Jabulani Nairobi Backpackers Hostel

Westlands, Nairobi

Set in Nairobi, 3.8 km from Nairobi National Museum, Jabulani Nairobi Backpackers Hostel offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a shared lounge. The property is around 5.4 km from Kenyatta International Conference Centre, 3.1 km from Museum Hill Centre and 3.2 km from Sigiria - Karura Forest. The accommodation features karaoke and a shared kitchen. One of my favourite hostels, and actually quite an unexpected surprise. Nairobi really doesn't have a particularly large range of hostels for backpackers, with a glaring gap in the market. The standard then is quite low, and yet Jabulani far exceeds it. Only recently opened, it's very much a labour of love from the owner, Suzanah. There's an incredible homely, sociable atmosphere, easy to meet people, and very comfortable. Certain things are basic, such as the bathroom and free breakfast, however other facilities such as the comfy double beds and hang out areas exceed hostels that are far more established and expensive. Overall Jabulani gave me an excellent introduction to Kenya, and really made my time in Nairobi far more enjoyable than I expected. Highly recommend.
