Kenyatta National Hospital is Kenya's largest referral hospital, a public teaching and research facility in Nairobi that draws patients, their families and medical staff from across the country. Its scale as a national referral centre means that many visitors are not tourists at all, but relatives and caregivers who need to stay close by for days or weeks at a time. That need has shaped the accommodation around it: the streets within about a kilometre of the hospital hold hotels, guest houses, homestays and serviced apartments that cater to long and short stays alike. For a companion or an outpatient attending appointments, staying near the hospital removes the daily problem of crossing Nairobi's traffic before an early ward round or clinic slot. The choices range from simple three-star guest houses to a five-star boutique address, and several offer apartments with kitchen space, which suits families settling in for a longer spell.
