Arboretum offers an oasis from the bustle
Everyone was very helpful and friendly. The location is good; it is calm and quiet except for the very loud Sunday afternoon music. Access to the Arboretum is a real treat.

This hotel is very conveniently located to all the restaurants we enjoyed. The breakfast buffet offers fresh fruit, veggies, chef made omelettes, a wide assortment of pastries and smoothies. The workout room is sufficient with weights and a few treadmills. The huge pool is warm and very visible on the dining floor.
We loved it. I highly recommend this hotel.

Our Radisson Blue Stay in Nairobi.
We enjoyed our stay here. The staff at the restaurants and room service were excellent. Price at the restaurant a bit expensive.
However, I was shocked when the front desk asked to withhold $1,000.00 for incidentals. I have paid the hotel stay already but, they needed to withhold $1,000. I have never seen this anywhere in the world.
