Nairobi hotel

[robert75]

Im just back from Nairobi and stayed at the Central Park Hotel. As a regular traveller to Kenya i have to say this is the best value for money hotel in Nairobi.
2300ks per night with buffet breakfast or 2000ks without. If you take a woman back to your room it is 500ks extra.
Rooms are little small but nice and clean.
Location wise its a bit tricky to find right away but its only 1min walk to the Hilton so its very central.
Pierre on here found this hotel orignally i think.

Thanks for a nice tip, but on the site they quote 44 USD or 3000 shillings.

Is it far from Florida ?

[robert75]

I emailed them, told them i was coming they charged me 2000ks per night.
Which Florida you talking about? Florida 2000 is a minute away on foot. Florida (madhouse) that looks like a spaceship is a 5 minute walk.

Green Court Hotel 1800 including breakfast, no charge for a girl, nice restaurant food, decent rooms with dstv channels on a wall-mounted 14" tv. On Latema Road off Tom Mboya Street.

Is it safe to walk at night from the hotel to the club ?

[robert75]

I never had problems but if your someone that can be intimidated then you may not like it. For me there isnt a place in the world i would be afraid to wander around though. The Centre is usully safe as there is always alot of people around. From the Hilton its only 200ks in a taxi for a 1min ride round the corner to it if you bottle it.

Thank you Robert75, because I heard it so many times: never, never walk even 50 yards in Nairobi, when it is dark.

What is the taxi rate from Hilton to Westlands ?

Any advice on good clubs in Westlands ?

Hi People:

your post have increased my knowldge about Nairobi. I just needed some info, that would be staying at the Panari Hotel (Close to the airport) during my trip, so is this hotel good/safe enough to get girls back to your room, are there any restrictions, and most important, where do you bring in these girls/pros from??
Looking forward to hear from all.
cheers
Neel

hi collegues
since i liked my recent stay in mombasa i booked a last minute flight to nairobi and will be there in the first two weeks of january
i am still looking for a hotel in the center
price: 3.000 - 5.000 ksh
girlfriendly
in this thread there are more price informations on the girls than on the hotel rates
does green court hotel fullfill my requirements and are there alternatives?

[robert75]

go to Central park hotel on Sheikh Karume Road. Google map it so you can see where it is. 2 mins walk from Hilton hotel. Has excellent gym, sauna, clean rooms, small bar. Ask for a room in the centre of the building as they are quieter, 2500ks a night. You pay 500 for an extra guest overnight.
email info@hotelcentralpark.net as their website is usually down.

The price for Central Park has been raised to 2800ks per night and 700ks extra for overnight guest. Inflation.

Thanks for your answers so far.

Do you think the price of Central Park Hotel or others varies between booking by email and booking personally at the hotel? For Mombasa I read recommendations to book personally and without luggage.

@robert
The lady of the hotel reception said on the phone that the single room for one night costs ksh 5000 in hotel central park.

[robert75]

They only ever charge me 2500ks so i dont know why they quote you that price. 18 months ago it was 2000ks.

Maybe they tried it with me. For one day its ok for me, since i arrive late at night at the first day. Later on i am confident to find a better offer.
