Very clean place and great location in the Gigiri area close to thd UN and the US embassy. ##### yacob Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charlotte Jun 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very pleasant place! Very friendly staff, very clean and comfortable guest house, beautiful garden and pool. ##### Charlotte Stayed 9 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fernando Dec 23, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The house was quiet and clean and the staff easy going and friendly. Four of my five breakfasts I ate alone, but on the last morning I had the fascinating company of a Sudanese guest who attended a meeting at the UN compound. The location was perfect for me, as it was 8 minutes walking from a CrossFit gym where I could train early in the morning - same place where one can buy handcraft and eat or drink throughout the day, and 15 minutes walking from the UN compound, where I was attending a workshop. On the last day I could check out in the morning before going to my meeting, and leave my bag in the reception until I could pick it up in the afternoon, which was convenient. ##### Fernando Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nathaniel Aug 20, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great staff. Very helpful and kind. Great breakfast. Had reliable hot water. Comfortable beds. Drawbacks: hard towels and no space heaters in cold season. ##### Nathaniel Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Andreas Jul 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### A good experience Helpful staff, a quiet location, and a more homely feeling than what one often gets. I will be happy to stay again. ##### Andreas Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### SIRE Apr 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Poor internet connection and Orchid is not providing transport to its guests ##### SIRE Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Shaheer Oct 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort Very friendly and accommodating staff. ##### Shaheer Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Taylor Oct 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Feels Like Home! Returning to Orchid Homes felt like returning home! A simple but lovely guest house, location is ideal for access to the UN Compound, and an easy walk to Craft Centre or Village Market. Wifi works well, staff is friendly, rooms are clean. ##### Taylor Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Frederick Apr 7, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff were helpful and very courteous. ##### Frederick Stayed 1 night in Apr 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Travis Jan 6, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Very quiet A nice old mansion, very quiet. The pool was too cold to swim in. ##### Travis Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Aug 22, 2021 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities My wife and I are seniors. They gave us a room in the attic. Two flights of stairs with no lift and no help. The room had no internet and we did not want to go down again to complain. There is no phone in the room. It was freezing and no heating. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2021 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Jul 18, 2021 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Appalling room in charming villa Turning a villa into a hotel makes every room unique--but our room (Sage, on the ground floor) was appalling. Just in front of the reception, the restaurant and the hotel entrance door, the room's door has no noise insulation, making every conversation between the hotel personnel and guests sound like inside the room. When guests start making breakfast and checking out at 6am in the morning, it's impossible to sleep. The cherry on the cake? The room's door has a glass that cannot be shaded or covered, making it possible for people on the stairway in from of the room to look directly into the room (over the bed!). More: lapidated bathroom with a tiny sink and no mirror--the sliding door had no handle on the inside making it impossible to close. Mattress very uncomfortable. No hotel sign from the road whatsoever, not even on the doorbell, the guard on duty was not present when we come and we had to call the property to be sure to be at the right address. I truly hope that the other rooms are better (the villa is really nice) but a normal hotel cannot have guests play Russian roulette on room selection! ![Tiny sink in a corner, with no mirror](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8F4F475FDC3CB3E68517376A9BE43DF3CF1B698E1626645547347.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![No handle on bathroom's door](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/F70C915CF1BF6276466BC31B33B032D550C58F551626645546578.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![No handle on bathroom's door](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/FC8F0350EED8095E65B462AE5A52F5ABB0FFC2141626645544750.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Bathroom's door from the outside](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/BF7A547EAE9530608190FCB5A624C57BC8209EC11626645547448.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jul 17, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Everything was fine only the tv had no signal. It had all the apps but i guess it was just the weather condition because it happens. But i was there for business so it was good and quiet ##### Verified traveller Stayed 11 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jun 21, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great place to stay I enjoyed my vacation. I will recommend my friends ##### Verified traveller Stayed 16 nights in Jun 2021 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller May 18, 2021 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Orchid has room to improve! Hosts phone etiquette quite unreceptive...felt like it was an interruption...! I stayed at a another location opposite the sites location address...not what i had seen on the site. At check out, she insisted i had not made a payment. She was clueless, and after a hectic 20 min or so...she confirmed the payment had hit her account. WIFI unavailable, TV buffered all the while, couldn't work. Water heater is disfunctional...a very unpleasant experience. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in May 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Victor May 2, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### excellent wunderbar ##### Victor Stayed 1 night in Apr 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Feb 14, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service The place was clean but not very private. The receptionist on site kept knocking at the door and intruding. Otherwise, it's a cute little place. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Feb 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jan 27, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities All of the staff were amazing and so helpful to our family! Would highly recommend staying here if traveling with kids. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Angeline, Vienna Feb 27, 2020 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wonderful place to stay in Nairobi. Very nice ladies working in the house. Breakfast is okay, eggs or pancakes made on demand. Shower has very little power so that was a bit frustrating. The particular house where we stayed was a bit worn. Bed was good but matrass a bit worn. The pool in the garden looked nice but is rather small and the filter stopped working so it got greener by the day.... We got what we paid for! Would consider staying here again for sure but hope they fix a few things to make the stay even more pleasant. Laundry is washed without asking, we were then (to our surprise) charged for this when checking out. Which was a very small amount, but still, would have been good to ask/inform guests.... all in all we were very happy and felt very much at home! ##### Angeline Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Jan 26, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Small room (Sage) with dilapidated bathroom. Beautiful main hall and living roon. Nice pool area out back, too bad it's weedy. Nice breakfast room and service. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jan 24, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Maggie is super friendly.

