    There was a very loud bar across the street keeping us from sleeping. It was unusually hot in Nairobi and the hotel doesn’t have A/C or a fan in the room.

    It was not expensive and close to our bus station leaving early the next morning. And they had some breakfast ready for us at 5:00 am per our request

    There is not a safe in the room for items such as your passport. Good luck securing your valuables. As for the location, this is River Road, Nairobi. Don't expect a welcoming environment outside the hotel. Don't walk around the hotel with any valuables or even your cell phone readily accessible. Secure your possessions.

    The staff is exceptionally friendly. The place is secure once you are on the inside.

    The property was in a really loud neighbourhood, also really wasn’t clean at all, the bathroom shared toilet and shower with no courtain so the water, which was cold, went all over the place. Would not recommend staying.

    They provide 24/7 check in.

    We had a room with balcony booked. The room had one window and that was to the hall. That was a bit disappointing surprise. The hotel could need renovation in all.

    Staff was outstanding and made us feel very welcome and safe. Thanks for that!

    The check in process was over an hour. The booking.com is not well integrated in this country's hotel network. The room was awful and hot. The sound isolation of the hotel was very bad. You could hear everything what was happening on different floors.

    Bed was okayand the pillow was hard and stiff too.

    The windows open onto a corridor in which the light is on all night, so the room is very light to sleep (there are curtains, but they don’t help). Terrible soundproofing, when someone in the corridor speaks, you can hear every word, and there is a club opposite where loud music plays at night, it is impossible to fall asleep.

    It was clean, friendly staff, comfortable bed. The hotel provides shower gel, soap, body cream, as well as a towel and slippers.

    A haven in a congested part of downtown Nairobi
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveler
    • Single Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    On Sunday morning a large flat-screen TV located in the breakfast room was blasting an extremely loud religious program, competing with all the obnoxious loud music from the street outside. The cacophony of sound from both inside the hotel and outside iinvaded my bedroom even long before I went downstairs for breakfast, While I don't object to people practicing their Christian religion, I do not believe a hotel guest should be force-fed either religion or music, especially not so early on a Sunday morning. But maybe this is a cultural thing, so I guess visitors should be tolerant.

    This hotel accommodated me when another nearby hotel (where I had a confirmed reservation) turned out to be full. Delfirm was a breath of fresh air -- clean, spacious, centrally located, good WiFi, and a restaurant -- a haven in a part of downtown which tends to be extremely congested and chaotic. The staff was personable and friendly. The Operations Manager, Sammy, was especially helpful to me, opening up the hotel rooftop to me when I learned to my dismay that the city of Nairobi now does not permit smoking anywhere on the streets except in 'smoking zones', which, not being designated, are anybody's guess where they are located. The one such zone that was pointed out to be me by locals was a small patch of dirt strewn by construction rubble and without any seating, clearly meant only for those who want a quick puff on a cigarette. (I have never smoked cigerettes, but do enjoy a cigar on extended walks, or smoking a pipe while seated in a quiet spot away from other people, both of which proved impossible in downtown Nairobi.)

    The wifi was missing in action. They did not have an alternative and so I had to purchase my own bundles.
