Having read reviews on Mennonite Guesthouse we were slightly dubious about our four night upcoming booking with them, but from the moment we arrived, we noticed that the managers comments on tripadvisor about the improvements and changes he was going to make to the guesthouse were either complete or underway. At times the place feels a bit boarding school like... More

If you understand guest houses in Kenya then you understand that this not luxury. The property has kept up garden and grounds and all basic amenities. The service is good given a guest house. Our room had a bathroom in it and a balcony that overlooks the property. The basketball/tennis court was run down and I would not expect it... More

Beautiful hotel and safe location. Very clean and modern. Basketball court and yard with lots of space making it great for families. Meals served for a small price making it convenient for those passing through. The only complaint I had was that they weren't accommodating for late check outs or early check ins.

We booked a vacation stay here, then had to change the dates 3 weeks ahead of time. We received email confirmation, but when we arrived we found they had not booked us in and all the self-contained (with bathroom) rooms were taken. They were very apologetic and found us a room at a convent nearby. Still, I wish I had... More

Stayed here for a few nights in July 2012. Good points - close to Nairobi Centre, fairly safe and prices ok (though have been hiked recently). Free computer use. Negative Points - if you want breakfast you must get up at 7.30 - this proves to be no problem as one of the staff walks around the whole complex with... More

We have very mixed experiences. The room we ended up with was well appointed, secure and clean. Ask for a private room by the tennis court, ours was room 20. Staying in this room we had a great experience and were happy with everything including the breakfast and morning coffee break. However, the first night we arrived our private room... More

This is a very great place to stay in Nairobi. So easy going with a feeling of home. I am a single female traveller and felt very safe and well taken care of. They will arrange airport/city transportation for you from a VERY trustworthy company - ask for Gabrielle LOL - he was my favourite! They also had really good... More

There are a wide variety of rooms, and it's often difficult to get the room you want for various reasons, but this place is a wonderfully quiet and relaxing. Three good meals are served each day in very "homey" style. Despite being a significant distance from the airport, this is my place to stay when visiting or traveling through Nairobi.

We have stayed at the Mennonite Guesthouse several times over the last 14 years, and can wholeheartedly recommend it. It is an island of peace amid the hussling city with its frantic traffic, set in a superb garden. The rooms are basic but clean and comfortable. The meals are simple but good, and the staff are friendly.
