I had an amazing stay at Tribe! The room was spotless, the bed was very comfortable, and I loved the shower. I enjoyed my time and relaxation at the spa where I got a 10/10 massage and spent time in the sauna. The staff is very welcoming and accommodating as well. Special shoutout to Tony, John , Desdario, Blair , Sheraline, and Linet. Your kindness during my stay did not go unnoticed and I really appreciated your contributions to my great stay. I will be staying here every time I’m in Nairobi! Thank you, Tribe!

not good value for money. avergae hotel.

the team is friendly in general but there has been many service issues that did not meet my expectations having paid a lot of money for the stay, not value for money, First room was very noisy, they changed next day to lower ground which was more quite from outside but the house keeping staff were very noisy, the replenishment of coffee and other amenities were not consistent, the laundry I sent came back not very clean and smelled awkward, the billing was an issue as I paid 20% on your website but it did not appear so if I did not pay attention I would of paid more money. they need a lot of improvement for the price paid. one good thing about it is the good quality of food in general especially in executive lounge.
