We stayed one night before and one night after our Masai Mara safari. The hotel made us very welcome and offers excellent accommodation and food. It was great to have a dip in the pool after a long flight to Nairobi. We chose to eat on the bar terrace in the evening which has a variety of plates that suited us. Wine is however quite expensive.

We loved staying in this historical Nairoibi hotel both a few days before a. after our Safari. All the staff we met were so friendly a. helpful, including the bar area. The morning breakfast on the patio was fantastic - something for everyone; a. we also enjoyed the restaurant for dinner. They surprised me with a birthday cake as well on our back-end stay! Our bedroom, a. maybe all of them, opened up to the beautiful nature filled courtyard. The Norfolk people are very mindful of security, a. there was no issue getting a car/taxi to go somewhere.

Miriam A. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

Nice location+gym. Pretty compound and garden, good food. Nice and friendly staff, but long waiting times (over an hour for in-room dinner, about the same time for my invoice which still needed multiple corrections). Rooms would benefit from a bit of renovation/modernisation (lock at the door didn't work properly, wardrobe doors were worn out (light went on in the middle of the night), carpet could be replaced).

Dear Ms. A., Thank you for your thoughtful feedback regarding your recent stay with us. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed our location, gym, and food, as well as the service from our friendly staff. However, we sincerely apologize for the extended waiting times for in-room dining and your invoice; we understand how this can be frustrating. Additionally, we appreciate your observations about the condition of the rooms and will certainly take them into account as we continuously seek to enhance our guests' experiences.

Pamela L. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

The Norfolk is a nice Hotel which we have known since we celebrated our wedding there in 2004 with guests, but it has changed over the years and the staff and the services they provide are not of the same standard as previously, but I think nor are the clients. The supervisors both in the restaurant and in the bar are not doing there jobs and following up. The service generally take too long time.

Dear Ms. L., Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts regarding your recent experience at Fairmont The Norfolk. We are pleased to hear you found your stay comfortable and value your long-standing connection to our hotel. However, we regret that the service you encountered did not meet your expectations.

Anchal P. Friends - Confirmed reviews ALL

We had a wonderful experience at the Fairmont Norfolk and chose to stay here on our last day in Nairobi after a lovely time at the Maasai Mara. We arrived quite late, but the receptionist and the front office team were very efficient, welcoming, and friendly. Dinner was lovely, although the service was a little slow in between the courses. The ambience throughout the property was beautiful and relaxing, and we had some time during the day to explore and appreciate the property. Breakfast was lively and enjoyable, with the staff being exceptionally warm and friendly. A special mention to Sabri at the waffle corner, who was very kind and welcoming. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and a lovely way to end our trip. Just one small constructive observation for future guests, the chair at the writing desk in our room had some visible stains and could perhaps use a little attention. I would definitely recommend this beautiful property to anyone visiting Nairobi. We truly enjoyed our stay and the warm hospitality.

Dear Anchal P., Thank you for taking the time to share your wonderful experience at Fairmont The Norfolk. We are thrilled to hear that you found your stay beautiful and that our team made a positive impression with their efficiency and friendliness.
