Nairobi offers a variety of places where one can stay many people find it extremely difficult to locate these places especially when they have budgetary constraints. I always believe that a vacation need not dent your wallet or put a hole through it so i thought i would come up with some ideas.
Cheap options mainly for students and back packers. The first is the YMCA there are about four hostels one in Nairobi South c area two near the Nairobi University hostels and the third in Eastlands this one is a no go to a new-comer to Nairobi. The other two are okay one could find the basics such as toilet, dinning room and single or shared rooms due to their low rate about 15$ per night a few of the facilities are run down.
Moderately affordable optionsThese are other guest houses also with the central business district and outskirts. for example the PCEA guest house in South c, The Claredon guest house off Ngong road their prices range, tangaza hostels in Karen good for students their prices range from 15$ a night to about 35$.
Home Stays this is another option. one would stay with a family that has an extra bedroom or guest room usually charge between 20$ to 40$ depending on the services included in the package.
Moderately High This include the Boulevard hotel, Fairview hotel, landmark with rates of about 100$ to 150$ per day. Boulevard is the best choice at this level. Also prices may change during off season going down slightly.
Finally always talk to your agent and specify your budget. Hotels usually offer them discounts and you are bound to get a lower rate from your agent than the hotel especially if it is one of the more luxury kind
