The King Post

If “soft life” had an address, it would be Kings Post Hotel Furnished Apartments — and honestly, I may or may not have Googled “How to move in permanently” after my stay. From the moment I walked in, I felt like I had stepped straight into a Lamu hideaway — warm wooden ceilings, carved Swahili-style furniture, stained-glass windows catching the afternoon light, and lanterns that look like they’ve been imported directly from a coastal spice market. It’s not just a furnished apartment… it’s an aesthetic. The living room felt like the perfect mix of cozy and exotic. The daybeds? So comfortable I almost forgot I was there for a staycation and not a months-long sabbatical. The balcony doors opened to that lovely breezy, coastal feel, and I swear I half-expected someone to bring me madafu (coconut water) while I lounged. Everything inside was thoughtfully set up — a fully equipped kitchen for the chefs, a perfectly made bed for the nap champions, and Wi-Fi strong enough to stream, work, or pretend you’re working while watching Netflix. The service was excellent — friendly, quick, and with just the right amount of “pole pole” charm that makes you slow down and enjoy life. Whether I needed extra towels, directions, or just a smile in the morning, they had it covered. The location is peaceful, the décor is romantic, and the whole space just screams vacation mode. Perfect for a solo escape, a couples’ retreat, or a girls’ weekend where you pretend you’re in Zanzibar without leaving Nairobi. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Recommendation: If you love coastal charm, soft lighting, and a place that makes you forget real life exists — book it. Just be warned… you might not want to leave. 📍 Kings Post Hotel Furnished Apartments – where Nairobi takes a holiday in Lamu.

I stayed at kings post as part of a yoga retreat. Absolutely the worst! Beds were hard, pillows terrible, and the towels were like cardboard! No customer service, had go to reception to get a roll of toilet paper! Actually the leaders of the retreat pulled out of the hotel. We had pre ordered our dinners that took more than an hour to be served.

The wood work, fixtures, interior design is gorgeous & all the luxuries of a 5 star hotel are there. Will come back again.

This place is well worth the money. I’d come back here even if I had a higher budget. I only have two issues. One, there’s no a/c. Not a problem during cool weather, but I can’t imagine this place when it’s hot outside. Two, you can hear everything outside and in upstairs/downstairs rooms easily. Otherwise, this place was perfect.

Such a lovely place, but, in poor shape, especially cleanliness. Staff were excellent.

The King Post along Rhapta Road is like a hidden castle in Nairobi! From accommodation and conferencing to good vibes at The Tavern Bar & Grill and Café Chumba, it’s a one-stop spot. The design has that Swahili coastal charm, making you feel like you’ve traveled without leaving the city. Add in King’s Gym & Spa for fitness, Jabeen’s Salon for a fresh look, and great dining options for dine-in or takeaway — truly a gem. Whether it’s business, leisure, or just unwinding, this place has it all.

They don’t provide drinking water. Being a foreigner i was disappointed and offended. When I arrived at late night they asked me to go out and buy water. No go if you are a luxury visitor.

Dated rooms could use fixing up and better towels but clean and huge. The barber/hair saloon worth it even if your not staying or don't need a haircut -get a shampoo or head massage - amazing
