The breakfast was the highlight of my days there! After day 1 I couldn't be bothered to try any other breakfast. Sumptuous and flavourful. Also the shower. First time I have stayed in a hotel where the shower had more pressure than my shower at home. It was absolutely luxurious. Finally, I stayed in a room with a verandah/balcony so I could wake up in my pyjamas and sip my coffee and read. It was perfec.
I stayed over new years. They have a small staff so they closed the kitchen on the 1st of Jan and did not inform me before the trip. However, they had one staff on site and had organised for my meals for that day so I really cannot complain.

Very nice room, very good service, beautiful garden, quite calm, perfect if you have to work around Nairobi area and need a cozy and calm place to relax after work, the food is very good too, staff is very welcoming, helpful and always attentive and still very professional. I think there is not place like it in this price range. Just a very good overall package for a bed & breakfast. Can highly recommend.
If you stay for a long time (more than a week), the breakfast gets a bit one-sided, there are not many options to choose from, as most of the people only stay for a short time this should rarely be a problem, the breakfast is still very good.

Hob House was charming. The house itself is tastefully decorated with beautiful African art. Our room was very clean. Also the ensuite bathroom which had excellent water pressure and.consistent hot water. There was a balcony off our room. It was shared with the adjacent room but we had it to ourselves and it overlooked the garden. The restaurant had indoor and outdoor seating. Lots of room. The English and Lebanese breakfasts were both delicious as were the Lebanese suppers. The waiters were able to explain the various dishes and the service was excellent. We were able to bring our own wine to the table and there was no corking fee. The gardens were lovely. A number of different brightly coloured trees were in bloom and there were many exotic flowers. Lots of spots to sit and enjoy the garden, observe the various bird and also smoothies, tea and cafe mocha. Luckily there was little humidity, sunny skies and soft breezes. The staff was friendly and helpful. The business manager Sheila promptly responded to emails before our arrival, advised us we could have a better room than the one we had booked, at the same price. And arranged for Charles to pick us up at the airport and to return us to the airport. This was a good idea as it was dark on both occasions and Hob House is on a back road on the western edge of the city and could be difficult for some drivers to find. We were able to leave our large suitcases at HH while we enjoyed a six day safari. When we arrived back on our last day to pick up our luggage and have a final supper before a late night flight Sheila provided us with a ground floor room with a bed and a bathroom with a shower to rest, freshen up and organize ourselves for the trip home. What more can I say. Fantastic experience in every way.
Nothing. Everything was great.

The house itself is so homely and the bed extremely comfortable. The state of the art decorations and extra information even on the placemats are all great. Hearing the kitchen staff in a good mood and speaking casually to each other jokingly or with warmth was appreciatively welcome. Helpful and dedicated staff - Sheila, Francis and Naomie are just some of those special people who help and assist without fail.
The noise from the eating area reaches the bedroom and can sometimes be inconvenient if you are having a meeting or trying to focus on some work. One smelly face towel but the big one was clean and not smelly.

We basically loved everything about Hob House and cannot wait to find an opportunity to go back :) Environment, decoration / equipment and comfort of the House and rooms, Welcoming and professional staff, cuisine, garden, shop... They even helped me to store some items in the fridge and freezer to bring back home the day after. Asante sana!
If we have to mention something : My husband found the bed too soft to his taste (habibi room) and I couldn't get hot water at night (assume it is solar-panel heating).

Great service, delicious food, super comfortable bed. It also had a beautiful garden area with plenty of areas to sit and relax. We traveled with our cat and everyone was so kind towards her and asked about her all the time!
The room was a bit small and the shower was a bit tight but really, not so much a complaint rather than an observation since my partner is tall and we were traveling with our pet so we noticed it more.

The Hob House is an extremely charming B&B. The atmosphere fells as if you were at a beautiful home. There is a lounge, with comfy sofa to watch TV, and books all around. It was very sweet to find complimentary oranges and milk in the room. My room had a varanda where I could sit and relax, looking at the garden. It is shared with the neighbours, so be aware. The garden is a must! A large green space, where you can be served breakfast with birds around. It is just fantastic! The B&B has also a restaurant which is open to the public, where they serve delicious Middle Eastern food.
The only downside of the B&B is if the restaurant downstairs have talkative guests, you'll be able to hear the chat in your room. So if you are a super early sleeper, that can be a bit of an issue. But the restaurant is very small and local. So it won't go too late. So it won't be a problem to your sleep overnight at all. Be aware the B&B is is a calm area on the kind of outskirts of Nairobi. So it is not that you'll leave the b&B walking to see around. You'll need a taxi to go down to town.

I came here the first time for the restaurant now I come back because of the atmosphere, beauty of rooms and garden and amazing service from the staff. I have been here 3+ times and I will be back! Love the spaces with a balcony over the garden.
I love everything about this place

Hob House was charming with beautiful gardens and a nice respite in the busy city.
The restaurant was excellent and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The outdoor patios and gardens are beautiful and feel cozy so it is a pleasure to sit outside.

A home away from home with well-sized rooms and comfy beds. The whole property is beautifully decorated with lots of thoughtful touches. The garden is a lovely and relaxing oasis of flowers and plants, and the on-site Lebanese restaurant was delicious! We also loved the little shop that sells items made by local artists and artisans. Our only regret is that we didn’t have a longer stay!
Nothing - everything was perfect!
