We did one day of our honeymoon in december 2006 and it was a wonderful experience.The rooms,beddings and towels were flawless clean.Will definitely be there some other time. Compared to our other destinations,Norfolk is definetely a cut above the rest .It was to us mainly a winner in the cleanliness,room finishing and the service was also very good.The walkways and setting was very unique and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

next time I'll bring my own bed.

The hotel is OK but the beds are terrible. We just stayed one night after a long flight from Europe and we both did not sleep at all. No good start for a holiday

Historic appeal and memorabilia abound!

Jambo. This is the perfect launching point for a Kenyan safari. The staff is gracious and helpful.
This hotel reflects the history of Nairobi and Hemingway and Teddy Roosevelt who stayed there during the old hunting days. Christmas of 2003 celebrated its 100th birthday. Amazing old photos adorn the walls iin the hallways, displaying the ...

What a lovely place to start our safari in August 2006!Every single staff member was helpful and very friendly, our room, as well as the day room we used, was comfortable and nicely appointed. Sights and city destinations are all quite close; if Micato Safaris uses this hotel, you know it's a good one!AND....the top hatted, formally dressed doorman was an extra nice touch!

Great Arrival and Departure Point
By caroltfountain, 08/24/06
The Norfolk is a great arrival and departure point in Nairobi. A meal on the Lord Delamere terrace makes one feel immediately at home in Africa. The service staff is incredibly friendly everywhere in the hotel. The day-use rooms are less than inspiring, but who really cares. The pool and gardens make this an incredibly family-friendly hotel - just ask our kids.

It was a wonderful friendly place where all the air line flight staff used to stay. The pool was idyllic and yet had an undercurrent of both latent excitment and glorious relaxation. The staff were unobtrusive yet attentive. A memorable watering hole.....Central and yet not glitzy; fashionable but not noveau rich. .....but that was forty years ago....Hope it is just the same.......I think it is. A home away from home.

As residents in Nairobi, my wife and I, for the past ten years have often frequented the Norfolk Hotel. I enjoyed dinning on the Lord Delamere Terrace and at the prestigious Ibis Grill Restaurant, which I found to be the best in Nairobi. My favourite dish was the Giant Prawns. I have, unforutnately noticed that the standard in food quality has ...

I love the Norfolk Hotel!
By A Yahoo! Contributer, 06/04/05
I've stayed at the Norfolk several times and it compares well with many of the best hotels I've seen around the world. And its amazing history makes it that much more special. The rooms are spacious, tasteful and up to 5 star standards. The restaurant selection is excellent, with my favorite being the casual Lord Delamere's Terrace. ...
