A four star apartment block on Githunguri Road in Kileleshwa, with kitchens, laundry and a gym behind a staffed desk. It suits people who want a self contained base at the edge of the centre and a car, and it does not suit anyone hoping to step out of the door into the middle of the city.
01What it is
Cozy Residences by Trianum is listed as a four star apartment property on Githunguri Road in Kileleshwa, in Greater Nairobi rather than in the centre itself. The units come as apartments with a kitchen or kitchenette, and the list runs to the appliances that matter for a longer stay: an oven, a microwave, a refrigerator, a toaster and a washing machine. Bathrooms have a shower, a WC, a bidet, towels and toiletries, and bedrooms come with sheets, a desk, an iron and board, a safe and in some cases a balcony. The building runs a 24 hour front desk with express check in and a concierge, housekeeping and cleaning, laundry and dry cleaning, lifts, free wifi, free car parking, a fitness centre and a garden, plus family rooms and a cot. Two things are thin. Breakfast and dining are not on the list at all, only bars, so you feed yourself from the kitchen or eat out. And there is no airport transfer in the facts, only a shuttle service, which you would have to ask the desk about.
What that adds up to at Cozy Residences by Trianum is a serviced flat with hotel staffing. You get the desk, the security, the housekeeping and the gym, and you also get your own oven and your own washing machine, which is the reason to take an apartment over a room if you are staying more than a night or two. It is a car address. Kileleshwa is 2.61 km from Biashara Street and City Market, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers, and it is 3.23 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 41 minutes on foot in a direct line. Free parking and a shuttle service exist because you will use one of them. Anyone here for the CBD on foot every morning should stay nearer the centre; the fit is the longer stay, the family, or the traveller who wants a kitchen and a secure gate more than a short walk.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels sit outside the ten quarters of the centre this site covers. Biashara Street and City Market is only the nearest of the ten, and it is where you would be heading, not where you are sleeping. Take that as the shape of your stay: you are in the wider city, just outside the ten quarters, on the edge of the centre, and anything in the CBD means travelling in and out rather than stepping out of a lobby.
The quarter itself is the market one, 0.63 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 8 minutes on foot in a direct line. The oldest retail streets in the city: Biashara for cloth and haberdashery, Muindi Mbingu for flowers, and the 1930s City Market hall behind them for produce, curios and a fish counter. Jamia Mosque's three silver domes close the block. The streets are narrow, shaded, and the only part of the centre where the shops are still one-family wide. It suits kikoi and kitenge cloth, curios without the tour-bus markup, and an hour of architecture. It is a daytime quarter: the halls shut in the late afternoon and the streets empty with them, so plan the return before that.
