From the moment we arrived, our experience at JW Marriott Hotel Nairobi was nothing short of spectacular! The staff truly went above and beyond to make our stay extraordinary. A special shout-out to Pricilla and Jemimah, who made us feel like royalty throughout our visit. Their attention to detail and genuine warmth made us feel so welcome and cared for. The entire hotel team exceeded our expectations, from the seamless check-in to assisting with local activities. The room was luxurious, with stunning views and all the comforts we could ask for. We also loved the the amenities available including the spa and stunning pool. There were many exceptional restaurant options to choose from. We can't thank the team enough for making our stay unforgettable. It was the perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and personal attention, and we’ll definitely be recommending to our friends and family. Thank you again to the entire team for your exceptional service.

Our family had an incredible stay at this hotel! The facilities were top-notch, offering everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The food, steeped in rich heritage, was a delightful culinary journey. But what truly set this experience apart was the cheerful and always helpful staff, who made us feel genuinely welcomed throughout our stay. Highly recommended for a memorable family getaway!
