Jolene J. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

Mixed experience. Booked a set room as it was our anniversary to check in and have been given a different room. When booked there was 3 of the rooms available but at check in we were told that the room we were supposed to stay in, the guests extended their stay. That is not how hospitality works - the guests can extend their stay by all means but should not have been able to extend in the room as it was already booked. I also have a fear of heights and was given a room on the top floor! Got given a complimentary drink each for the inconvenience but when we came to pay were told that only the beer would be complimentary and not the glass of house red that I had! Hotel was lovely with great amenities. The staff were pleasant and welcoming.

Nia C. D. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

Staff were incredibly warm and friendly. The hostess during breakfast made a concerted effort to remember the name of guests. I was able to place a special order from room service when I got sick. Only one issue: the TV in my room would switch on automatically at 06:15 and 18:15 every day. I mentioned this three times to staff but the issue was never resolved during my stay.

Dear Nia, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your wonderful feedback following your stay at Gem Forest Hotel Nairobi – MGallery Collection. We are delighted to know that you enjoyed the warm and friendly service from our Heartists, and particularly appreciate your kind mention of our breakfast hostess for making the effort to remember guests by name. We are also pleased that our Room Service team was able to accommodate your special request when you were unwell. It is moments such as these that reflect our commitment to providing thoughtful and personalized hospitality. We are especially grateful for your recognition of our team and for rating your overall experience so highly. I will be sure to share your kind comments with the entire team, including the manager you remembered as being particularly helpful and considerate. That said, please accept our sincere apologies regarding the television turning on automatically at 06:15 and 18:15. More importantly, we regret that despite bringing this to our attention three times, the issue was not resolved during your stay. This falls short of the level of responsiveness we expect from ourselves. We have taken note of your feedback and will reinforce the need for prompt escalation and follow-up of recurring technical issues to ensure that such matters are resolved without delay. Thank you once again for choosing Gem Forest Hotel Nairobi. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back for an even more seamless experience.

Location is great and safe. Beakfast and staff are wonderful. The rooms are not the most functional for business travel, style overrides functionality. But even though I loved my stay.

Amrita N. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

My and my toddler came for one night in our last night in Nairobi to be closer to karura forest and we had an amazing time! The food at the restaurants were amazing - we got room service for dinner, breakfast on the first floor and lunch also at a restaurant in the hotel and it was all fabulous. The steak for dinner was so good I had it again for lunch! The room was phenomenal. I’m also pregnant and used the spa and got a prenatal massage done at the spa after karura forest - and the lady from Bali was phenomenal and it’s so probably the best massage I’ve ever had. Other then the service at breakfast being a bit shitty because I ordered a omelette and they decided we were as important as the people in business suits so their served them first (even though we ordered first) and I waited 30 mins for an omelette and I was very annoyed and irritated by that. Especially because my toddler wasn’t having it.

Mateo C. M. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

The place is amazing. I did have an issue with the room AC. The AC did not work all night. I only had a one night stay and need to get some good rest, but the AC malfunctioning made that hard. I called reception at 4am to get it working, and they did, but then they set the temperature way too cold. The ac control within the room did not work. I stayed in room 811. Hopefully this gets fixed.
