An ideal position giving very good value.

If you're expecting 5 star, you will be disappointed, but this is very good value for money. My room was clean, the staff were very helpful and friendly. Although being next to a busy intersection, they had double glazed the windows so I was not disturbed by noise. It's proximity to Wilson Airport was the main reason I chose here, thus avoiding heavy traffic and high taxi charges. I thoroughly recommend this place. I have had cheap and nasty.... This place was cheap and very cheerful, and am sure I will be using again in the future.

Close to Wilson Airport

This hotel is close to Wilson airport (domestic flights). The staff was friendly, but the hotel was not much. I dont recommend the restaurant there either. Wish I could give it a better rating. . .

Very handy overnight stay near Nairobi airport

Easy access from airport after a daylight flight from Europe. We got a good night's sleep on a superbly comfortable bed (room 209) and were able to leave at noon on the following day. Will most likely stay at MvuliHouse again.

Qwik Overnight Stay

I arrived at 11:30PM and left at 7AM the next morning. All I needed was a shower, bed and breakfast. The B&B provided the shower and bed but not the breakfast. All they offered was cold cereal and toast without butter and jam. They did have coffee and juice.

Good for one night in Nairobi

We needed a room for one night in Nairobi that was somewhat near the airport and tried the Mvuli Hotel in an effort to avoid the horrible traffic in Nairobi. It was an ok place that served it's purpose. It had a 24 hour guard and the restaurant was good and I would recommend eating there rather than venturing out in the neighborhood. The rooms were small and clean but the bathroom ceiling needed to be painted as it was grungy. Not sure if there is AC, and it is noisy with the window open so find out about that. We were there in winter. We slept well and the service people were all very friendly. We felt safe there.The neighborhood is not great, but is fine to arrive and depart by taxi. It took us 20 minutes to get there from the airport. The drive to the CBD is stopped traffic most of the way and the pollution is very bad. The Mvuli is not a bad option for a short term stay.

Good choice for overnight stay

I've stayed here twice now, both times just stopping overnight in Nairobi, and would do again. It's not too far from the airport, and even at $90 per night it's more reasonably priced than many Nairobi hotels. The rooms are small, but comfortable, and there's a nice restaurant with western and African options. I was quite excited to get Weetabix for breakfast. Major drawback was the noise -- bring earplugs or ask for a room away from the road.

Etat délplorable de la salle de bains

Hotel à ne retenir qu'en dernier choix en raison essentiellement de l'état de la salle de bains: murs et plafonds noircis par l'humidité, pas d''aération, pas d'éclairage. Chambre de petite dimmenssion, équipée d'un lit double occupant presque toute la place disponible et d'un confort très moyen. Bruyant en raison de la proximlité de la voie routière à grande circulation. Le point positif est la gentillesse de l'acceuil, et la relative proximité avec l'aéroport pour une nuit de transit, ce qui étati mon cas.Cher pour la quailté.

値段相応

Hotels.comの予約をすぐに確認できず、先に部屋へ通される事態になりました。台湾へ旅行した際もHotels.comを利用して同様の状況になったため、このホテルではなくHotels.comの仕組み自体に問題があるのかも知れませんね。ホテルの設備、受付＆コックの対応、出てくる料理には一切不満はありません。値段相応、良かったと思っています。ただ１点、ポーターに甘い顔をするのは厳禁です。「prize」を何かにつけて要求され、大変気分が悪かったです。

Hotels.com had a wrong deskription at the webside. We booked a Room with seperate kitchen, but this type of Room was not at the hotel at all!! We dont blame the hotel for this - only the booking Company. We had a smal Room isted.

1 nachtje in Mvuli

Wij hebben heerlijk overnacht in het Mvuli house te Nairobi, wel veel herrie op straat dus dat is een minpuntje, heerlijke douche en leuke kamer.....voor de rest geen aanmerkingen, gewoon aanrader om een nachtje te slapen na een lange vliegreis......

Very noisy

Extremely noisy hotel, requested quite room as we had to leave at 4am but got roadside room that was unbearably noisy. Staff were friendly and insisted we had coffee and some fruit for breakfast even though it was 4am. Rates were quite high for the quality of the hotel.

I have stayed at Mvuli 5 times - 3 out of the 5 times the staff did not have confirmation of my stay and payment. This is frustrating especially with the night staff wanting me to pay for the room.

Review of mvuli house B&B

This was my 5th stay at Mvuli - It was good every time, but on three occasions there was some confusion regarding the payment. And they wanted me to pay, which i refused as Ive already paid to hotels .com. One recommendation would be that the rooms should either have air conditioning or mosquito nets supplied. Because one cannot open the windows and it becomes very hot and stuffy, no fans!!!

Bacterium Paradise and microbes National park !

If you are able to feel disgust don't even try to stay at Mvuli. Otherwise you have to sleep on their bed in clothes and in hat, putting your head on your bag. It is also better to avoid entering bathroom. The stuff is quite friendly, but you won't be able to feel it.

highly recommendable middle-range business class

The staff are well-trained, very professional and very helpful. Even with a bit of distance from city centre, taxis were always there. A huge supermarket is nearby. It is highly recommendable as a middle-rage business hotel.

Niet te duur, maar ook niet comfortabel

Dit hotel ligt vlakbij het Wilson airport. Is best netjes (wel schimmel in de badkamer), en heeft een goede service. De tweepersoonsbedden zijn echter klein wat ervoor zorgt dat het minder comfortabel is. Ik raad dit hotel dan ook alleen aan voor 1 overnachting bij b.v. doorreis.

Road noise prevented having windows open and no air conditioning and old tobacco smell in rooms made room air poor for two persons. Good showers. Modest breakfast offering.
