The sweet old Marble Arch Hotel is no more!
For the last several years- 8 to be exact- Marble Arch Hotel is the place I always went to when dropping in from the US and even during local stays while in Nairobi. Everything then was perfect. Not anymore. Something seemed to have gone wrong somewhere. Marble Arch is now crumbling. First, I was checked into a room with a leaking toilet. No apologies. Worst of it, I got no concession when I was switched into a new room the following day.Second, some of my stuff went missing from one of my bags. I will be honest and say that I am not absolutely certain whether that happened at the hotel or at the airport. However, we could have easily established that fact if security cared to run through their CCTV tape. They didn't. Or, if they did they have never reached out to me two weeks down. Awful, awful experience. I wouldnt recommend this hotel to anyone whatsoever. And for me, I am done with it.

We were in Nairobi for a night and this hotel was really nice. Their staff are friendly and helpful at all times. It’s just alito in a noisy area, but overall it’s wonderful. I’ve already booked it for my next stay in nairobi

Wonderful, low cost and convenient
Amazing place. The staff is wonderfully attentive and go well beyond the norm! Food is good - get the breakfast with the room - it is worth it. Rooms are clean, beds are very comfortable. Get a room in the back as it is on busy road but that makes it very accessible. Many sights and shopping are all walk-able. Came back 3 times within the context of my trip.

Luxury in Nairobi at a great price.
Excellent hotel with super friendly staff. Clean and in very good condition. Hotel safe to store valuables. Runs 24-7. A little noisy outside but aren't all hotels in central Nairobi? Pick up and drop off to airport worked well with no hitches, I recommend this hotel and will certainly use it again.

No frills hotel
Hotel looks old from outside and inside Room is clean and tidy Buffet breakfast looks tired Ordered breakfast from the menu which is good and fresh. No lifts and no air-con inside the room. Only a fan. Choose a room facing inside and not the main road if you like quiet
