Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Radisson Blu Hotel & Residence Nairobi Arboretum from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise the Radisson Blu's spacious and modern rooms, some even receiving complimentary suite upgrades. Its location is appreciated, placing guests within a short drive of restaurants, bars, and museums, while the adjacent Arboretum park offers a green escape. The Sunday brunch is a hit, especially the wok station, although some guests have found early check-in policies somewhat inflexible. The pool, with a view of a bridge at the reception, is a welcome amenity.
