About

Unpretentious budget hotel featuring a bar & a restaurant, along with Wi-Fi & breakfast.

It's KES 1,200 a night, 200 meters from the bus station, and the bed's comfortable enough for a transit sleep. But it's in a rough part of CBD, the rooms are tiny, and there's no food on-site—get back before dark.

    Didn't like it at all. It's in the middle of a busy Nairobi street. Also unfortunately, there is weird sexual services approaches from ladies....!! My friend wasn't amused. This happens just as you're climbing the stairs. Not for foreigners or if you treasure peace of mind. The rooms are just ok for a local night sleep

    Nairobi CBD 👈 Close to Goethe Institut 👈 Friendly staff 👍 The Hotel Inks is certainly not the "Ritz". The rooms are rather small. The wifi also leaves something to be desired. But the rooms were clean every time I stayed there. And the price-performance ratio is really very good. The staff is friendly and always helpful and worth a good tip.

    Location is perfect, I arrived from Mombasa and just walk 200 meters to get to the hotel, Single room have not much space but the bed is comfortable and clean bedsheets and the blanket, for the price 1200 per night is quite ok, I checked in very early morning before 6 am, check out next day before 10 am,

    POSITIVE: Secure, minimal disturbance, fair priced and clean . CRITICAL: 1. No meals offered within the facility 2. You may be sent to go and withdraw cash to pay your bills, so carry some with you

    The staff is warm and welcoming. The room itself is a bit small but generally clean. The bathroom is small and cramped. The hotel is located in a rather dangerous part of the city, especially at night. Get back to the hotel before it gets dark, especially if you look foreign.
