Not 5 Star. Decent Value
The hotel grounds were lush but the inside of the hotel was decent, and that's the perfect word to describe my overall experience at The Boma Nairobi. The food was just decent. Breakfast? For the money, it was simply "okay."
Truth be told, I was disappointed with my stay. The mini fridge had leftover condensation and a bit of mold inside, which might not have been a huge issue to handle had it worked.
This is a decent hotel - it's not a 5 star establishment.

Check in took a long time and the air conditioner in the room didn’t work well so the room was really warm.
Staff were kind and friendly, willing to help and answer questions.
