Laibon Hotel

I'd happily recommend this place to someone.

Really enjoyed spending time at this place.

It’s peaceful here, away from Nairobi’s city noise, and a good place to stay. My one issue is that there’s just one TV channel, controlled centrally. Please add at least a local news channel that guests can choose for themselves.

I liked the bar, and the restaurant staff too. The location isn’t the best, though it’s near both the airport and the city. The woman in white in the photo came knocking at my door around 1:30 a.m. and demanded extra payment because I had a guest in the room. I’d been drinking with my girl in the bar all night and had only just gone upstairs. She said she didn’t care what the receptionist had agreed with me and insisted I pay another $10. I paid, then went to complain to the manager, saying he could check the CCTV because I had deliberately stood in front of the camera. He was worse than she was, with no respect for clients, shouting and showing fingers. I didn’t have time to call the police because I had to leave at 4:30. The man in white in the photo was walking away with his back to me. He claimed to be the manager and wouldn’t give me his name, but called himself Josphat. I’d booked a room for two and was offered two choices, $30 and $25. The receptionist, who isn’t in the photo, said the only difference was the facilities inside, so I picked one and even got a pair of slippers. Be careful, you might be charged extra things if you stay there. Don’t be tempted by the low rate, take the highest one, since even my room was dirty and the toilette was broken. I’ll never go there again.
