- toller Ort, um andere Reisende kennenzulernen, Gemeinschaftsbereich mit Sofas, Terrasse, Billiardtisch - geräumige Zimmer mit Schließfächern, teilweise mit Balkon, manche Betten haben Vorhänge & Mückennetze (aber nicht alle), warmes Duschwasser - Cafe‘s & Supermärkte sind fußläufig zu erreichen

- Sauberkeit vor allem in den Badezimmern. Ich war 5 Tage dort und am letzten Tag klebte derselbe Haarbüschel an der Wand, der auch schon am ersten Tag da war. Wird die Dusche 5 Tage nicht gereinigt? - vor meiner Reservierung gab ich Bescheid, dass ich spät nachts/früh morgens ankommen würde & fragte, ob ich in der Lage sei einzuchecken oder ob ich eine extra Reservierung für die Nacht davor bräuchte. Man sagte mir es sei in Ordnung dann einzuchecken. Als ich ankam stand ich vor verschlossener Tür, niemand wusste Bescheid und letztendlich musste ich doch für eine extra Nacht zahlen (Ankunft morgens 5/6Uhr) - ich bekam ein Flughafentaxi organisiert, welches 25USD kosten sollte. Ich hatte 40USD passend, konnte vom Fahrer kein Wechselgeld bekommen, nicht mal in Shillings. („It‘s okay, I can take a tip from you.“)

Nice outdoor space and good energy. For the price (w/ breakfast) it met my expectations.

Water was unreliable and seemed to go out multiple times a day for hours. Maybe it was isolated to that week but that's not the impression I got.

"Fantastic hostel in Nairobi I have lived so far and I really recommended."

10.0

Good vibe hostel with friendly guests and staffs working there. The kitchen area is extremely clean and that area is cleaned everyday to ensure a hygiene communal environment is properly maintained.

So far so good . I am suggesting probably staffs can organize or motivate guests living in the hostel to participate in the activities since it seems like there is only a few people responding and some daily activities designed for each day are cancelled because of insufficient participants. Just my kindly suggestion.
