Great location, clean and new, amazing staff that helps with anything and feels instantly like family. Beautiful garden and peaceful common areas, full use of kitchen, hot showers, laundry, Wi-Fi. It's PERFECT!! I've already booked my next stay with them after climbing Mt Kenya and then booked again for when I am back in Nairobi after Safari. I will always stay here when in Nairobi.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.
