This is a great hostel maybe even the best in Nairobi (I have only been in two tho). It is clean, new and not crowded. I was working online during the day and I was completely alone and could enjoy the silence. There is breakfast included and there is a nice cafe where they have vegan milk nearby. Plus there is a big supermarket also close. Fred is very helpful with stuff like make a call or give information. All in all I’ve extended my trip and spent 4 days here , met great people and had time to rest.

Jabulani reminded me of the reason why we all travel; even with the focus of staying to explore and experience new places, for me it's about calling a place home. Making new friends that bonds for a lifetime. And Jabulani is the perfect place to do that. I think Susan, and her kind heart makes this much more comfortable for every traveller in Jabulani. Would always come back to NAIROBI to stay here.

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.
