Saruni Homes - Quiet Affordable Stay Near JKIA Nairobi

Very clean and very quiet it was a wonderful experience, and I hope to return in the future

Nothing everything was wonderful

Close to the airport. Breakfast was provided very early as needed and the airport transport arrived on time. The host was very eager to help us with what we needed and as a one-night stopover before an early flight, it was fine.

This worked for us but was not what we expected. It is basically a house (along the lines of a B&B) with only one room having a private bathroom (although both rooms were described as having one when we booked). It is on an estate with no external sign and would have been very difficult to find if we hadn't had a local person driving us. The host does not live on site and had to be called when we got there (which we were not told in advance). Other people arrived throughout the evening and the host laid on the couch in the dark lounge waiting for them - which I was startled by when I went to get some water! As we found everywhere we stayed in Kenya, you need to take the facilities list with a pinch of salt, eg we didn't have a hairdryer in any hotel although (like Saruni) they all claim to have them!

Location was great near the airport and the Manager Leslie was excellent. Breakfasts were tasty. The house was very secure and comfortable, i ended up staying an extra day as i needed the rest.

The ambience was beautiful

Great African breakfast

Well presented, hot and made to my personal taste

Everything was as advertised and expected

Great for sleeping during a long layover

Safety zone, clean, comfortable beds, late check in. Close to the airport. We used UBER, it was twice cheaper than the apartment transfer. Here is the address that you need to reach out Baraka Estate Embakasi, Court K,06 In uber you can provide only Baraka Estate Embakasi, it’s a fenced area, and you need to say to the security at the gate the number of the house, and they will tell you how to reach.

1. We felt cheated. We booked two rooms and both had in advertisement “private bathroom”(I double checked), but unfortunately, one room was with shared bathroom. In addition we received twin room instead of superior, but we would not put attention on this fact, if we had a private bathroom, but we hadn’t 2. Breakfast - just one boiled egg, bread, 15-20 ml of batter and jam(and we needed to share it between for 4 people), watermelon that was really spoiled(it wasn't even stored in the refrigerator), one banana. It wasn’t enough to fill us up.
