Venia Place

Great location - very homely

Poor communication - also only took cash ! Dollars Also gate was locked so if you went out it was difficult to get back in ! Needed to contact owner Communal area www very dark and no tables set up outside

All is good!

Convenient, relatively cheap stay. Great breakfast, welcoming and accommodating staff. Super close to Giraffe Centre, a 2 minute walk away.

No lunch/dinner available, not much of a problem but worth bearing in mind.

We lost money (800 usd) from room, when we stay in yard with no lock. No evident but just the moment that we are not safe pocket near by body.

It’s PERFECT location if you’re going to visit Giraffes central. The house is big and very cozy. Good for staying in calm and green areas of Nairobi. Also not far away from the second airport from where you will fly to safari parks.

You can pay only by cash.

Nice and peaceful place to stay close to the Giraffe center. Staff was also very friendly and helpful.

When I arrived there were problems with WiFi.

This is in a really quiet part of Nairobi. It is a small family run place, I think there are only 5 or 6 guest rooms in it as it is a private residence converted into a bed and breakfast. My colleagues and I were the only ones staying there during our stay, and we chatted with the hosts frequently, watched a movie in the living room, ate dinner with the hosts in the kitchen. It felt so homey, I didn’t even lock my room door.

The shower pressure is a bit low and you need to tell the staff you want to take a shower so they can turn the hot water heater on, which takes 30 minutes or so before hot water is ready.

The house is beautiful and its huge. Also, the place is 3 minutes walk from the Giraffe Center

There is no proper address provided. Its Kima Road 6. The street is totally dark in the night so make sure you go to the correct house or are in touch with the owner

Venia is in a very safe and quiet place near the Giraffe center. Carol the owner was a super kind host and she also arranged a taxi from the airport and a city tour for me. When coming back to Nairobi I would stay there again.
