Eka Hotel
Eka Hotel - Nairobi Kenya accommodation
This business-class hotel on the Mombasa highway is one of the closest in the capital to Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta International Airport – 12km away. Opened in 2012, it has a modern, functional style, late bar, and excellent buffet breakfasts.
Arriving at the Eka, your vehicle goes through an efficient security gate, before parking in the secure car park at the front. When you walk into the lobby, you go through straightforward and friendly airport-style security. To the left is the main reception desk, with the dining room and rear gardens behind. To the right, you’ll find the main bar – the Galaxy – which stays open as late as patrons need its services, and serves decent snacks and light meals. Beyond the bar, there’s a steak house, Soaring Eagle Spur, open daily from 11:00am–11:00pm.
The Eka’s more than adequately sized guest rooms are in two blocks – “Lilly" and “Ivy" – of four floors, accessed by rather narrow and dark corridors. All the Eka’s rooms are air-conditioned and have flat-screen satellite TVs, free Wi-fi, digital safes, tea- and coffee-making sets, luggage racks, walk-in showers and low-level flush loos. Basic toiletries are provided. You can also get hair-driers, irons and ironing boards on request.
