Milimani Backpackers Reviews

we arrived from airport at 4 am- airport pick up went well. we stayed in the 8 person dorm (by ourselves due to our late arrival) The dorm was dirty, the kind of place where you check the sheets before you lay down and keep your suitcase well zipped. The 'staff' were outside our room and, despite the time, they were very loud and it was difficult to sleep. Door lock didnt work and door didnt close, no working shower, high level of traffic noise. The cabins did look ok in the morning light

Excellent hostel with great staff. Bar/ Restaurant are also great way to meet fellow travellers.

Great place to stay. The hostel is located a bit outside downtown nairobi, but the 20-25 minute walk is pretty nice. Staff were very friendly/helpful. The only negative was that the room I stayed in had VERY thin walls so I kept waking up to the hostel dog parking, or the raging club next door.

Loved the place. Easy to meet people. About 20 min walk away from the town. Rooms were cleaned daily. Food was also good (the fish was amazing) Would stay there again.

This is a really good location for female travellers heading through Nairobi, the security is good and it's fairly easy to get in to town. Book ahead though, the place was packed with a large US tour group when we arrived so I had to sleep in a large tent with about 12 other people, it was cold enough to need a sleeping bag!

Great bar and food. Close to the town centre.

good place to stay before or after safari, but elctricity is off quite often so no light in rooms or warm showers, a lot of mus ic coming from next door which was a bar or something and went on until earlyhrs of morning .

A comfortable haven in Nairobi, for sure

A begging guard really made the good stay ending with a sour stomach.

Great location. Walking distance to the city center yet far enough to be safe. Wonderful restaurant on property.

I loved my time. there. They have a restaurant and bar and it's great to hang out there--after dark you kind of have to. IThey arrange all kinds. of things for you iike safaris and half day trips. It really helped me get comfortable for my first African experience.

I'm not sure that I am happy I had to pay to stay in a small white cell inside a shipping container! I'm just glad I didn't suffer from claustrophobia. The bar/restaurant was dark and dingy looking and I didn't think the kitchen looked very clean. However, the staff were wonderful, very friendly and made me feel at home.

20 min. walk to the center of Nairobi. Locate in a quite place, kind stuff and good atmosphere

Great hostel, excellent staff who were really helpful when i arrived with very few kenyan shillings and asked to pay in british pounds - we got the exchange rate and worked it out which was excellent.

Met on arrival as previously arranged with the Hostel. Staff helpfull in organising things for me in Nairobi. Quite location good meals. Washing a bit expensive US$10. for maximum 10 piece regardless of size. Would recomend to fellow travellers.

Simple but fine!

recommended for everyone, including families
