"Aero Club of East Africa review"
1 night Arrived 14 Jul 2015
"While close and convenient to the Wilson airport, the hotel was average at best.
Arriving late in the evening, the security was questionable as the security guard seemed to be dozing on the front porch of the main office.
Although I had requested that a cold plate be prepared for our late arrival, nothing was there for us and no one seemed to know anything about it." See all these reviews: 13n in Kenya; 4n in Rwanda

Feedback Response
We were concerned to read these comments and the Aero Club have responded to say they are very sorry if these travellers experienced a sub-standard stay. They had recently done a "soft refurbishment" before they arrived and nothing was reported amiss about their room at the time. The Aero Club immediately addressed the issue of their security guard dozing and have apologised for that lapse. It's worth bearing in mind that the fenced Aero Club compound is itself within the secure perimeter fence of Wilson Airport. We have heard back from the Creative Kitchen (the Aero Club's restaurant) and it transpired that unfortunately these travellers requested their cold plate for the wrong date. The late meal was confirmed by email, but for the day after their stay.

"Very nice to arrive after a long flight from London and the hassle of getting through Nairobi airport to have a plate of food (scots egg, meat pie and salad) waiting for me even though the bar was closed.
Comfortable for an overnight stay though the bathroom was a bit tired and very handy for the flight up to Nanyuki the next morning.
Friendly staff and free wifi in the club area" See all these reviews: 5n in Kenya

"Aero Club was a nice place to stay after arriving into Nairobi in the late evening.
Clean and comfortable rooms and a fun bar to grab a drink in before bed. Perfectly safe for a solo traveler. Very much recommend especially if catching an early flight out of Wilson Airport to begin your fly in safari." See all these reviews: 5n in Kenya
