"快適!"

10.0

ドミトリーを貸切で使ってました。 Wi-Fiも部屋で使えますし、お湯シャワーも出るし、凄く快適でした。 夜行バスでカンパラは向かいましたが、時間までリビングでダラダラさせてくれました。

看板が出てないのでわかりにくいことくらいです。間違えて隣の家をピンポンしてしまいました。

"Excellent Service, Clean and Comfortable"

10.0

The property is very clean and spacious. All beds in the dorm were double and very comfortable. Probably one of the best mattress I have slept on. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. They let me leave my luggage in the room after the check out. Breakfast was basic but nice (Bread, butter, tea and coffee). The only comment I will have that there was no signage outside the property so it can be bit difficult to find the place.

"Spacious pleasant house but lacking in human warmth and facilities."

7.0

The wide bed, the spacious 6 female dorm, lounge and kitchen, the feel of a family home converted to a hostel.

The distance from the city centre, the lack of presence, warmth and services that normally go with a hostel: ready, accessible information on places to visit or eat; transport options and help with onward bookings ( not always easy with Kenyan websites!). The breakfast was really basic and was available at varying hours, there was an attached bathroom for the 6 ladies dorm where I stayed 2N but the only other bathroom was shared by 3 other mixed dorms where I stayed another 2 nights...therefore largely insufficient.

"Amazing value for money in Nairobi"

9.0

Super clean, comfortable beds, spacious table to work in, nice couches to hang out in, and a simple garden.

Wifi only available in the main floor (not where most of the rooms are located), drinking water not provided.

"Not satisfied"

5.0

Washroom was clean and the dorm room

The location was very far and there was no board outside the hostel. I reached late at night and I couldn’t find the hostel only. After I reached, there was no receptionist, the security guard took me to my dorm room and fairly explained about the facilities. There was no drinking water. It was night 1100pm, he said I would have to go out and buy water if needed. The light went off at midnight and did not come till next morning 0630h

.The room was comfy and the rooms were really nice in general.

I arrived at the properlty very late, around 3 am. It was hard for me and the driver to find the place. It didnt have any table outside. So i had to knock and ask the guard if it was the hostel. The breakfast was very poor.
