Cheap place in Narobi

Jambo again to everybody,
I too do have questions reagarding the Nairobi-Mombasa train:

1. is the timetable posted in the internet somewhere?

I will be arriving by plan on a weekday around 22h, so I guess I will have to take the train on the next day

2. can anybody suggest a nice but affordable place to spend one night in Nairobi?

Thanks again and
greetings,
Katalana

The train does not operate daily.
I live in Nairobi and if you could email me I could check and give you the schedule as well get you the hotel rates if you indicated your budget.

May also be worth considering flying, the cost does not vary that much unless you are doing it for sightseeing purposes.

And if you travel by Kenya Airways to kenya, they allow you one change free of charge.
