Excellent – Clean & Great Value! Although i was not able to stay due to last change in plans, I had an opportunity to access the unit for a limited time. The room was spotless, well-maintained, and had all necessary amenities. It offers great value for money with a convenient location and seamless check-in/check-out. Purity is an amazing guest, friendly and helpful. Highly recommended, and I would definitely book again!

Very nice room, very good service, beautiful garden, quite calm, perfect if you have to work around Nairobi area and need a cozy and calm place to relax after work, the food is very good too, staff is very welcoming, helpful and always attentive and still very professional. I think there is not place like it in this price range. Just a very good overall package for a bed & breakfast. Can highly recommend.

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.
