This is a beautiful house with gardens and pool, the rooms are comfortable, but the staff is their best asset as they make you feel special and at home. very conveniently located and on a well lit street.

Would have been great if it was possible to buy a beer or drink and maybe a light snack to enjoy the tranquility in the beautiful garden in the evenings.

Very calm and peaceful. Close to UNON office. Close to Village Market. Tremendous breakfast! So tasty!

There was some confusion about eggs and the way we wanted them to be cooked. We asked for fried eggs and a plain omlette arrived. This is the only place that we had difficulty getting the eggs right. The kitchen seemed a little grubby and there were quite a lot of flies around opened jars and cans.

We arrived in the early hours of the morning after an overnight flight. We were met and greeted by Jack despite the hour. He was extremely friendly and carried our bags straight to our room. He made sure that we had clean towels and water to drink. He assured us that breakfast would be available when we woke up, no matter what the time was. He was also very helpful in helping us to set up and use the UBER app which made our expeditions around Nairobi so easy. He also suggested places that we might like to visit. He made our stay quite enjoyable. It was nice to be able to sit outside in nice grounds. The pool was clean.

Dreamplace is a very conveniently located guesthouse near the UN in Gigiri, Nairobi. Good hospitality is offered with care. The rooms are comfortable and the breakfast is presented well.

Mosquito nets would be good. They left me a room spray and that helped but the first few nights were a bit disturbed. But that was honestly the only complaint.

Excellent value for money, Friendly staff, extremely convenient location, nice breakfast, nice swimming pool, overall very happy with the booking

Note: We had the budget room. If you have any of the other rooms, your experience will greatly differ (positively)! The bed and breakfast was in a state of planned construction so there were plenty of visible improvements to-be-made but not made yet. The budget room is okay for a night or two but not recommended for longer stays as it is extremly space limited as well as a very poor mattress. The staff were overworked although very friendly. The breakfast took a very very long time to be done so dont plan to go to work in a rush. The area is very expensive at Gigiri and the accomodation does not quite fit into the right price category.

Note: We had the budget room. If you have any of the other rooms, your experience will greatly differ (positively)! Every morning we had plenty of fruits and the biggest avocados I have ever seen for breakfast. The staff were very friendly and offered plenty of support did we need it. The location is great for any quick runs to the nearby mall as well as for any work related visits to the diplomatic sector and the UN. Around the corner you can walk to the Karura Forest which can take anywhere from an hour to a whole day! The B&B has a pool that is well maintained and cleaned should you need a dip! Overall, we spent evenings in the lobby where the wifi was the fastest chatting with the staff and unwinding.

Initially I was in a room close to the road and it was somewhat noisy, but the hosts kindly changed and everything was fine after that. Thanks Jack for being so kind!!

This property is a great location and accurate to all reviews. It is secure, an easy walk to the UN complex, shopping and has a lovely outdoor garden, eating area and pool. The avocados grown on the property are magnificent. Jack is an amazing host and will do anything to ensure you enjoy the stay. The owners are also upgrading the wifi and other aspects.

Sadly the property is neglected and therefore poorly maintained. The compound and grass need a good TLC . Exposed live electricity wires pose as a Health and Safety Hazard. Imagine if there were little kids playing around the property!! Also the pillows need to be washed and dressed in pillow protectors. Window handles were broken in my room. Also invest in a dish washer to enhance hygienic cleaning of dishes and cutlery etc.

Great location, great property,

Location, breakfast, kind and helpful staff (Yvon) Quite area, secured and near to the village market.

Stayed in July 2023

Nothing in particular

It’s conveniently located in Gigiri a stone throw away from IOM health screening center and the few minutes walk to village market among other amenities. The neighborhood is quiet and lush as well. The property has a home feeling with spacious self contained rooms and a sizeable compound dotted with trees.

Stayed in July 2023

Is not close to the center, so it really depends of what are your needs. Ok to rest, but not the right choice if you want to meet other people.

The most positive point is without a doubt the kindness and availability of the people, making you feel very welcome and taken care. The breakfast is good and freshly prepared according to your wishes from a menu. In general is a good place to stay specially if you plan to do things around Gigiri area, having a good price/quality relation.

I'm very satisfied staying here. Jack, our hotel manager deserves the recognition for providing great service for his customer. I'm happy to come back here again, and recommend this place to my friends and colleagues.

Last night my room toilet was leaking... the staff must advise you in advance that swimming pool not operative...

The staff is perfect. The manager Joan was very kind and made your feeling very well and happy, offering taking your pictures in the hotel for your relatives. Good breakfast in the morning, you can enjoy your meal on the ground floor terrace, however the swimming pool was not working.

From the road it looks a bit scary, but don't let that turn you away!

Our suite (Mombassa) was extremely spacious. The breakfasts were excellent. We had one dinner at Dreamplace but although they advertise the possibility of lunches and dinners they really are not so happy to provide them. There is an upscale mall a few minutes walk away with lots of dining options, and they recommend using this instead - we agree.

The bed was a bit too small for me.

Breakfast was good. Would love a bit more variety.

The room was a bit cold but I received an extra blanket when I reported it. 👌🏾

The property has the most friendly and welcoming staff. Mr. Jack and everyone else went out of their way to make my stay hospitable. It felt Luke home away from home. Certainly my home for all my UN trips. It’s in a walking distance, close to the village market and the security is excellent!

Stayed in June 2022

Nothing really.

Very quiet part of Gigiri, walking distance and easily accessible to both the Village Market and the UN HQ. What a wonderful host - Jack, your personalised service and making everyone welcome is a rare trait..keep it up. The breakfast was nice and they even provided my favourite fruits.

My room was at the front of the property near the road. The local traffic started pretty early, so there was some noise. Next time, I will reserve earlier and ask for one of the lovely suites located farther back on their beautifully landscaped grounds.

Jack and his team were responsive to every request. They went beyond to be sure I had a pleasant comfortable stay. I would highly recommend Dreamplace to any traveler looking for comfort and value in a casual setting. It is a little oasis in the vicinity of the UN campus.
