Hostels and guesthouses in Kenya

In Kenya, hostels cover more than basic beds: renovated heritage houses, family-run guesthouses, and eco-camps designed for practical comfort and local immersion. In Nairobi, many addresses focus on reliable services for short stays and business trips, while quieter options are common around Mombasa, Nakuru and Kisumu.

A good hostel is defined by consistency: clean rooms, clear rules, and dependable essentials (water, power, Wi‑Fi).

Common services you can expect

  • Shared dorms or private rooms, sometimes with ensuite bathrooms
  • Breakfast options and on-site meals featuring local products
  • Wi‑Fi, air conditioning or fans, and backup power solutions
  • Patios, common areas and staff support for local guidance
  • Transport help: car rental, transfers and excursion planning
  • Discounts for long stays and flexible room configurations

How to choose the right place in Nairobi

Check location and access, room type (shared vs private), bathroom arrangements, and what is included in the nightly rate. For nature-focused stays, eco-farms and community camps around Eldoret and Thika can offer a quieter setting with cultural activities and responsible tourism practices.
