Xenia backpackers is an absolutely fantastic new hostel!! Everything is perfectly clean and comfortable, and the owner Faris and worker Wycliffe are incredibly friendly and make you feel so welcome! The hostel has an amazing view over the city, with a balcony perfect for watching the sunset. I couldn't recommend this hostel highly enough!

Every morning a nice filling breakfast with 2 types of fruit, brown bread toast or chapati or samosa, egg or sausage, coffee. Almost different every day (included in the price if you are a genius). Comfortable bunk wider than average with curtain and power outlet, quiet at the rear of the building. Several common area spaces both inside and outside (rear and front). At a central location in Westlands (Nairobi) with Sarit Mall closeby, Carrefour and Naivas supermarkets, major banks, market with cheap local food stalls, but more sophisticated restaurants in the vicinity as well. Well linked to central Nairobi with public transport such as Matatu's and Boda Boda. Well equipped kitchen and the place is kept very clean. Excellent host who is interested in her guests and helpful in solving any issues. She is an experienced traveler herself.

Stay Social Diani felt more like home than just a hostel. I originally booked for 1 night… and somehow ended up staying for 3 weeks. I just kept extending without even thinking twice. From the moment I arrived, something felt different. It wasn’t just the place it was the people. I quickly stopped feeling like a stranger and started feeling like I belonged. Days blended into each other in the best way: beach trips, shared meals, laughter, and those long conversations that make you forget about time. The staff create a warmth that’s hard to explain. It’s not just service, it feels like they genuinely care about the energy of the place and everyone in it. I arrived planning a short stop, but I left with memories, friendships, and moments I’ll carry with me for a long time. Stay Social Diani isn’t just accommodation—it’s a feeling.

I wish I could have stayed longer at Hera Hostel! The place is so chill and relaxing. The breakfast was delicious, and the rooms were super clean. The shared bathroom was very convenient, and I rarely bumped into other guests. The pets are so funny and cute—they definitely added to the charm! The location is less than a 10-minute walk from the beach, and the staff is amazing. They gave me all the tips to get around, plus contacts for motorbikes, tuktuks, and taxis. I really hope I’ll be back soon!
