Set in Nairobi, 4.6 km from Nairobi National Museum, The Library Hostel offers accommodation with a garden, private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a concierge service, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The property is non-smoking and is located 6.1 km from Kenyatta International Conference Centre. This is a great hostel maybe even the best in Nairobi (I have only been in two tho). It is clean, new and not crowded. I was working online during the day and I was completely alone and could enjoy the silence. There is breakfast included and there is a nice cafe where they have vegan milk nearby. Plus there is a big supermarket also close. Fred is very helpful with stuff like make a call or give information. All in all I’ve extended my trip and spent 4 days here , met great people and had time to rest.

Set in Nairobi, 3 km from Nairobi National Museum, Jabulani Nairobi Backpackers Hostel offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a bar. Located around 4.8 km from Kenyatta International Conference Centre, the hostel with free WiFi is also 1.8 km away from Eden Square Office Block. The accommodation features karaoke and a shared kitchen. Jabulani reminded me of the reason why we all travel; even with the focus of staying to explore and experience new places, for me it's about calling a place home. Making new friends that bonds for a lifetime. And Jabulani is the perfect place to do that. I think Susan, and her kind heart makes this much more comfortable for every traveller in Jabulani. Would always come back to NAIROBI to stay here.
