Best service and customer care by Joan Mwavala
Joan followed up immediately after check -in to check if our rooms were well prepared, had all amenities as well as if we needed anything during our stay. This was a good demonstration of customer care and excellent guest services!

Great staff, quiet night sleep but ageing furnishings and so so food offerings
The food offerings on menu are reasonably good but very pricey ( minimum 20 euro for burger and beer?). The breakfast is hit and miss. I'm not into the cheese and meats thing..but they didn't look great anyway. Most of the hot food offerings in large copper bays is cold or lukewarm. But you can order fresh cooked egg options and there are other offerings like roti and Asian food at breakfast too. There are plenty of good coffee options and a good fruit and yogurt selection. A small outdoor terrace is available for outdoor dining which is pleasant enough for a city hotel rather lacking in any outdoor space at all. There is a small pool..think pond..on the roof with an outdoor terrace but no real views. A small gym has a range of equipment but frankly the ceiling is a bit low. But it's ok for a short work out.
For Vips, there is a decent enough lounge on the 7th floor, it's ok for quite moment during the day. And you can grab a free coffee or mineral...they offer a small buffet and cocktail which is frankly a a bit of a rip off with a meagre two hour offering between five and seven.... The food often feels and tastes like second rate and is often cold or gone before u can blink. You are far better off eating out that forking up to 80USD daily for this unimpressive offering ..access is free with more expensive rooms..so you pay one way or the other.
As I said the staff are lovely..but I don't know what account system they use at reception but they are painfully slow..so be warned.
The hotel is well located close to sarit mall which has lots of shops and diners and a few bars also. You can walk...do..get the fresh air.
Sankara is decent but it's a typical ageing bonvoy hotel and way too expensive for what they think they are. It's more 4 star than five star and there are some better options in Nairobi these days.
I think I said it already..but at least you will be assured of a good night sleep when it's not too busy.

Stayed in: Feb 2025
The staff - 10 stars out of 5. Very (super) friendly and helpful and came through on every request.
The only minor squawk I would give the hotel is that the bar on the first floor could do with an update and a more robust selection of liquor. It was a bit to sterile for my tastes - leaving money on the table for the hotel. The rooftop bar and pool were nice but again suffer from a narrow selection of alcohol.
But overall - 5 of 5 stars! Truly enjoyed my stay.
