Note: These prices are as of 1998, so expect to pay more in 2001, especialy since the shilling dropped dramaticaly in 1999. Nairobi hotels include modern luxury hotels and business hotels. Many of the main hotels of Nairobi are in the central area but there are also other lodgings and hotels in the Nairobi suburbs.

The New Kenya Lodge on the corner of River Road and Latema offers accommodation for KSh 200 per person. Both places are clean and comfortable, but expect hot water only in the morning, and they are known to be quite noisy at all times of the day and night. Bring your own toilet paper!

Terminal

Edit This
The Terminal Hotel is in the center, you may be able to see the sign just under the roof. The people who frequent the Terminal at night are especially amiable, and it is a fine place to catch a football game.

Iqbal

Edit This

If a cheap hotel is what you’re looking for, I recommend the Iqbal. The Iqbal (#220914) on Latema Road offers dorm beds for Ksh 210. There are rooms with any number of beds, so your group can take up one whole room. chris: it's a friendly establishment and very good if you're in alarge group as you can normally just turn up and claim a whole room for your group! Be warned though, the owners don't tend to like it if you consume alcohol inside the hotel as they are muslim. Also it is of note that this hotel is favoured by gap year students who more..
