“Marble Arch sits in the heart of Nairobi's CBD, a location I found genuinely strategic for accessing different parts of the city. I particularly appreciate that, even with its central location and recent renovations, it maintains affordable rates. The rooftop restaurant with its outdoor ambiance is a definite highlight; I imagine the views from there, especially from a private balcony, make for a relaxing end to a busy day.”
