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 loved the quiet oasis & calm sanctuary this provided for our first couple of nights in Nairobi. The bird life in the gardens is incredible. The staff were amazing & we were so happy to see the gates open for us when we arrived very late after a long flight. No fuss; just a welcome & straight to bed.

    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.
