I highly recommend this accommodation. The owner is exceptionally kind and generous. The house is well-maintained by diligent workers, ensuring everything is clean. They are also very friendly and willing to help. Having lived in East Africa for the past 2 years, this has been my best experience yet. I will definitely recommend it to anyone in the area. The facilities are comprehensive, and the location is very convenient, with supermarkets and currency exchange within walking distance. Additionally, there is a security guard who ensures the safety of the house from evening until morning. It was definitely a value-for-money decision.

Let me tell you why this hostel makes you feel so good that you feel like staying on & on : Double Bed sized bunk beds ( A rare find in hostels across the world) Very friendly, respectful and helpful staff ( especially Dan) Decent sized common area to socialize Huge front lawn Sufficient number of showers, toilets Hot water showers, good flow pressure & good wifi in common area Kitchen to cook with utensils, microwave, fridge etc. Budget restaurants nearby Not far or expensive from city center via uber bolt etc The hostel referred a company for a Safari to madai mara at a very competitive price and turned out a wonderful experience. They don't have lockers but Dan ( staff manager) offers to keep any valuables safely in his private room/locker throughout your stay. Laundry wash and drying machine available at a decent price. WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT! 😄😄 Thanks for the lovely stay Mad vervet, loved it and will definitely be back if ever in Nairobi again

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.
