so far ive enjoyed everything about the place and Jack's promptness in responding to every request and providing solution's to every little and big challenge.

I was fascinated by the traditional cuisine and thanks to Yvonne and Jack for your friendliness and reaching out to help even beyond your roles such as organising transport in a vert trustworthy approach

It took me a little while to figure out the system for hot water in the shower! (My fault). And the pool was a bit smaller than I thought it might be (but you could still have a proper swim in it).

It was a beautiful colonial house with a swimming pool and lovely garden. The rooms were old-fashioned but spacious, and the two charming staff members I met, Jack and Yvonne, were wonderfully kind and thoughtful. Yvonne cooked breakfast on the spot - delicious - and Jack provided towels, hairdryers, taxis and helpful information.

I had a wonderful experience at Dreamplace Gigiri. The guesthouse is quiet with beautiful gardens and a pool, lovely staff in Yvonne and Jack to take care of you, comfortable bed, lots of hot water, huge breakfast and superfast WiFi. The location is fantastic at just 1 minute walk to Village Market mall with restaurants, cafes and supermarkets. Excellent price for the facilities and location - highly recommend!

No complaints!

If you are tired of anonymous hotels with a lack of personal service, then I strongly suggest you try Dreamplace. Jack and Yvonne will do their best to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Internet, beds, cleaning, breakfast service, pool, and location were all very good!

The bed was uncomfortable- too hard for me. Perhaps they could consider changing mattresses or offering mattress toppers.

The location was excellent for UN meetings. 14-15 minutes walk. The breakfast was excellent and there was a regular supply of teas, coffee, hot chocolate. The staff were very welcoming and attentive.

Would have been great if it was possible to buy a beer or drink and maybe a light snack to enjoy the tranquility in the beautiful garden in the evenings.

Very calm and peaceful. Close to UNON office. Close to Village Market. Tremendous breakfast! So tasty!

Dreamplace is located in a very safe neighborhood, 3 min walking distance to the village market. Jack is a welcoming person. I felt like at home.

There was some confusion about eggs and the way we wanted them to be cooked. We asked for fried eggs and a plain omlette arrived. This is the only place that we had difficulty getting the eggs right. The kitchen seemed a little grubby and there were quite a lot of flies around opened jars and cans.

We arrived in the early hours of the morning after an overnight flight. We were met and greeted by Jack despite the hour. He was extremely friendly and carried our bags straight to our room. He made sure that we had clean towels and water to drink. He assured us that breakfast would be available when we woke up, no matter what the time was. He was also very helpful in helping us to set up and use the UBER app which made our expeditions around Nairobi so easy. He also suggested places that we might like to visit. He made our stay quite enjoyable. It was nice to be able to sit outside in nice grounds. The pool was clean.

Dream Place was an ideal introduction to Nairobi. The staff, Jack and Yvonne, are very kind and helpful. The breakfasts on the terrace, with huge avacados from the garden, were a highlight. The property is within easy, and safe, walking distance to the UN and Village Market. The property was quiet and peaceful.

Dreamplace is a very conveniently located guesthouse near the UN in Gigiri, Nairobi. Good hospitality is offered with care. The rooms are comfortable and the breakfast is presented well.

Mosquito nets would be good. They left me a room spray and that helped but the first few nights were a bit disturbed. But that was honestly the only complaint.

Excellent value for money, Friendly staff, extremely convenient location, nice breakfast, nice swimming pool, overall very happy with the booking

Everyone was really nice and it is a great place to stay.

Initially I was in a room close to the road and it was somewhat noisy, but the hosts kindly changed and everything was fine after that. Thanks Jack for being so kind!!

This property is a great location and accurate to all reviews. It is secure, an easy walk to the UN complex, shopping and has a lovely outdoor garden, eating area and pool. The avocados grown on the property are magnificent. Jack is an amazing host and will do anything to ensure you enjoy the stay. The owners are also upgrading the wifi and other aspects.

Nothing in particular

It’s conveniently located in Gigiri a stone throw away from IOM health screening center and the few minutes walk to village market among other amenities. The neighborhood is quiet and lush as well. The property has a home feeling with spacious self contained rooms and a sizeable compound dotted with trees.

Stayed in July 2023

Is not close to the center, so it really depends of what are your needs. Ok to rest, but not the right choice if you want to meet other people.

The most positive point is without a doubt the kindness and availability of the people, making you feel very welcome and taken care. The breakfast is good and freshly prepared according to your wishes from a menu. In general is a good place to stay specially if you plan to do things around Gigiri area, having a good price/quality relation.
