AIR CONDITIONING! Very clean, modern rooms, hot water, good common area, nice fresh breakfast, great friendly staff and great location. Go to Club Afrikando restaurant near by! Best restaurant I've been to in my 2 months in East Africa. Brisket short ribs were 10/10. Seriously incredible spot and only 3 minute walk away.

Excellent location for a good price. The room was clean and well-provided. The bed is really comfortable. The staff was very nice. He helped me how to reach the airport by bus rather by taxi.

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.
