Nairobi

Thanks guys for the contact details for Terminal Hotel.

Now I can't help asking for a comparison between Terminal Hotel and Parkside Hotel or Eureka hotel in terms of price, safety and cleaness. Are they all more less the same and good for monering?

[QUOTE=Noddy]Coogee,

Beware of the link below Coogee, those photos are somewhat misleading, unless the hotel has been recently redecorated, which i doubt.[/QUOTE]Thanks for your advise, I booked the double room @ terminal hotel by phone for 25 USD per night.

Good job. I noticed the Terminal Hotel is almost always fully booked. At least now. Must be all the lurking mongers ;)

Does anyone know of good places to go mongering during the day time, when all the usual bars and clubs are closed. Are the shopping malls/centres the place to go?

[QUOTE=Screwed Up]Good job. I noticed the Terminal Hotel is almost always fully booked. At least now. Must be all the lurking mongers ;)[/QUOTE]From 2/11 till 5/11. I was staying in terminal. Sorry. Not always full booking.

But many hot guys staying in terminal. My roomclaener Francis will help you if you need advice. But Hi will help to lossed your money. For himself. But for 2 tuskers. It will by ok. This hotel now very well how to handling hot mzungus.

I was in Nairobi for about 4 days in October and found a new hotel called Green Court Hotel. Its on Latema Road off Tom Mboya Street, next to Midview Central Hotel.

It was well decorated and had a nice restaurant with tasty dishes. I paid 1500 per night without breakfast. The rooms were nice and the beds were good, I chose a room with a big window as some dont have a window to the outside but a small window onto the interior corridor and they were less light and airy. The rooms at the back and side are quiet and equipped with hot shower and satellite tv. Not bad for 1500. Its fine for mongering. I would recommend the hotel. The bar/restaurant is on the first floor, reception on 2nd floor, so if you have your room key you can climb from bar to room without directly passing reception. So if you brought in different girls it wouldnt be noticed.

The bar and restaurant are nice places to chill in when you want a change from your room and they show live UK football matches in both...its not quite as crowded and noisy as some bars! But you can watch the same matches in your room if you prefer. There is no need for a/c or fan, you just open the window a little. The bed has a surrounding curtain-like mosquito-net, which makes it seem like a sexy inner sanctuary. My girlfriend really liked the place and we made love without a care in the world.

I would recommend the hotel to anyone who is watching the pennies and you can get a cab just near the entrance if you dont want to walk around town.

I will be visiting Nairobi sometime this month and as have the evenings booked with meetings and dinners was wondering where to get the numbers of MP's etc.

Previously used the Nation and Standard but it seems they have stopped advertising.

...but may I assume that this hotel is centrally located to the mongering action?

Hi brother:

yes, you assume correctly! However, please be on the safe side and always take a taxi when it's getting dark - even for 500 meters! It's different than in Accra!

Cheers!

My sense of Nairobi's safety, or lack of it, is very lacking.

From sources as varied as the New York Times travel section to Tripadvisor to here, reports of the advisability of walking around downtown at night are inconsistent at best; some suggest it is not a problem, others that it is sheer folly. Complicating the task of trying to glean a reasonable impression is the fact that the dangers themselves may well change with time, economic and political circumstances, etc.

A better sense of the safety of wandering is important to me, since such a huge part of the pleasure I derive from mongering involves the freedom to knock about in leisurely fashion, sampling the goods with my eyes and with conversation, moving on or stopping a while - shopping at my pace and without the pressure of crowds and loud music. Doing it from the cage of a taxi is rather unappealing.

I would love to hear from members about their take on the safety issue, and on what facts, if any, this take is based.

Thanks, as ever, in advance.

As with most cities worldwide ... "Common Sense" is the main safety factor !
The overall safety and even cleanliness of Nairobi has improved considerably over the past few years.
There are some areas in the city that are not recommended for a white guy to walk alone - at night - and so a taxi is recommended for even short trips.

There are areas in the city that are "okay" - depending on the common sense - eg :
Don't walk around with flashy jewelery / cameras / watches on show
Don't walk around with a fat wallet protruding from a pocket - and don't flash
wads of cash when paying for a drink etc !
Keep out of dark & deserted streets and alleys - stay in the man streets where there are people on the move, best of course in the better lit sides of the street.
After a few drinks ... get a cab back to the hotel !

Gesheft is right! However, I would like to add that there are even locals who take a taxi for the very short distance from Simmers to Madhouse when it's getting dark! IMHO better to be on the safe side!

Cheers!
