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.

Karen Gables, hotel in Nairobi

Surrounded by 1.5 acres of lush gardens, Karen Gables is situated in Karen, 1.8 km from Oloolua Nature Trail. It is built in Cape Dutch style. Free private parking is available on site.

The setting is beautiful. Very peaceful. We stayed in the ground floor suite and it felt like home . The cocktails are good and we ate dinner and breakfast here. The red snapper dish and prawn curry was delicious. I would thoroughly recommend eating dinner here . We asked for a late checkout and an early breakfast and they were kind enough to allow us both. There are many small areas to sit and relax, eat or have a drink. The birds and garden were a wonderful setting and the pool was lovely. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

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.

Located in a peaceful and safe area of Karen. Amazing, lovely and helpful staff. You feel like at home very quickly. Dogs are guarding the property at night so you can sleep tight. Owners helped us get a trusted cab to get to the airport. In a walking distance there is a shopping center and Whistle Spot Grill where you can have great food and few drinks. 100% recommend. If I am ever again in Nairobi, I will stay in Edaala Comfort! Thank you for your hospitality! ❤️

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!

Kepro Farm was absolutely exceptional. We felt so welcomed and were so happy to meet Mwai and his lovely wife Anne. Anne made us the most delicious local meals and trust me it was another level. The products came directlty from their gardens and were cooked with so much generosity. If one is looking for a Kenyan immersion its the place to go.

This is a great place to stay in Nairobi. Juddy is an absolute gem and really looks after you. This is very much a guest house vibe so expect to stay in a Kenyan home, not a b'n'b. The highlight really is Juddy herself who is so kind, helpful and welcoming. This felt like a more authentic stay experience which I would highly recommend.

    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.
