I loved the place that I extended my stay there. The rooms are very cozy with Lamu style furnishing. The gym is fully equipped as well as a nice spacious studio. The pool area is very pretty but the pool is a little dirty and would be better if there was a pool bed. The staff were super friendly. They were helpful and made my stay very comfortable. The area is in a very convenient location with supermarkets and restaurants along the same road and easy access to the Westlands, Lavington and Riverside areas. I highly recommend it and I will definitely be back again.

Spacious apartment for a family stay

Stayed here for 2 nights with my family as part of a bigger trip to Kenya. The apartment was big and had lots of space for us all. There's a bar, swimming pool and restaurant on the site so was very easy for us to keep busy for a day. There's also a supermarket a short walk away.

Great place to stay in Nairobi

Great location and nice staff. Loved having coffee shop, restaurant, room service and salon on site. Apartment could use some more amenities - more glasses in the rooms, light bulbs, extra towels/blankets/pillows, more pots and pans, the basics like salt and pepper, etc I will come back though as it was very comfortable for our group.

Stunning Craftsmanship Being Lost to Poor Oversight The Good: The King Post is architecturally unique, and the woodwork throughout the property is genuinely impressive. It is clear that significant capital and artistry went into the initial build. The Reality: Unfortunately, the property is currently suffering from visible neglect. The building’s exterior envelope is in dire need of concrete repairs and painting, giving it a "used" and forgotten feel. Inside the King Suite, the experience was further marred by a terrible mattress; a hotel of this caliber must invest in quality sleep. The Service Failures: The room was poorly prepared, missing basic essentials like towels, soap, dish soap, and garbage bags. Furthermore, the café was missing half of its breakfast ingredients—an inexcusable logistical failure considering there is a Carrefour literally across the street. The Root Cause: When I asked for the manager, staff informed me they only visit about once a week. This explains everything. In the hospitality industry, constant supervision and rigorous maintenance standards are the only things that prevent a property from deteriorating. Without an active management presence, the standards have clearly slipped. It would be a tragedy to see such a beautiful, high-capital investment continue this decline.

A unique architectural hotel, not one of those chain cookie cutters. The ambiance is very relaxing. The room we had was a good sized studio, with a kitchen. I don’t know how often people use the kitchen, but I being a celiac like to have that option. We needed a few things and Preet, who manages the place made sure we received them. Was not too impressed with the coffee shop. The bar is fine but food is so so. This will be my hotel to stay in when I am in Nairobi

The King Post is still one of the best value for money accommodation in a great location in Westlands that I have been to. It is quiet and safe. The architecture of the place is beautiful Mombasa style. The management is extremely accommodating to guests requests.
