A nice little place owned by a very friendly and helpful woman. There's a back yard where I could put and attend to my bicycle and hang laundry. Comfortable beds (exceptionally big beds), big lockers, good showers and toilets. Clean. Friendly and informal atmosphere. Will come back again for sure.

Welcoming atmosphere in a quiet neighbourhood. The property is easily accessible in a compound by the main road. The hosts are friendly and helpful when making plans.They have planned tours you can request. Stayed in the single room which was well fitted with an adequate storage cabinet, work desk and private bathroom with hot shower. Wi-fi is available The kitchen is self service and clean. With fridge, microwave and cooker, I would advise grabbing items to cook or prep. You can pay for breakfast in the morning. The Hostel is uniquely marked to guide the guests on house rules wiith ample living area to interact with other guests. As it was a short stay, definitely looking forward to going back as my go to place in Nairobi, for a social environment close to the city with a bit of quiet when needed.😁

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.
