I stayed here for 4 days. Overall a good hotel with very comfortable and clean room. The room service to clean the room was really nice and did a good job daily. The front desk ladies during the day were not very friendly and few times I had asked them with directons or to help with Uber drivers (as I had one incident when the Uber driver didn't give me change) and they refused to help. However the guy in the evening was amazing and very helpful. He even helped to open my suitcase when I had lost the key. the hotel area is good and feels safe to walk around during the day. I wouldn't walk around at night especially if solo female. There is a shopping mall 5mins walk which had a supermarket and foodcourt. The breakfast in the hotel was very disappointing; I only ate once as had early start with tours but they did pack me fruits to take away when asked which was great. There was a pool upstairs but it was cold so never used it and it did look a bit run-down. They should consider cleaning or refurbishing it.

Overall a terrible experience. The property is mediocre, the service bad and there are lots of hidden fees.
- bathroom was dirty when I arrived
- the "king" bed was two small beds put together
- they a very stingy with drinking water. Only two small bottles per day and they charge if you ask for more
- staff failed to follow through on services they agreed to
- they charge $40 if you want to bring a guest to the room
You'll be happier at one of the many other hotels in Westlands

Great staff and great food
Good location, safe and great staff, but the hotel is in need of updating. The food was excellent. The water to shower also was not hot. It was lukewarm. I complained and waited 2 hours on the first day for it to be resolved only to be finally told that’s the hottest it gets. Disappointed

The property was good, everyone who-worked there was nice, helpful and Courteous, the complementary breakfast buffet was very good, the other restaurants in the building were excellent. I didn’t like my first room so they quickly move me to an upgraded room…no extra payment. I will definitely go there again.

Terrible stay at Golden Tulip Westlands Nairobi
It was the forgetable hotel stay i can imagine. They overcharged me by one night and have syoll not refunded me. Seems to have been calculated because they were very aware that i had already paid for one night and insisted that they will take payment on check out. On checked someanager insisted on checking me out and included the night i had already paid for. Called them from airport when i realised the debit on my card but still procrastinating on refunding me 3 days later. I would urge everyone to keep clear of this hotel

Amazing room, amazing breakfast
Superbe large spacious room with everything one needs. Pressure of water in bathroom was amazing. Room were cleaned properly. Breakfast was a 5 stars. Lots of choices. But mattress was old and uncomfortable, could not sleep properly, has to be changed. Room 814 to avoid.

Hotel was okay but in business area
Breakfast was nice
And rooms were clean but the bathrooms needed to be deep cleaned
The only issue I had was the receptionist called Junior who was very rude
I had already paid for late check out earlier in the day but when I went to reception to confirm the timings she wanted to charge me for a whole day even after paying
Apart from that the staff at breakfast were amazing

mixed review.
The location is good. The kitchen staff are amazing (particularly the Chief Rachael). The security staff are excellant. There was one lady on the ground floor and she was always very grumpy (15 times, I said please and thank you) and she never once responded. Also, one Saturday evening I had a drink at the donwstairs cafe with a friend, we then had another drink at the roof top bar. On the way out she asked to use my bathroom (she didn't want to use the public toilets). I was in my room for 3-5 (Max minutes) after she left I was told there was 40$ additional payment for having somone in my room.. I thought that this was crazy.

Unique about the property is the attention of the staff and the chefs. They truly care about the guests and accommodate your requests. Thanks to Chef Ajay for catering to vegan requirements. Every time I have come to Kenya I have stayed here. Golden Tulip used to be an excellent property currently it's a bit run down in the bathrooms. The caulking, trash cans, etc need some attention.
