Good value hotel with friendly and helpful staff
Kima hotel is a good value for money hotel. It's not in a fantastic area, off the beaten track in a busy area, but once inside the hotel it's quiet and peaceful. The food is good, breakfast is good and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Don't come here expecting the Ritz, but for the price it is better than expected.

OK for a day or two.
Decent value; 15--20 minute walk to town. Recommend taking photo of nearby petrol station to help motorcycle taxi for return trip. Acceptable basic breakfast included. Hotel is upstairs part of a home; little English spoken

Cheap room, nice people, not comfortable
Cheap room, but there was so much noise I wasn't able to sleep past 5am. You hear everything--everything--from the hallways and other rooms nearby. Also be advised this is a dodgy part of town. Stay alert, take taxis if unsure.

Like other reviewers have stated, it's worth mentioning that the rooms aren't very soundproof. But the breakfast is tasty and the staff is very kind and attentive. For the price, this is a great deal!

It's a new hotel and they're still working out the kinks. Overall, a nice value -- it's clean, the WiFI is stable, and staff was accommodating.

お値段なりの狭さ。
ナイロビに近い立地だが、下町の格安感でシャワーからお湯が出ず(チップを渡したボーイによると15分位出し続けると出るが)冷たかった。お正月シーズンの為か蚊が居て眠れなかった。

Buena opción para viajeros de poco presupuesto que busquen un hotel limpio y céntrico. Sería la opción intermedia entre los hoteles de lujo y los albergues para mochileros

Redelijk hotel
Al het personeel is vriendelijk en servicegericht. De kamer+badkamer zijn schoon en netjes. Ik had echter geen warm water, dit werd niet in orde gemaakt na melding. Wifi werkte redelijk. Slechte akoestiek, alle geluid van het resaturant snerpt 's avonds omhoog. Het hotel ligt in het centrum en is door de enorme verkeerspuinhoop in Nairobi moeilijk bereikbaar per auto.
