This hotel was the one which I chose to stay at during my first visit to Kenya.

Apparently it used to be a government office a long time ago as the layout of the building and floors is just like a government office.
The rooms are adequate enough if you are not expecting any luxury.

One of the few hotels in Nairobi which still has non air conditioned rooms (without even a ceiling fan or a table fan) which can make it hellish since popping the windows will invite the hordes of mosquitos for a blood buffet in your room.

Also very disgustingly, there are bat nests or hornet nests right outside the windows against the exterior walls.

I have spent a sleepless night in one of these non aircon rooms, switching over to the air conditioned room on the 4/5th floors.
Things were not much better as the cleanliness was deplorable, room was mosquito infested and bedsheets looked as if they had not been changed for a month.

The restaurant area on the first floor has it's own charm and is actually pleasant place to spend your spare time with a chilled beer sitting on the ledge watching the world go by on street below.
The breakfast spread is average.

The only advantage of staying here is the close access to the market area nearby ..
Access to the hotel in peak traffic hours is a nightmare as the entire muindi street is blocked as hell.

Inspite of the above mentioned factors I would recommend a short stay here in case you don't mind a frugal and centrally located hotel.