Agnes and Maggie were stellar! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Natalie, Bangui Dec 7, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This property feels like home, not like a hotel. The rooms are very clean, and the staff extremely friendly - in addition to being wonderful cooks!. The property is very well located in Gigiri - walking distance to UN and shops. This is my second stay. I come regularly to Nairobi and have tried many hotels/B&B/homes around Gigiri. This is my best find and I will stick to it in the future. There is nothing that I disliked about the property. ##### Natalie Stayed 6 nights in Nov 2019 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Jun 9, 2019 Disliked: Staff & service Due to flight delays I was only able to stay one night instead of the two nights I originally booked. I called the hotel and told them this as soon as I was aware I couldn’t get there for my original check in date. I was told “no problem we will cancel your first night”. They have charged me for two nights even though I was only there one. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Park Inn by Radisson Nairobi Westlands](https://www.expedia.ca/Nairobi-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Nairobi-Westlands.h17924777.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Berlin Alexanderplatz](https://www.expedia.ca/Berlin-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Berlin-Alexanderplatz.h5670.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Trevi Fountain](https://www.expedia.ca/Trevi-Fountain-Hotels.0-l6341167-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Tamarind Tree Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Nairobi-Hotels-Tamarind-Tree-Hotel.h20610178.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Nairobi Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Nairobi-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Nairobi-Airport.h17595186.Hotel-Information) > > [SplashWorld Venus Beach All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Hammamet-Hotels-SplashWorld-Venus-Beach-All-Inclusive.h13056275.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Seattle Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Seattle-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Seattle-Airport.h1833.Hotel-Information) > > [Nairobi Serena Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Nairobi-Hotels-Nairobi-Serena-Hotel.h9864.Hotel-Information) > > [Sankara Nairobi, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Nairobi-Hotels-Sankara-Nairobi.h6470535.Hotel-Information) > > [The Boma Nairobi](https://www.expedia.ca/Nairobi-Hotels-The-Boma-Nairobi.h5366015.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westbourne Hyde Park](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Westbourne-Hyde-Park.h20515.Hotel-Information) > > [Finest Playa Mujeres by The Excellence Collection - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Sam-Hotels-Finest-Playa-Mujeres-By-The-Excellence-Collection-All-Inclusive.h8673168.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Midtown Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Midtown-Toronto-Toronto-Hotels.0-n553248635976400976-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hyatt Place Calgary Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Calgary-Airport.h32503873.Hotel-Information) > > [Cairo Marriott Hotel & Omar Khayyam Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Cairo-Hotels-Cairo-Marriott-Hotel-Omar-Khayyam-Casino.h6661.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Vancouver Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-Hilton-Vancouver-Downtown.h127122.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Mont-Tremblant](https://www.expedia.ca/Mont-Tremblant-Hotels.d55374.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Nashville (BNA) to Memphis (MEM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bna/mem/nashville-to-memphis) > > [Flights from Charlottetown (YYG) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyg/yyz/charlottetown-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Delhi (DEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/del/toronto-to-delhi) > > [flights from watertown intl airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/art/flights-from-watertown-intl-airport) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to New York (JFK)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/jfk/calgary-to-new-york) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Berlin (BER)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ber/toronto-to-berlin) ### Packages > [Punta Cana](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/601906/Punta-Cana) > > [Cabo San Lucas](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/180032/Cabo-San-Lucas) > > [Vancouver Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver.d178315.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General > [Visit Alberta](https://www.expedia.ca/Alberta.dx11111) > > [Visit Canada](https://www.expedia.ca/Canada.dx31) > > [Visit Chinatown](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Chinatown.dx6005294)
