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!!

A great hostel to spend few days in Nairobi, a bit away from all the craziness of the city but still a perfect location. It was really clean, peaceful and the staff there is amazingly kind and caring, thanks for everything 🤩

Run by experienced traveller Susan, she does an amazing job at creating the best possible experience for her guests. She is the kindest, most helpful host you can imagine! We and the other guests had dinner together (fully equipped kitchen and nearby supermarket), went out to the best places (she knows all!), had an outdoor big screen movie night with popcorn. All so much fun! The place is kept super clean, spacious beds, hot showers, and the delicious free breakfast is the cherry on top! Can't wait to go back!

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.
