Lonely Planet review
A well looked-after budget option, Nairobi's Hostelling International (HI) branch is still usually a good place to meet other travellers. A year's HI membership costs 400, or you can pay a 100 surcharge per day. Many people have been robbed returning to the youth hostel by foot after dark; always take a matatu or taxi at night.
