Allamanda Boutique Hostel features an outdoor swimming pool, garden, a shared lounge and terrace in Galu. Featuring a bar, the hostel is close to several noted attractions, around 700 metres from Diani Beach and around 1.3 km from Colobus Conservation. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen and free WiFi.

At the hostel, each room has a wardrobe. At Allamanda Boutique Hostel, each room is fitted with air conditioning and a safety deposit box. I loved everything about this place – the beautiful setup, peaceful natural surroundings, friendly staff, and great breakfast. It’s the best value for money I found (I even extended my stay for 3 weeks!). I stayed in both the female dorm and a standard bedroom and loved both – very comfortable, beautifully decorated and clean. The property is big enough to have your own space but still has a nice social vibe with a bar and games room. It’s perfect if you enjoy peace and quiet but still want to meet a mature, like-minded crowd (not a party place). The Wi-Fi is excellent for remote work and they have backup power during outages, which was a lifesaver. Honestly, it felt like a home away from home. Highly recommend!

Situated in Diani Beach, Hera Hostel Diani has an outdoor swimming pool, garden, shared lounge, and free WiFi throughout the property. The property is located 1.4 km from Diani Beach, 1.3 km from Leisure Lodge Golf Club and 9 km from Colobus Conservation. The accommodation features a shared kitchen, a tour desk and luggage storage for guests. The place is super cozy, the garden with the pool is fantastic for relaxing afternoons. The breakfast is lovely and our hosts were very welcoming. It’s a bit of a walk (about 15 min) to the beach but nothing undoable.

At the hostel, all rooms come with a desk. Rooms are fitted with a safety deposit box, while certain rooms come with a balcony. At Stilts Diani Beach, rooms come with a seating area.

Bike hire and car hire are available at this hostel and the area is popular for cycling. Great, quiet place in nature setting, but still in the very good place of the town. Two minute walk to the beach, two minute drive to the nearest market. Very good menu to choose from at the bar, with decent prices. Bush baby feeding and karaoke nights are a great experience. Everyone from the staff is helpful and can help with organizing trips for better prices than in other places in the town. Special thanks to Emanuel and boss lady, who put up with our ideas and the cooks for trying to make enough chapati for us and even coming earlier to work to prepare food before our early morning trips. We all want to be like Emanuel when we grow up :)
