Couldn't always get hot water in shower

Friendly helpful staff, large beds

Stayed in September 2025

It did not have enough washrooms and showers

The staff are really helpful and friendly .They have activities everyday and you can easily socialise with others.

Breakfast not available early in the morning for tours/safaris that start in the early morning. Loud environment, impossible to find quiet space (good if you like party vibes)

Staff are friendly and helpful, strong wifi

Stayed in August 2025

We booked the private double room. It was fine for us but its very basic and rather dark.

The staff, especially James from the reception, were super friendly and also helpful. There are activities for every evening and you can book lots of tours and daytime activities through the hostel and get lots of information from James. The vibe was very nice, the outdoor sitting area is comfy and invites for some drinks and chats.

Amazing hostel for the first stop in Africa. Would recommend it to everyone

Decent hostel in Nairobi. I couldn't spot many hostels in that city so not much of a choice really. Pretty central location and decent enough social scene.

Stayed in April 2025

Nice vibe and mall nearby

Stayed in April 2025

They changed my room after the first day, without notifying me

Location is great and they organize activities together. Rooms are good and clean.

Just a little thing; a better mirror in the bathroom for shaving.

This is a fun place very close to the fun area in Westlands. The owner is a very helpful lady and she knows how to run her business. They have a bar as well and a lit of info on things to do in tge country.

I didn’t find anything significantly negative during my stay. Everything they offer seems to align with the value, and the price is definitely reasonable

I only had a short stay here, but this hostel is really great for solo backpackers. The rooms are clean, and even though the beds are bunk beds, each mattress is quite spacious and comfortable, with curtains for privacy while sleeping and completed mosquito nets. They have a daily schedule of activities that would be great for mingling with other travelers. Breakfast is provided, including avocado toast, omelet, and jam, which I thought was quite good for the price. The location in Westlands is also a plus. The staffs is very friendly, and the owner, who seems to have traveled extensively, has created a hostel with a great vibe. A great place for a fun, affordable and pleasant stay!

Very loud road outside & few quiet places to concentrate. Kitchen is fine but not brilliant for lots of self catering, especially with allergies. Need cash to pay for your room upon arrival.

Stayed several times over February-April. A great place to stay for a while, with access to Westlands (walking on main roads in the area feels incredibly safe as a woman, even in evenings) and central enough to explore Nairobi. Women's room having it's own bathroom is a big bonus for little extra cost. Really sociable- always busy and with good spaces to get to know each other.

Nothing

The staff were great and friendly. The rooms were cleaned timely

Stayed in April 2025

Here you will get the complete hostel vibe. You will meet and chat with many travelers from many countries. The location is good but the breakfast is poor. Also, it would be better if you did not charge extra charges like kitchen charge 1$, towel charge 2$, laundry charge 10$. All in all, I can recommend it.

Stayed in April 2025

What makes this place special is the sociable people: the staff as well as the travelers this hostel attracts. I was there only for one night but immediately got invited into the friendly group and joined the barbecue which we prepared together. Apart from that, there were some power outages and you do have to pay extra for a towel and to make use of the kitchen. No big deal. Payment only in cash.

- breakfast is really small only 2 toast half Avocado and egg. (I would prefer to have the option to pay less but without breakfast) - inside the 4 bed men dorm a bit noisy during the day because of the street. - it is not central, but not too difficult to get a bus to the center.

- Friendly staff - cosy bed - very clean - good chill out areas - hot shower - big locker

Water pressure wasn’t great

Great location and Staff were super helpful - competitive prices for Massai Mara budget tours. Events some nights so easy to meet other travellers.

Stayed in February 2025

Staff was very helpful: Raul arrange a late check in for me and recommend good places. Good atmosphere for solo traveleres with quiet rooms to rest.

Stayed in January 2025

Water pressure in shower was gentle and breakfast wasn't amazing but also you're in Africa and breakfast was free. Still good value for money

Very friendly staff that assist with planning your day and suggesting activities. Something fun to do every night and very social. Easy after hours check in. Good location with plenty of bars and shops and felt very safe walking around. Felt secure and safe. Was clean and saw the staff mopping and tidying everyday.

Stayed in January 2025

Very good vibe here, easy to meet other travellers to share trip ideas. Staff always greeting you with big smiles and super helpful. Location is close to everything you need in Westlands.

No card payment

Decent backpackers hostel for its price. Close to Westlands and the nightlife there. There is a big communal area inside and outside to meet other travelers. The staff was very friendly and I appreciate having breakfast included.

Stayed in October 2024

Breakfast wa very simple, oily fried egg and slice of avo with bread. Good enough tho. Overall the rooms felt a little over priced considering the simplicity of the place and breakfast. But otherwise excellent service, location and vibe. So somewhat worth it.

Nice chill area, social people, hot water, amazing location, included all the basics which is great. Plus games and entertainment nights.

Stayed in December 2024

location right off main highway so can be a little noisy
