A three star guest house on Dennis Pritt Road in Kilimani, on the ridge above the centre. The list covers the working basics and a garden, and nothing beyond them. It suits you if you want a quiet base for meetings and you are happy to take a car into town.
01What it is
Biblica Guest House lists the working essentials: a 24 hour front desk, free wifi, a business centre, laundry, luggage storage, a safe and a restaurant, with breakfast among the listed facilities. There is a garden, babysitting can be arranged, and the property is wheelchair accessible. The list is thin on the things people ask about next: nothing is said about a gym, a pool, airport transfers or parking, and a surcharge is noted without saying what it covers. The three star rating matches that picture, a place built around the room and the desk rather than around facilities.
What that adds up to is a quiet, functional base in Kilimani, where the streets are, in this site's words, new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room. Biblica Guest House suits you if you are in Nairobi for meetings in the Upper Hill direction, or you want a garden and a front desk that never closes. It does not suit you if you want to step out of the door into the centre. The quarter is 2.03 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers, so coming and going means a car, and evenings are, after dark, safe and dull. Hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels are not in Upper Hill and Community, and they are not in any of the ten quarters this site covers. They sit just outside the ten quarters, on the edge of the centre, and Upper Hill and Community is only the nearest of the ten. That puts you in the wider city rather than in the grid itself, so anything in the CBD means travelling in and out rather than stepping out of a lobby into it.
The ridge above the centre is new concrete, built for the car and the conference room: the tallest towers in the country, the big hospitals, the aid agencies, and an expressway ramp to the airport. It is best for meetings, a quiet night close in, and a fast run to the airport, and after dark it is safe and dull, hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. The quarter sits 1.9 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 24 minutes on foot in a direct line, though that is the quarter's own distance and not a walk from these hotels.
