This is a typical guesthouse. It has a warm and friendly staff and a nice property. They will go out of their way for you! But typical for a guesthouse, you must leave your key when you go out. Bring your own shampoo, etc, and hair dryer.

Nice quiet secluded property just about within walking distance of the UNON campus and Village Market mall. Lovely staff, from the breakfast cooks and reception team to the gate security guard, everyone is super friendly and helpful. Clean comfortable rooms, proper mattresses and good shower.

Very nice staff, flexiblenwith our late arrival. Room was nice. Hot shower difficult to sort, and breakfast was ok but a set menu - a waste of food.

Recommended hotel for Nairobi (Girgiri area)
Great family run lodge in a pretty part of Nairobi. Walking distance to the UN complex, restaurants, shopping, etc. They went out of their way to make sure everything was spot on, even preparing breakfast for us at 5 am on our last day, to make sure we had eaten before the taxi picked us up for the airport at 5:30. Breakfast was really good, and their restaurant will prepare dinner on request at great prices.

Good deal for a UN visit in Nairobi
Very well located hotel for a mission at UN HQ. Excellent breakfast. Friendly staff. Suggestion 1: A supervisor should walk around late afternoon and check if all windows are closed. That will prevent from a mosquitoes invasion. Suggestion 2: Post instructions on how to get warm water.
