My favourite place is Nairobi 🥹🥺 It’s like a little oasis, it’s so beautiful and it’s the best place you can find in the whole city. The price is amazing for what you get. The WiFi speed is perfect for people who look for a place to work remotely . The garden around the room is really beautiful and the staff is very well trained, respectful and they provide first class services. It feels like being in a very expensive hotel. I will always come back here !! The location is also perfect and very safe . Don’t go anywhere else!!! If you need to relax this is the place for you!!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.
