Good to know

Good to Know

  • Most quoted coworking prices in Nairobi exclude Kenya's 16% VAT, so the actual amount charged is typically higher than the headline number — always ask if a quote is VAT-inclusive.
  • Westlands and Upper Hill are Nairobi's priciest coworking zones; Kilimani offers a good quality-to-price balance, and some CBD spaces offer day passes for as little as KES 200-1,000.
  • Almost every space offers a free trial or a discounted first-day pass — it's worth visiting in person before committing to a monthly plan, since Wi-Fi quality, noise levels, and 'vibe' vary a lot between locations even within the same brand.
  • True hotel-embedded coworking is rare in Nairobi — WOJO's Upper Hill space (inside the Mercure/Pullman hotel) is the clearest example; most nomads instead use dedicated coworking brands like Nairobi Garage, Ikigai, or iHub.
  • Regus prices its Nairobi centers directly in USD on its own site rather than in shillings, so day and monthly rates there may fluctuate with the exchange rate more visibly than at locally-priced spaces.
  • There is no physical Soho House in Nairobi — only the global 'Cities Without Houses' membership, which gives access to Houses abroad but nothing to actually walk into locally, so don't expect a private-club workspace under that name in the city.
  • Nairobi's closest equivalent to a work+social+amenities club is Wojo inside the Mercure Hotel in Upper Hill, which bundles coworking with hotel gym, pool, and restaurant access.
  • True coliving (private room + shared coworking + community programming under one roof) is still a young and small category in Nairobi compared to its large stand-alone coworking scene — Westlands is currently the main neighborhood for it.
  • Coliving operators here tend not to publish fixed monthly rates online; expect to email or message directly for a quote based on room type and length of stay.

As part of the Accor hospitality group, members get seamless access to hotel-side amenities including a bar, restaurant, fitness facilities, swimming pool, and ample parking — a genuine hospitality-plus-productivity hybrid rather than a standalone coworking brand.

Membership Clubs and Co-living Hybrids

Clubs and Hybrids

  • Soho House (Cities Without Houses Membership)
    Pricing
    Not applicable locally; membership is a global travel-access product, not a Nairobi venue
    Type
    Membership club
    Neighborhood
    N/A — no physical clubhouse in Nairobi
    Vibe and Amenities
    Nairobi is listed as a 'Cities Without Houses' (CWH) city, meaning members get access to Soho House's global network of physical Houses and to CWH-branded pop-up events when they occur locally, but there is no bricks-and-mortar Soho House clubhouse, coworking floor, gym, or hotel in Nairobi itself.
    Note
    Included for transparency since it's the best-known 'membership club' brand and often searched for, but it does not function as a real work-from space in this city.
  • Wojo (at Mercure Hotel, Upper Hill)
    Type
    Membership club
    Neighborhood
    Upper Hill
    Vibe and Amenities
    The closest thing Nairobi has to a hotel-hybrid social/work club: coworking desks embedded inside a Mercure hotel, giving members access to the hotel's gym, pool, and restaurant alongside 24/7 workspace and conference rooms.
    Note
    Base price is quoted by the operator in EUR (French coworking chain); converted here to KES/USD.

    Pricing

    Full Time Membership
    KES 44,800
  • AfricaNomads (Westlands Coliving + Coworking)
    Pricing
    Not publicly listed — pricing is quoted directly by the operator per stay length and room type; no fixed monthly rate found in public sources
    Type
    Co-living / co-working hybrid
    Neighborhood
    Westlands
    Vibe and Amenities
    A residential coliving setup in 3- and 4-bedroom apartments with private rooms (including a 'Double + Workspace' room type built around a desk setup), shared lounges, communal dinners, and partnerships giving residents discounted access to nearby coworking spaces and restaurants. Includes concierge-style local host support and a local SIM/portable WiFi router on arrival for some stays.
    Note
    AfricaNomads has also announced a second, separate Nairobi coliving property opening in January 2026 under the 'Digital Nomads' branding — status of that opening was not independently confirmed at time of writing.
