Sarova Stanley

Historic 1902 hotel on Kimathi Street, home of the Thorn Tree Cafe and a short walk from most CBD sights.

About

The Stanley has hosted travellers since the early days of Nairobi. Its Thorn Tree Cafe was once the place where explorers and backpackers left messages for each other. It is central, good value for the CBD and walkable to the museums and markets.

History

Opened in 1902 and named after the explorer Henry Morton Stanley.

Local tip

Have a coffee at the Thorn Tree Cafe even if you stay elsewhere. Use ride-hailing after dark. Rates vary by season.
