Nairobi

[QUOTE=Hotman 666; 1240873]Hi Guys,

I will shortly be in Nairobi for a week (my first time in Kenya!)

I have to be somewhere near the KICC (Kenya International Conference Centre) for business but I want to make SURE I pick a GF hotel that is well located for my 'evening activities! '

I am looking for something around a 4* and would be most grateful if someone could give me some recommendations (either by posting or by pm)

Thanks in advance,

Hotman. (a Kenya VIRGIN!) [/QUOTE]In all of the hotels mentioned before (Hilton, Stanley, Crowne Plaza, InterConti and also Serena) you won't have any issues at all if you book a double room w / double occupancy in advance. However, all of those hotels insist that your guest needs to be registered and therefore needs to carry a national I'd card.

I personally find the Hilton horrible and overpriced, however the location is very convenient. The rooms in the Stanley are fairly noisy if you happen to get a room on the street-side. I found the Crowne Plaza very pleasant but its a nightmare to get back to CBD during rush hour. Also, like all hotels in upper hill its a non-smoking hotel, which might not be a big deal if you are a non-smoker.

Please do not pick up any girls in hotel bars. They are overpriced and you find much better looking company outside.

[QUOTE=AR2011;1241387]Can you say that from personal experience?[/QUOTE]Yes! I have sampled women from the entire Eastern African region, except for Ethiopean. Please take the time to read the forum, your answers are within. A few have taken the time and trouble to post reports for all to glean. Perhaps we will be reading your sexperience upon your return.

Whenever I am in Nairobi I always stay at Intercon.

Hi,

I would be visiting Nairobi next month. I was suggested 680 hotel, is the hotel GF and is it near the pick up bars. What are the girls pick up rates currently in USD for the full night.

Thanks

I am looking for a hotel around CBD as well and wish you luck in your search.

I have travelled widely around the world but never been to Kenya before.

Reading the reports on the various travel sites it seems rather difficult to find ANY Nairobi hotel with consistently reasonable reviews that offers the facilities that we mongers want!

SixEighty hotel on trip adviser has 60 reviews.

2 put it in the Excellent category. 12 say Very good. 16 say Average. 15 say Poor and 15 rate it as Terrible!

Quite a variation!

Several reports mention thefts from guest rooms.

Don't get me wrong. I am NOT 'knocking' this hotel as I have NEVER stayed there myself and the bad reports seem quite typical of MANY of the Nairobi hotels. From Two star to Five star, all the hotels that I have checked seem to have a wide spread of reviews ranging from 'JUST GREAT' to NEVER AGAIN. '

I am not difficult to please but I can not remember EVER having so many problems in picking somewhere to stay!

Just a 'reasonable' CBD located 4 Star that is safe and GF and which is not going to hit me with some huge extra for 'joiners' would be good! '

I read conflicting report on ISG and other sites. Some say 'no problem if you book a double room' Others talk of being hit with a charge of up to US$100.

It would be nice if 'playmates' could be found nearby to the hotel and (for me) if they had smoking rooms also.

So, I will be very interested in any replies that you get and, if I can ask you a favour. As my visit is not until after your trip I would welcome any comments that you may have when you return home.

Hope you Enjoy,

Hotman

I shall be arriving in Nairobi on the 27th March for what will be my first mongering trip to Kenya. And I've booked the 680 hotel. If you are arriving before me and elect to stay at this hotel it would be good to get your feedback on it and a report on the girls that frequent the bar and the Simmers bar / club opposite. If by chance you are still there when I arrive I would be pleased to buy you a beer.

You can find the forum members suggested overnight rates for girls on a few pages in this forum. Just use xl. Com to do your conversion. Should you wish to avoid the thrill of the chase / the hassel of negotiating rates there's nothing to stop you from using the likes of [url]www.kenyaraha.net/index.aspx[/url] And use their search facility.

Generally it is very difficult to speak about the quality of hotels in any country, In Kenya it's impossible. However, it depends on what you want and how much you are willing to spend. I've never been to the 680 Hotel. I slept in Ambassador hotel, too noisy and quality not comparable whit the fee; Oaxwood is not bad but it also, according to Western standards, is not worth the price you pay. In 2006 I was several times at the Embassy hotel: spartan. 1500 ksh per night and something else (perhaps 500) if you bring a girl. It is close to the Madhouse. I sew good reports about Terminal Hotel, not far away. In general, in my experience, hotels with average prices are not worth the asking price, while those with low price are very basic but what you pay. The superior hotel are uncharted waters for me. I think all hotels in Nairobi are girl friendly.

Usually that fitting figure is the equivalent of 10-30 USD and on a few rare occasions have I parted with 50-100 USD (in most of those instances, I was under duress from a troublemaking Chica or splitting that between two chicas). Though if I hit the lottery, I might just become a high roller many on here love to hate!

[QUOTE=Hotman 666; 1245237]Tercar,

I always stay at Chester House. These are apartments so you get more room (bedroom, lounge, kitchen, balcony). It has a restaurant (never eaten there) , bar, pool. The rooms are abit basic but are clean (never had an insect problems) , TV, free Wi-Fi. Completely free to bring someone back. They take their I'd for your protection. And it is right next to Madhouse and two minuites walk from Simmers. There is a gym and Barclays bank right next door.

Hi Guys,

Thank you for your feedback, As I will be going to NBO for my business trip, I would not like to travel very far for Mongering. Is 680 Hotel ideal place to be for night action or I should look for some other hotel. My hotel budget is not more for USD 50 per night.

Thanks

Thanks[/QUOTE]Hi Tercar,

I think that you are going to be hard pushed to find a Hotel at less than $50 a night in central Nairobi. Hotel Kipepeo and Blue Hut Hotel are the only ones that came close in my search. $51 and $53 per night respectively for single occupancy whilst the 680 was $95 per night. I read this forum to ascertain whether the hotel was girl friendly and also checked out traveltrip advisor. It was there that I saw that a lot of hotel bars (the 680 included) are frequented by working girls. Perfect for me as I, like Jiggydus, would rather chase down my own girls in the bar or preferably a club (like Simmers opposite the 680) and collect numbers and then call / hook up with them the following day but only after I have negotiated an all inclusive fee fixed fee. I know me and my little man clouds the issue somewhat unless he has just been taken care of.

I append the link to the hotel search engine I used. Hope it helps.

Hi.

I managed to get a very good deal from 680 Hotel, Seems to be an ideal place, hence I will cofirm my booking with them.

Thanks again,

Cheers

Cheers!

Although I've been going to Thailand two / three times a year for the past decade this will be the first time I've gone mongering in Africa. I have found that what suits me best is to overdose on chicks for the first few days and then select one to be my constant companion for the remainder of my stay. Easy enough in Thailand. I just pay the Long Time (overnight) rate and then treat them as a girlfriend, picking up the tab for food, drinks, trips out and the like and on occasion buying selective items of clothing that I will enjoy them wearing.

Does the same rule of thumb apply in Nairobi and what should I budget bearing in mind I prefer gazelles to buffalo?
