Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.
The room was so comfortable, clean with smart TV and fast Internet speed. Great location, safe, close to Quickmart, and easy accessible to public transportation. Perfect place to stay, felt very comfortable and would recommend to everyone visiting Nairobi.
Great location opposite Wilson airport so really handy for the early morning flights north. Terrific breakfast which was included in the room rate. Staff are so friendly and accommodating, it makes travelling as a single female very easy and I felt very safe. The taxi pick-up from Jomo Kenyatta was great again, the driver waited despite my flight being late - and immigration taking the time it always does!
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).
The best hostel in Africa!
The hostel is located in a safe area of town & close to all essential amenities.
Vincent the owner knows of all the happenings in town & joins in every chance he gets.
I also met Vincent in his home town & he showed me around for the two days I was there.
