We arrived at the property at midnight and left at 7:30 in the morning. It was an overnight stay from the next day. As a result, we didn’t use any of the facilities, although they looked good. The room itself was a little old from a furnishing standpoint The room could use updates. However, it was fine for what we needed.

Stayed 3 times arriving after Maasai Safari and after Mombassa and flying home. Excellent location whether you are going on Safari or arriving/departing via JKIA, also close to train station. And close to Southern Bypass if going to Maasai Mara or haeding south. Recommend the Deluxe option for easy pickup at airport and breakfast option. If you go for the Natl Park view make sure your above the 6th floor. Several good restaurants in the hotel along with gym and ICE skating rink! Nairobi Natl Park well worth a day trip especially if you missed the Rhino's at Maasai Mara. Highly recommend!

This was my first time in Kenya and a fantastic experience. As depicted in the pictures, the Panari certainly lived up to its prestige. Things I liked: 1) Guest relations, Ms. Claira was EXCELLENT, 5 STARS :) Because we were there for only 12 hours, Claira organized 3 Kenyan experiences, which my wife and I completed in 3 hours. Griffe feeding, need making factory & Maasi Market. 2) The view ot the natural Park with wild animals. 3) The lobby felt very welcoming. Things I did not like: 1) Much-needed upgrade of workout equipment. 2) The shower curtain falls too close to the body. 3) Room service is too slow to respond at times. In all, I would highly recommend this hotel to the next visitor.

poor - only 3 star

This is far from a 5 star hotel It would be lucky to be a 3 star. It is old dated and needs updating. The manager (a male) had no idea when he was quoting hotel terms and conditions. When asked to provide the same, he had no idea. When asked to show on the web site, he could not provide. Indoor pool not heated Overall a very poor experience. Would not stay there again - nor would recommend to anyone. Way too expensive for what it is. Located on a busy road. The shopping mall below was 60% empty and deserted.
