Palm Nest is located in a quiet, secure neighborhood close to the airport. The grounds are peaceful and clean. The staff are friendly and helpful. This is a great budget option close to the airport. The guest house provides an excellent shuttle service for a fee. If you are taking an Uber, be sure to type in Palm Nest, rather than just the road address.

Comfortable and affordable

The service is excellent and especially thanks to Christine for driving me around the city. The hotel is a bit hard to find but as a single traveler I felt safe and well taken care of.

This is more like a Air B&B and not an actual hotel. Challenging to accommodate late check ins. Our Driver had to wait outside the gate and call to wake up the owners. Expedia did not explain that this place was not a hotel.

Great manager....rooms are run down...

Typical Nairobi room....everything is run down or worn out. The manager was absolutely great which made the stay bearable. The hygiene standards are low in Kenya and this is why I hate traveling to this country. Go at your own risk....

The staff were nice and very helpful especially the manger Christine. I was disappointed with the cleanliness, the dinning sink was never cleaned the stains I found on my first day were there until I left, the towels in the room were dirt as well as the towel in the dining area. It was never changed. With covid it was a bit scary. I never used them

A nice short stay.

The one night stay was okay. The ladies attending to us were fantastic and helpful. The rooms are spacious and neat. Very nice shower with warm water. Bedding could be improved upon. Location is ideal for airport and very serene but the road to the place is bumpy. The GPS location was off, the place is much nearer the main road (Mombasa Road) and Gateway Mall than shown on the pin. Pick up from airport or drop off can be arranged as well as local drives. Breakfast was okay.
