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 🤩

Jabulani Backpackers! A home away from home. I had a great time! I met many like-minded travelers. The hostel is very close to supermarkets, restaurants, and clubs. It is located in a very safe area of Nairobi. Emily is a hardworking lady—she prepares a good breakfast and keeps the hostel very neat and clean. It was fun talking with James and Susan; they can guide you very well about the city. The beds are very spacious and comfortable, with mosquito nets. I would love to come back here in the future. So much love from India 🇮🇳

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.
