Guest reviews for Radisson Blu Hotel & Residence, Nairobi Arboretum

5 out of 5
Very quiet and safe. We went for a 'staycation' for a couple of days and chose an apartment type room and had so much space, worth it if in budget. Breakfast was lovely and plenty of choice. THe hotels staff were amazing in particular the breakfast staff who all went out of their way to accommodate us as well as John who helped us with luggage and to our room he was always friendly and welcoming and always greeted us with a smile. Check in experience was great, efficient and quick. Our stay was was not all perfect though...I was surprised at check out not to be asked how my stay was, was everything ok etc, In fact it was not. The visit to the hotel was a family visit to make use of the heated pool, I wanted to take my baby daughter swimming for the first time, in fact on the 3 days (2 nights) that we stayed the pool heating was not working (this cannot be blamed on covid as the pool was open). We just had to go to another hotel to swim, had I known I should have just stayed at the other hotel. Wi-fi was in general good but cut out a few times. I would probably return but would check in advance if the pool is functioning.
