A very good place to stay, and great value for money.

Pleasant stay at the Heron Hotel
Nice hotel, clean room. Good value for the price. The food was good. Great location, close to the city center. I stayed at the Heron for 11 days. I got to know some of the staff. Alex and Bob at reception were very kind, welcoming and helpful. The dinning/cafe staff, Daniel, Alex, Emily, Felix and Bashasha were courteous and friendly and great customers service. I would definitely stay at the Heron again.

8/10 Very good

Good and friendly
Heron Court is scoring high on friendliness and good service. Convenient location in quiet area, - and still within short walking distance from city center (CBD). Breakfast simple but sufficient, the cafeteria is pleasant, .. Cons: The bed was on harder side for me, and except for early in morning "hot" water in shower was luke warm (at best). All-in-all: Heron Court remains my "home away from home" in Nairobi.
Tore, 9-night trip

Friendly staff. Rooms are big and have refrigerators, microwave, tea kettle. We enjoyed our stay. There’s also a pool and gym which we didn’t get to use. Can walk to CBD and arboretum from location

Bad internet / wifi acces
Good but Terrible internet acces. Dont go there if need internet for your work.
Dahir, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

I wouldn’t recommend this hotel for solo female travellers. On check out, the hotel demanded additional payment, and the men behind the front desk displayed aggressive behaviour. It was dark and very early morning with no one around. They called in extra men and wouldn’t let me leave until I paid them around $400USD. I had already paid the hotel for my stay. It was a scary experience.

6/10 Good

Hotellet och servicen var ok, men hotellet låg väldigt ensamt och fanns inget att göra utanför hotellet på gångavstånd. Man fick inte lämna hotellet efter 18.00 utan att ta taxi så man var isolerad på hotellet och maten på hotellet var dyr och tog extremt lång tid att få.
