Book it! you'll feel like you've found a second home, thanks to Sylvia's incredible hospitality...

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at East of Eden Guest House, it was absolutely fantastic. The room was perfect, with fresh eggs every day and so many thoughtful little extras that made it feel so very special. Honestly, I was sceptical about all those stunning reviews at first, but trust me, you won't be disappointed one bit. This was my first trip to Africa, and now it's my home away from home. Sylvia and the staff were wonderful, what a star of a host. I never dreamed anyone could be so kind and thoughtful. She took me to the Giraffe Centre and the museum, but the absolute standout day was when we headed out to her avocado farm in the countryside. My fondest memory is sitting under an avocado tree, eating the most delicious mango I've ever had in my entire life. If you're looking for a warm, genuine stay in Nairobi with incredible hospitality and those extra touches that make all the difference, East of Eden is the place. Sylvia turns it into something truly unforgettable.

Best in Africa

Crean room. Good staff. There is a frige, kitchen. There are small shops and local restaurants around. I have stayed in over 20 hotels in Africa and this is by far the best.

The extreme readiness of staff to help and meet my needs; from the moment I'd arrived to the moment I left. Steve, the staff member tasked with my room, had made sure all of my needs were met with extreme readiness and promptness, whether it was supplies, taxi bookings, phone arrangements, or shopping, everything really. The owner, Mrs. Sylvia, followed up incessantly and even out in some face time to see if I'm comfortable and whether I needed extra help to make my stay more satisfactory, which I didn't and told her there's literally nothing more they could do. She was exceedingly pleasant and hospitable.

A very nice vacation to relax.

The hostess went out of her way to organize everything I wanted for my vacation. That helped me a lot because it was my first time visiting Kenya. The accommodation is very quiet and the garden is very nice, very good for relaxing.

Excellent place!

Sylvia is the best host ever! She was so helpful and kind, she went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. She helped us to get a nice taxi driver, very reliable and safe. The place is very clean, they clean the room daily; and you have soft drinks, water, snacks and eggs that you can cook for breakfast. The location is in a good place, very relax and far from the noise, but also close from Shopping, restaurants, etc. The room has a nice smart tv, fridge, comfy bed, hot shower, and the kitchen has everything you need for cooking. Also, Steve is very kind and nice person, making sure we enjoy our stay. I highly recommend this place, we will definitely come back. Thank you Sylvia!
