This was a nice hotel, conveniently located in central Nairobi near Nairobi National Park and shopping centers. The hotel is clean, has a nice restaurant/bar with good food, and the staff is excellent. Nairobi is a busy city with lots of traffic. I would not consider it walkable, but Ubers and taxis are convenient and affordable. If you like meat, the famous Carnivore restaurant is right next door to the hotel.
