Nairobi hotel near airport?
In message , Rita Daggett
writes Can anyone recommend a good hotel in the $90-$150 range (2 persons) with a nice ambience, good quality rooms, quiet at night, and is not so modern that its sterile? Specifically, just how are the Stanley, Intercon and Hilton? Are they any good? Someone else mentioned Panafric and Norfolk - no idea of their prices since we've always stayed as part of a package. Panafric I'd class as 'cheap and cheerful' - its big, but the rooms are OK; they seem to cater a lot for people arriving and departing at odd hours and we've always heard what sounds like people moving furniture in the room above us when we've stayed there. The Norfolk has a huge history; its VERY nice, and has a place you can eat and watch the world (at reasonable prices) but I think the room rates are high. -- Rita Daggett Rita, Our friend wants somewhere quiet. You may be surprised when I tell you I lived in the Panafric for four months! It has changed hands now but the trick is to ask for a room on the sixth floor, so the clicking heels etc won`t be there. The airline staff used to stay there and there was coming and going all night. I would go along with Hans Georg and recommend the Fairview. Pricing is reasonable and there are a variety of rooms. The Norfolk, like the Serena, is expensive. Pat -- Pat Anderson |

Turns out, the question is now out of my hands: I finally convinced Kenya Air that they ought to put my group up for the night, since a change in their schedule necessitated the layover. They agreed, so now I suspect its the Intercon. Thanks again. --riverman |
