My stay at the Sankara Nairobi was excellent. The accommodatand, the staff/service was quite nice, beyond expectations and an oasis even among many European and US hotels where I have stayed. Our stay at the property was a respit from our business activities throughout Nairobi. Thank you for the genuinely pleasurable experience.
