Villa Rock Stop Falls, hotel in Nairobi

Situated in Nairobi, Villa Rock Stop Falls offers a garden. All guest rooms in the guest house are equipped with a TV. Guest rooms feature a wardrobe.

I liked the environment. Being able to read my book and meditate with the sound of the river was magical. I was looking for a calm, quiet place to have some alone time, and Villa Rock Stop Falls was perfect for that. I highly recommend anyone looking for a place to disconnect from the busy life of the city. The staff were all hospitable, and Norman, the manager, was welcoming and kind enough to follow up on my experience when I was checking out.. My stay was perfect!!!

Edaala Comfort - B&B, hotel in Nairobi

Featuring a fitness centre and views of garden, Edaala Comfort - B&B is a recently renovated homestay located in Nairobi, 15 km from Kenyatta International Conference Centre.

We arrived at the early morning and we could have our breakfast before going to sleep. The hosts were really nice and the room was really comfortable. Besides, there is a nice garden if you want to spend some time reading or just chilling. The area was nice and safe so we could walk from here until the Giraffe Center (40min, one way). Overall, we had a great experience.

Location was great, breakfast was good. The Mwai's were a lovely couple, very welcoming, such a shame that Mr Mwai had not been well as I'm sure (going on previous reviews and conversations ) we would have had some lovely evening conversations. Fresh fruit was delicious.

This is by far the best hotel I have been in my 3 weeks in Kenya. The hotel itself is close to luxury, the house has an incredible African atmosphere. It is very close to many nearby attractions, like the Karen museum and the Ngong hills. 100% recommended.

    What a lovely hostel! Location is great, close to shops, museums, easy to get to the centre and a short walk to the arboretum. I had a very comfortable stay, well equipped kitchen so I was able to cook. The communal living room was super cosy to chill in and the garden was so peaceful. Wonderful staff, always helpful and friendly and Kendi the owner was so kind and hospitable; everyone made me feel so at home. You can tell when you walk through the door the passion and love that has gone into making this hostel what it is.
