A studio flat inside GoldPark Kilimani, in the ridge country above the centre, with a kitchen, wifi and a parking space. It suits someone with a car and business on this side of town. It does not suit anyone hoping to step out of a lobby into the middle of Nairobi.
01What it is
Cozy Studio at GoldPark Kilimani by Lulu Homes is a four star apartment in Greater Nairobi, built around the kitchen rather than the lobby. The listed facilities are a kitchen with a refrigerator, a desk, a balcony, a TV, free wifi and internet access, free car parking, and non smoking rooms. Cleaning is listed, and pets are allowed. The list is thin on hotel services: there is no restaurant, no bar, no gym and no airport transfer on it, so you eat in or go out, and you arrange your own day.
What that adds up to is a self contained flat rather than a serviced hotel room. Cozy Studio at GoldPark Kilimani by Lulu Homes puts the car at the centre of the stay, which fits the street it sits on: new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room. It sits 4.23 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 53 minutes on foot in a direct line, so walking into the centre is a serious undertaking and most people will drive. Book it if you want quiet, your own kitchen and a parking space on the Kilimani side. Leave it if you want the centre at the door, a bar downstairs or someone else cooking.

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.

06Questions
Where exactly is Cozy Studio at GoldPark Kilimani by Lulu Homes?+
It is in Greater Nairobi, on the GoldPark Kilimani ridge. The site puts it 4.23 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 53 minutes on foot in a direct line, so it is a drive rather than a walk into the centre. It sits 2.89 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers.
What is in the studio?+
It is a self contained flat. The listed facilities include a kitchen with a refrigerator, a desk, a balcony, a TV, free wifi and internet access, free car parking, non smoking rooms, cleaning and pets allowed. There is no restaurant, bar or gym on the list, so plan to cook or go out for meals.
Do I need a car to stay here?+
It helps. The property lists free car parking, and the ridge is built for the car and the conference room. After dark the area is described as safe and dull, with hotel bars and a ride anywhere else. If you prefer to walk everywhere, a place nearer the centre will serve you better.
How do I check availability for this studio?+
Availability and room details sit on the booking page rather than here. This site holds no rates or dates. Open the listing, put in your nights and see what comes back, then compare the studio against a hotel room in the centre if you want the middle of Nairobi at your door.
