A three star hotel on Moi S Lake Rd, 0.36 km from the centre of City Square and KICC. You come here for the address and the parking, not for the building. If your day is in the centre, it works. If you want the centre after dark, it does not.
01What it is
Fish Eagle Inn lists the things a short city stay actually needs: a 24 hour front desk, housekeeping, free car parking, and a restaurant on site. There is a bar, a smoking area, and an outdoor pool, and the hotel is wheelchair accessible. Nothing here is a surprise, and the list is thin on detail: no room types, no desk or airport transfer, no gym, and no indication of what the pool area is like outside daylight hours.
What that adds up to is a plain, functional three star hotel on Moi S Lake Rd, inside the City Square and KICC quarter. Book it if your reason for being in Nairobi sits in that quarter and you want to walk to it, or if you are driving in and want the car parked without a fight. Do not book it if you want the city around you in the evening: this part of Nairobi shuts when the offices do. Fish Eagle Inn is for the working day, not the night.

04Standing in City Square and KICC
This hotel sits in City Square and KICC, the civic centre of the grid. The streets here are open paving, flags, and the one tower in Nairobi that everybody can name: the state's block, Parliament, the Supreme Court, City Hall, the Kenyatta mausoleum and the 1973 conference centre whose amphitheatre roof and rooftop deck give the best view of the city there is. It is best for the rooftop view and the shortest walk between the civic landmarks. The quarter lies 0.53 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 7 minutes on foot in a direct line.
After dark it is institutional and empty after office hours. Go in daylight, when the deck is open. If you want somewhere to eat or drink in the evening, this is not it. It suits anyone here for the KICC viewing deck, Parliament or the Supreme Court, and it does not suit anyone who wants company after five.

06Questions
Where exactly is Fish Eagle Inn?+
It is on Moi S Lake Rd, in the City Square and KICC quarter of Nairobi. The address is 0.85 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 11 minutes on foot in a direct line, and 0.36 km from the centre of City Square and KICC.
What does the hotel list as facilities?+
A 24 hour front desk, housekeeping, free car parking and a restaurant. There is also a bar, a smoking area, an outdoor pool, wheelchair access and general parking. The list is short on specifics, so ask the hotel directly about anything you need for your stay.
What is the area like in the evening?+
Institutional and empty after office hours. This is a daytime quarter, and the surrounding streets thin out once the offices close. Treat it as somewhere to sleep and work, not somewhere to spend an evening. For anything after dark, arrange a ride out rather than walking.
What does the guest score of 4.7 out of 5 mean?+
It is the average of nine reviews, so it reflects a very small number of stays. Read it as a positive signal rather than a settled record, and note that a handful of reviews can move a score like this either way.
