A four star apartment on Argwings Kodhek Road, on the ridge above the centre, with a kitchen, a balcony and parking. The deciding fact is the car: it sits 4.33 km from Upper Hill and Community, the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers, so you drive to meetings or you stay put.
01What it is
Cosynook Home City Oasis Gardens is an apartment block on Argwings Kodhek Road, on the fourteenth floor, and the facilities list reads like a flat rather than a hotel room. Kitchen, microwave, refrigerator, washing machine, iron and board, coffee, water. Air conditioning and a fan, a desk, a safe, a TV with pay per view and a DVD player, towels, sheets, toiletries, a hairdryer and slippers. The building adds lifts, 24 hour security, free wifi, free car parking, a garden and a terrace. Where the list is thin: there is no restaurant, no bar and no gym, and the listing says apartments, cleaning, housekeeping, laundry and dry cleaning rather than describing any of them in detail.
What that adds up to at Cosynook Home City Oasis Gardens is self sufficiency. You cook or you go out, you park on site, and the apartment holds you for a week as easily as a night. It sits on the ridge, on new concrete built for the car and the conference room, and after dark the area is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. Suits anyone with a car, a driver or a long stay, and families, who get family rooms and a kitchen. Does not suit anyone who wants the centre on foot, or a bar and restaurant downstairs.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels are not in Upper Hill and Community, and they are not in any of the ten quarters of the centre this site covers. They sit well outside the centre, in the inner suburbs, and Upper Hill and Community is only the nearest of the ten quarters. That matters more than it sounds: you are staying in the wider city, and anything in the CBD means travelling in and out for it. The ridge itself is new concrete built for the car and the conference room, and most of the CBD's office space has been moving up there since the 2000s, which is why you find the tallest towers in the country, the big hospitals, the aid agencies and an expressway ramp to the airport on it. The quarter sits 1.9 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 24 minutes on foot in a direct line.
Upper Hill and Community is best for meetings, a quiet night close in, and a fast run to the airport. After dark it is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. If you want the centre on foot, this is not the right base.
