Delight Apartments is a three star block on Diani Close in Greater Nairobi, with parking, luggage storage and a safe, and it is 4.11 km from the nearest quarter this site covers. Whether you want it turns on how you are getting around.
01What it is
Delight Apartments lists four things: free car parking, luggage storage, newspapers and a safe. That is the whole of the list. The parking and the safe are the two a visitor would actually lean on, and there is somewhere to leave a bag if you arrive early or leave late. The list does not run to a restaurant, a gym, a pool, a shuttle or a reception service you can point to, so you are choosing Delight Apartments for the room and the parking space, not for anything laid on around it.
What that adds up to is self sufficiency. Delight Apartments sits on a ridge on new concrete built for the car and the conference room, so the surrounding streets are for arriving and leaving rather than for spending an evening. It suits a driver with business in the conference venues who wants a safe, a parking space and a quiet base, and it does not suit anyone without a car or anyone hoping to walk out to dinner or into the centre.

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.

Delight Apartments keeps the booking side simple: a straightforward 3 star near the conference venues of the north western ridge. Most rooms here can be cancelled free, and you book them through app.impt.io. Every confirmed booking removes one tonne of CO2, at no extra cost to you. Five percent of what you pay comes back as IMPT credit, out of the hotel commission rather than added to your bill.
Facts on this page come from the booking supplier's record: star class, address, photographs and facility list. Guest scores come from verified stays. Nobody from this site has stayed here; the quarter copy around it is this site's own.

It helps. Diani Close sits on a ridge built for the car and the conference room, and the evenings around it are hotel bars and a ride anywhere else. The property provides free parking, which is useful if you are driving. Without a car, plan on using rides rather than walking out for dinner.
