But a liitle bit far from the center. 10-15 minutes by taxi. You can book directly with them by e-mail.

Natural Oaks Apartments sound a good option of GF budget hotel for mongering in Nairobi.

I am thinking to book it now.

My last consern is how easy to get a taxi around bar areas (such as New Florida) at night.

You know in some cities it is very difficult to find a taxi at night.

Therefore, staying in a hotel nearby the theme becomes a good option.

Can you elaborate a little bit on the taxi issues? Thanks.

There were always taxis waiting at the entrance to Madhouse.

But don't forget to negociate the price!

Going from N. O. A. To the city, just ask the security guy at the gate to call a taxi for you. Usually very nice guys BTW.

Have a chat with them, give them a gift or a small tip: during my stay they were a good source of any information (taxi fares, clubs, food, shopping etc).

They even can arrange for girl (girls) if you don't want to go to the city.

One day I was not in mood to go to the city so I asked the guy at the gate to arrange for girls. No problem at all!

After half an hour 2 girls (students) arrived (OK, one was totally stoned). I took them both, nice threesome.

The advantage of this place is: it's quiet at night and safe.

Nairobi city centre is loud.

However, if you prefer to be in the "middle of action", don't go to the N. O. A.

I was staying at Hilton (expensive as hell and not good at all) and Fairview (very nice but even more expensive than Hilton).

I certainly would book it again. But next time I would insist on having my apartment not at the highest floor: there is no lift which means: endless stairs! And the water prsssure was not that good. But everything else was perfect for me. : clean, nice furnished, full equipped kitchen, swimming pool, privacy, free internet, very nice staff.

I think I will book NOA.

By the way, just as curiosity, are Hilton and Fairview GF hotels in your experience?

Hilton was GF in 2005. However, no chance to avoid "walk of shame" and I had to register one lady.

In my opinion, Hilton is not worth the money. Small rooms, maybe 3 stars, not more.

At Fairview I stayed twice and each time I booked for First Class Single Room. Rate is high (13, 600 KSH) but I was lucky to have the room paid by my company.

The First Class rooms are located in a separate building, located across the street. There is also a separate entrance gate to this building directly from the street.

You don't have to enter the main hotel building, no walk of shame, absolutely nothing! Once you get the key, you can have as many visitors as you want.

OK, there are cameras everywhere but nobody cares.

The rooms are very comfortable, perfect beds and huge bathrooms, good breakfast.

In general, the Fairview Nairobi is a real treasure in Nairobi.

Check the website.

You will find there a youtube movie showing exactly the way from check in to the room.

If you decide to book for Fairview, book the room with the "longer walk from reception" and your full privacy is guaranteed.

Good luck and have fun

[QUOTE=Dzikusek;1175732].In my opinion, Hilton is not worth the money.In general, the Fairview Nairobi is a real treasure in Nairobi.[/QUOTE]Couldn't agree more. If you must go into one of the expensive hotels then forget about Hilton (sub standard) , forget about Stanley (noisy). I agree that many places in the Upper Hill region are very beautiful. Fairview is one of them and the Crowne Plaza is also really nice. However please bear in mind that almost all hotels in Upper Hill are now strictly non-smoking. Most of the ladies are serial smokers and that can become a spoiler too.

5 min walk (or less) from the hilton.

"You don't have to enter the main hotel building, no walk of shame, absolutely nothing! Once you get the key, you can have as many visitors as you want."

By the way, are there any other hotels, for a cheaper price than the fairview ofcourse, that have this type of setup? This is truly a perfect setup.

I once stayed in a hotel where the setup was quite different; there was a main gate to seal off the hotel, a garden in the middle, and the reception was at the back. The rooms were lined at the sides of the garden so if you brought a visitor, you didn't have to pass by reception. It was about 2000 shillings a night. The draw back was that the entrance to the garden was on the opposite side of the reception, so they still have a view of whats going happening. Don't know if they were GF friendly or not.

Greetings all.

I know of private house in Lavington Nairobi that has rooms for rent 1, 000kes per night short term and 10,000 monthly.

Use of kitchen included, owner can provide girls also, please pm for details.

Wild Rover

Hi WR. I am interested in the roons in Lavington. Will be in NBO in Sept.

Can't work out how to PM you for the details. Could you send the details to me privately.

I can not praise the NOA more than I did before: it's not too expensive for Nairobi, it's quite, it's clean, free WiFi, nice staff and a swimming-pool. I had a lot of FS and BBBJ in that little pool house or pool chair, it turns me on somehow. Ok, it's a bit away from the action uptown (Madhouse, Simmers.) but once you have found one or two chicks you will mostly stick to them anyway (well, I do). I always have a great time there, and as mentioned earlier, you can order your ladies to your liking from the guards, they are more than willing to help you out. Give them a little bakschisch, they in turn will take some from the girl also, and you will get them delivered to your room without problems. Ask for a room on the lower floors and the windows not facing the street (the auxiliary power generator is standing that way-lots of noise when power cut).

Is this the full name or an abbreviation? And where and How Much pse!
