ZZZ is a hidden gem! My daughter and I loved the warm reception we received, even though we checked in late at 11pm. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The bedding was of excellent quality, clean, comfortable, and velvet soft. The service was attentive and genuinely caring, always taking time to listen to our needs. The Chinese cuisine was top-notch, fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Every part of our stay reflected true value for money. A heartfelt thank you to the ZZZ Hostel and Hotel team for such professionalism and warmth. We will definitely return. I highly recommend it to everyone!!

Amazing hostel! As a solo female traveller in Nairobi for the first time I was a bit anxious. Mad Vervet was incredible, staff were super knowledgeable and friendly, the other guests were great. I arrived at 4am thanks to transport delays but was still made very welcome (I'm so sorry, thank you so much!) I was a bit worried it might have a party atmosphere as I'm a quiet and chilled person but it was great, nice and relaxing, very peaceful. The location felt really safe and I can't wait to go back!
