Every now and then a mid-range hotel earns its place on a shortlist by simply doing the basics very well, After 40 Hotel, in Nairobi CBD, is one of those. Geographically speaking it's within an easy walk of the city centre, and the reasonable location rating in guest reviews backs that up. Inside, the rooms are practical, and guests pick out reliable wi-fi, an in-house restaurant and on-site parking as the small things that add up over a stay. There's a particular atmosphere to the place, neither overdesigned nor neglected. With around 560 reviews on the books and a broadly positive average, the reception from guests does most of the talking here. Reputation has held up across enough stays to mean something. Recent rates have been hovering around €44 a night, which lands as a strong-value option for the city. Stack After 40 Hotel against the better-known names in Nairobi and the trade-offs become genuinely interesting.
