated just a three-minute walk from Village Market, the hotel offers easy access to a vibrant mix of unique boutiques, local artisans, and an array of fantastic restaurants. From the moment I was picked up at the airport, the service was exceptional. My “Chieftain” — the wonderful Barbara — took the time to ask about my preferences for the trip and offered thoughtful, tailored recommendations. She even accompanied me on a Friday shopping trip and arranged for special items to be delivered directly to my room. The atmosphere at Tribe is a perfect blend of modern luxury and eco-conscious design. Striking artwork throughout the property evokes a sense of awe, while the serene, nature-inspired setting creates a feeling of calm and retreat. Be sure to visit the indoor-outdoor restaurant. I highly recommend the seafood soup — a perfectly balanced dish bursting with rich, layered flavors that truly delighted the palate. Having tasted fish soups in renowned culinary cities like Lyon and Marseille, I can confidently say Tribe’s version holds its own — compliments to the chef! The true gem of the experience, however, is the staff. Friendly, courteous, and genuinely attentive, they consistently went above and beyond to ensure every detail was just right. I’m already looking forward to my next trip to Nairobi — and there’s no question where I’ll be staying.

Great two Night Stay

Tribe is a great hotel, had a brilliant culture, and serves fantastic food They even offered is a complimentary late room check out as I had a late flight back to the up on my last day in Nairobi An added advantage is that you can use the heated top floor pool at the sister hotel ‘Trademark’ which adjoins the neighboring Mall, we took full advantage of that option We arrived late on the first day so had to settle for the room service menu, it was the best quality room service menu that I have ever experienced
