I recently stayed at The Library Hostel for six nights, and it was an incredible experience. Everything was exactly as described, and the management team—Fred, Risper, and Paul—were exceptionally nice, welcoming, and professional. The hostel is impeccably clean and wonderfully calm, providing the perfect environment for rest and relaxation. One of the highlights of my stay was the opportunity to meet new and interesting people every day. The atmosphere at The Library Hostel fosters great interactions and connections among guests. I would definitely return to this hostel and highly recommend it to others. Thank you, The Library Hostel, for an unforgettable stay!

Jabulani is everything you can expect from a hostel in Nairobi. The vibe is so good. Beds are comfortable, whole property is kept well cleaned. Breakfast is average. Staff are nice and friendly. It was better than my expectations. I loved my stay there and will stay again when in Nairobi.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
