The Karen Camp — Hotel in Nairobi

Better value than other places. It's not great camping but it works. There's a good hot shower in the building that you can use as the outside one is either non functioning or just cold (we never tried it) water is potable they said.

All of the staff were friendly and...

During my one month travel period in Kenya, I stayed in Karen camp for three times. The owners and the staff are very friendly and ready to help with anything. The thing I really appreciated was that - if they are not fully booked, they try to accommodate solo travelers in separate dorms (although it would be easier for them to pack everybody in one room), so everybody gets more private space. The bar area and garden were super nice to have a meal, a beer and meet people. It is safe, clean and relaxed. It is not in the center of Nairobi, but for my case i was not...
