I had a wonderful time here and the accommodation is surrounded by a beautiful forest and a river. It was very clean, the breakfast the best I had on Kenya. The owner is very friendly and helpful and also the stuff is great. I can recommend staying here. It an oasis within a big city and the area is very safe. Thank you so much for having me and helping me. Next time I’m here, I will come back.

Boasting a fitness centre and views of garden, Edaala Comfort - Cottage Rooms is a recently renovated guest house situated in Nairobi, 15 km from Kenyatta International Conference Centre.

Absolutely amazing place. I stayed here so I could visit the giraffe centre which is close by. The cottages are spacious, comfortable and clean. The host was like my mum - very caring and wanted to look after me. She is such a special and amazing lady. I have travelled to so many destinations and this is definitely one of the best places I have stayed in. I wish I stayed longer!

    I used Nairobi as a base from which to organise my tours and activities so I stayed at Nairobi backpackers several times in-between each activity. I had a comfortable stay in one of the dorms and managed to meet a couple of people at the hostel (despite the fact that it was a bit quieter given that it was low season). Steven who looks after the place is nice and provided a warm welcome. He also arranged for me to attend a 4 day safari at a competitive price (cheaper than what I found elsewhere).

    Very friendly host. Breakfast with daily changing fresh fruits, toast and eggs. Clean room. Quiet neighbourhood a bit off the city center. Good WiFi, had one longer blackout but this seems unusual.

    Ambience: the place is truly a home away from home. Quiet serene environment well-maintained garden. I enjoyed sitting on the terrace looking at the garden and listening to the birds sing. It was nice to come from a busy day of work and stay at this peaceful guest house. The host is also great everything went so smoothly and I enjoyed every bit of my stay

    Excellent hospitality, yes! Great location, yes! Hostel and backpacking vibe, yes! Susan is a great host, and she is running a great hostel. I got loads of great local tips from her, and it feels like a home away from home. Everything was perfect, I know where to stay once I'm back in Nairobi

    Couldn’t give a better review, Victoria was a great host who went above and beyond for us, the apartment was absolutely amazing, it’s in a great location and right opposite a mall. Housekeeper was provided and she was absolutely lovely. Will recommend this place to everyone I know and if i’m ever in Nairobi I will definitely stay here again. Thank you again.
