Nairobi Backpackers Hostel

The property is set 5.1 km from Kenyatta International Conference Centre, 3.1 km from Habitat for Humanity Kenya and 3.2 km from Nairobi Botanic Garden.

It's located near Westlands in a secure estate and is a perfect place to escape the craziness of downtown Nairobi. It wasn't too busy when I was there but we had fun chilling and chatting in the reception area, watching a movie in the film room, the kitchen was fully equipped and the beds were comfortable with adequate bedding. The bathroom was clean and large with hot water.
