The hotel is set in a natural rock garden leading down to the waterfalls. Every room overlooks the falls. It's built by a Danish-Norwegian architect in a way that adapts to the nature around it. As a Norwegian I LOVED it. The staff are SOOO attentive and kind. They really go above and beyond. The breakfast is generous and the dinner is tasty and great value for money. Leave the window open at night and the falls give you the perfect white noise to fall asleep to.

    I used Nairobi as a base from which to organise my tours and activities so I stayed at Nairobi backpackers several times in-between each activity. I had a comfortable stay in one of the dorms and managed to meet a couple of people at the hostel (despite the fact that it was a bit quieter given that it was low season). Steven who looks after the place is nice and provided a warm welcome. He also arranged for me to attend a 4 day safari at a competitive price (cheaper than what I found elsewhere).

    Very friendly host. Breakfast with daily changing fresh fruits, toast and eggs. Clean room. Quiet neighbourhood a bit off the city center. Good WiFi, had one longer blackout but this seems unusual.

    A beautiful house in the lovely area of Karen. This is a great location if you want a quiet and restful place to explore the area. Close to the Karen Blixen museum and giraffe center. The hosts are wonderful and helpful. You feel very much at home in this place. Highly recommended to anyone wanting to explore the area.

    Ambience: the place is truly a home away from home. Quiet serene environment well-maintained garden. I enjoyed sitting on the terrace looking at the garden and listening to the birds sing. It was nice to come from a busy day of work and stay at this peaceful guest house. The host is also great everything went so smoothly and I enjoyed every bit of my stay

    Excellent hospitality, yes! Great location, yes! Hostel and backpacking vibe, yes! Susan is a great host, and she is running a great hostel. I got loads of great local tips from her, and it feels like a home away from home. Everything was perfect, I know where to stay once I'm back in Nairobi

    Couldn’t give a better review, Victoria was a great host who went above and beyond for us, the apartment was absolutely amazing, it’s in a great location and right opposite a mall. Housekeeper was provided and she was absolutely lovely. Will recommend this place to everyone I know and if i’m ever in Nairobi I will definitely stay here again. Thank you again.
