I have thoroughly enjoyed my stay and recommend this hotel! The staff was extremely friendly and accomodating. They made me feel very welcome. There are many security measures to ensure guest safety. The cleanliness is also very good. The breakfast has many options for all tastes. The Indian resturant is also very lovely with a fantastic view. Robinson and Joseph where very nice as well!

This was a pretty nice decent hotel and we appreciated the warm welcome with fresh orange juice and warm towels. That was very nice. Our room was beautiful and spacious. However, the hotel is not completely done with construction at the top levels so that was a little weird to see and the room service could be better, but generally speaking the folks we encountered were really sweet and kind and the hotel is quite lovely so we would definitely return in the future.

Overall westland is considered safe and one of the best in Nairobi, but it is still advisable to not venture alone after dark, even coming back at night from the near by malls.
