Where does one begin? Lost passports plus money not to mention our dignity. We were harrassed, cajoled, berated and humiliated during our one night stay in Upperhills. "Last man standing" is an utter farce as we were denied access to a friendly tipple or two at a reasonable hour. We were confronted with numerous intruders in the middle of the... More

We both loved it here. The cabins are really cozy and the food/bar is the perfect place to relax! It has a really great atmosphere and the owners are really friendly. The staff are also lovely!

We got a taxi to Upperhill after flying into Nairobi, and spent a reasonable first night there - the bunkbeds in the bandas not particularly comfortable but tolerable, and no pressure for the hot water in the morning. Unfortunately the following day we made the mistake of going out into Nairobi for the day and the evening, leaving our banda... More

Cannot recommend this place highly enough; we travelled from Kampala through Kenya and Tanzania to Zanzibar then back up through Tanzania and Upper Hill was the best place we stayed. Slightly outside of the centre, but we found this to be positive as it was like an oasis in a town and quiet too. Once we discovered how cheap the... More

Went here after a stint of volunteering, it was great! Can book safaris, airport transfers, trips, whatever you want really. All staff are really friendly. Lots of travellers passing through so loads of company. Shared a dorm with a lot of other people on the first night which was a bit of a mare because they were just on a... More

A nice sitting/ eating area and good facilities for drying clothes with a nice outdoor sitting area as well. The main downside is that is a long way from anywhere and our room opened onto the communal living/reception area. This meant we were woken very early (5am) every morning by the TV turned on, and a very loud American voice.... More

If anyone is traveling to and/or through Kenya/Nairobi, I highly recommend staying at the Upperhill Campsite. I just came back from a 2 week Africa journey and had the pleasure of stumbling across the Upperhill Campsite in Nairobi. I am not sure how exactly I found out about it as I had full intentions of staying at a different location... More

After spending 2 of 3 nights at B&B's, I decided to try something new. Upper Hill Campsite is in a great location, close to shopping and offering a quiet place to stay in the heart of the city. I opted for a small 2 man tent (which came with clean mattress and fresh linens), which for the price of 600Ksh/night,... More

We stayed at the upperhill campsite on our several stopovers in Nairobi whilst travelling around the country this Summer. The place is hustling and bustling with travellers so if you are travelling on your own theres great possibility to make friends. Good points - The food was cheap; there were plentiful showers although they were definatley cold despite the signs... More
