About

Low-key rooms in an informal hotel featuring an outdoor pool, 2 restaurants & event space.

The budget Nairobi option delivers clean rooms and hot showers at backpacker prices. Location is decent for public transport, and staff are helpful with directions. Don't expect amenities, but it's safe and functional. Best for shoestring travelers who just need a bed.

    The food and the ambience was really great. The challenge was food took really long but maybe it because we did not preoder. Love it. Highly recommend 👌

    Nice environment but for my event, we agreed to have gold and black as the seat covers because that was my theme but I found maroon as the covers which greatly clashed with my deco as I used gold and black balloons. Also improve on the functionality of the backup generator it took long after there was power outage for normalcy to be achieved.

    Loved every bit of our stay at Tobriana. Nice rooms, friendly, warm and attentive staff. Lush outdoor areas, including a swimming pool and a fab garden. Great food. I will be back!

    I am a very positive person that likes to write nice reviews but it's difficult to compliment this hotel. I will say the gardens are nice. The main problem was we barely got any sleep: Very noisy with a nearby bar blasting music coupled with barking dogs all night. The room was very hot, no fan or AC. And they provide you with a heavy quilt and no top sheet. Because there was no moving air, lots of mosquitoes. They had netting but we couldn't completely enclose the bed leaving it worthless. Not very clean. The hotel is dark, the rooms are dark. There are 100's of hotels in Nairobi. This is not one I would recommend.
