    The Internet was intermittent. My room was reached by an outdoor spiral staircase like a fire escape. It was raining every night so I ended up soaked. There was a leak in my bathroom which flooded the floor constantly

    Friendly staff, good food, good value.

    Felt very welcomed and at home here- the staff were lovely and went above and beyond to ensure we had the best stay. Food was great and the wonderful Eunice made our stay even better, always positive and lovely to be around. Ken and junior were also great tour guides that looked after us very well and made us feel safe at all times whilst also having fun.

    A Gem in Nairobi: Comfort, Value, and Warmth at Khweza Bed and Breakfast

    Given the overall positive experience at Kweza Bed and Breakfast in Nairobi, there was genuinely not much to dislike. The minor imperfections encountered were vastly overshadowed by the positives, such as the excellent location, affordability, and the warmth of the staff. These strong points made any drawbacks seem negligible, contributing to a stay that was, on the whole, really good and memorable for all the right reasons.

    My stay at the Kweza Bed and Breakfast in Nairobi was thoroughly enjoyable, and it ticked all the boxes for a comfortable, budget-friendly accommodation. Located in a convenient spot that made exploring the city a breeze, Kweza was an ideal base for my Nairobi adventures. The affordability of the stay was a major plus, providing great value without compromising on comfort or essentials. But what truly set Kweza apart was the staff; their warmth and hospitality made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived until my departure. Their attentive service and genuine kindness contributed significantly to the overall positive experience of my stay.

    Bathroom was clogged with hair when we arrived and even after several days of staying, this was not cleaned so water from the shower leaked all over the bathroom floor. Couple cockroaches around the bathroom area.

    Breakfast on the rooftop was really nice! There is a convenient system to order breakfast via website and choose exactly what you want in specific time. We had early arrival and staff managed to get our room ready at 8am which was really helpful!

    Got some bites from the room (not sure if they are bed bugs), room is beside the road so can be fairly noisy.

    Small but comfortable room. Pretty good breakfast with a nice sunrise. TV has Netflix and Youtube

    1 out of 3 nights were noisy. Some people outside were arguing at 3am. The showers get water everywhere and the water gets warm, not hot.

    Khweza is a really good budget hotel. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Mosquito nets provided. They often have fans for your rooms. Having a fan was great, because there is no AC. The rooftop restaurant is a great place to chill. The food is hit and miss. The free breakfast was good. The staff is great. We had many questions and requests and they almost always gave us what we needed. We stayed multiple times and would stay again. The area is not the best, but you can easily get an uber anywhere.

    The bed in our first room was really hard and uncomfortable. The second one was good. The showers are small and everything gets wet, but there is hot water.

    The food was really good and affordable. Location is near center, you can even walk there. The lady who was serving us at the rooftop bar was really nice and helpful.

    Good value hotel with rooftop bar/restuarant

    We only stayed one night as we had a 24 hour layover in Nairobi before flying back to the UK. The hotel is well located and a 10 minute walk to Nairobi CBD. The rooms are basic and clean and what you would expect for the price. The shower wasn't great, but functional and adequate for a night or two. The roof bar and restuarant is a great place to have a beer or a tasty meal. The staff are amazing. They will go out of their way to make your stay a pleasant one. We were leaving at 6am for our flight so we were to miss breakfast, but the staff member Danny insisted on making us a light breakfast of fruits, toast and coffee at 5:30am so we didn't go to the airport on empty stomachs. I would definitely stay again for a night or two.

    Our room was next to the reception so it was loud, unfortunately also during the night when some guests were checking out. Besides that, some noise was coming from the main street but luckily not so much during the night. Also, the light situation is very bad (very weak light bulbs) but we figured it's the general case in Kenya.

    Nice staff, good breakfast. Very relaxing rooftop restaurant. You can buy drinks and water from the hotel for a very reasonable price. We had dinner once, the food was good.

    It is a budget hotel so some things in the room seemed quite worn. I didn’t have any hot water in the shower, despite following the instructions. Quite noisy however I had earplugs.

    The staff are really helpful and friendly and are what make Khweza! - thank you to the staff for helping me with certain things e.g. arranging a last minute mini tour of Nairobi, helping to book my train ticket to Mombasa and storing my bags whilst I was away on safari. The breakfast on the roof terrace was great.

    The hotel is not in the best area and there are loud cars driving by all day and all night but the hotel staff made the experience worth it. Wi-Fi is not the best so we recommend buying a tourist SIM card.

    Amazing staff that’s ready to do anything for you. Dan took us for a city tour that we will never forget. Such a real experience. Peris who works at the tour office was wonderful and made us an unforgettable tour. The reception staff was always ready to help us, they really are the best

    The rooms are pretty small and it is really loud. It’s on a busier road so the trucks and motorbikes in the morning are constant and they might as well be in the room.

    The rooftop is awesome

    My room faced onto a busy road, so it got quite noisy once the morning began. Take earplugs!

    The staff were extremely friendly and helped me with my late checkin, airport transfer and their breakfast and the breakfast system was also amazing. It's a short walk from the city which I did alone a couple of times, but for longer distances I used Bolt or Uber, which is better than getting a taxi because then you have to barter, which isn't my thing at 7am.
