A nice place to stay in Nairobi/Gigiri.
Pros:

This is a very good guest house, and it is close to the Village Mall (within safe walking distance). It is close to some UN agencies and Embassies in a beautiful and safe area. The guest house is comfortable and well organized, with very polite staff always ready to help you. The breakfasts and meals are tasty, and the bed/room was comfortable. I enjoyed my stay and recommend this place.

Cons:

On a few occasions, there was a bit of noise from a technical area near my room, but nothing major.

Pros:

All good and almost perfect !

Cons:

It took me like 15min standing there at the reception waiting to be registered. No way to pay with card, had to pay with mobile money. In such an international location, this should be adressed.

Pros:

The hotel staff were among the best I have encountered during my travels. They were friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The overall atmosphere of the hotel makes you feel relaxed and comfortable. The green areas are beautiful, and the location of the restaurant is particularly nice. The room was also very good and had everything I needed, including a safe, an iron, and a kettle.

Cons:

Nothing serious. There was just an issue with the hot water during the first two days, but it was resolved afterward.

Pros:

The staff were wonderful, kind, welcoming, attentive and always ready to help. As a solo traveller, I felt very safe and well looked after throughout my stay.

Cons:

The only inconvenience was that the taxi I had requested was not waiting when my flight arrived at 2 a.m. It was an unpleasant start, although the situation was later handled well.
