I had 1.5 days until my next flight and decided to stay here last minute. It was an amazing stay! Every member of the staff greeted me with a hello and a warm smile. My room was clean and cozy. The giant bathtub was a dream! There is security in the front of the hotel so as a solo female traveler, I felt safe the whole time I was there. The heated pool was also very nice to enjoy. Would definitely recommend this hotel 10/10

Our family of 4 stayed for two nights in the Sarova Stanley. We found the quality of accommodations to be excellent: the staff were simply amazing - so helpful, friendly, and attentive; the rooms were comfortable and well-appointed; the on-site facilities were great (in particular we loved the heated rooftop swimming pool). Staff helped us book a shuttle for the early morning departure. We did not make use of the hotel's safari booking services or on-site restaurants as we were able to find more cost effective alternatives - budget is a concern for us (although we thought the hotel was worth the cost). Overall, we had no complaints about the Sarova Stanley, and would gladly stay there again and fuly recommend it to others.

Beautiful 5-star property with huge rooms, excellent service, and complete with outdoor pool and a big gym. Has a nice spa and outdoor restaurant as well. Unlimited water bottles is very nice. Located in downtown area. Breakfast buffet is a bit expensive but was well worth the cost as many food options are available. Staff are all extremely kind. Would definitely recommend.

My parents retired recently and I was the traveling agent/ Organizer. They were just coming back from their Zanzibar trip, I chose Sarova Stanley because of its proximity to the bus station. Personally I have never stayed in Sarova hotels. I made the best choice because they can’t stop talking about Sarova Stanley. From the front office (Jesse), the immaculate spacious room, the intercontinental breakfast was mouthwatering, the porters and the chauffeur were delightful. Thank you for making my parents stay worthwhile.

Property is very traditional, some would say dated. It was clean and comfortable. Bed was a little hard for my liking. Staff and service as good. Centrally located, many shops and market for souvenirs just outside. Lastly, food is pricy but good.
