A four star apartment block on Wood Avenue in Greater Nairobi, close to Upper Hill but apart from the centre. The kitchen, the washing machine and the parking decide it: this suits a household or a long stay, and it does not suit anyone who wants the middle of the city on foot.
01What it is
Delightful Stay is a four star apartment property on Wood Avenue, in block C of Goldpark Homes. The list is built around staying in rather than passing through: a kitchen with a microwave and refrigerator, a washing machine, iron and board, coffee, a balcony, a safe, and a market on site. There is free wifi, free car parking, 24H security, lifts, cleaning, a fitness center, family rooms and non smoking rooms. The list is thinner than it looks: it says nothing about dining, breakfast, a desk or a reception, and one photo on file means you are booking on the written list alone.
What that adds up to is a self contained flat in a concrete quarter built for the car and the conference room. Delightful Stay is 2.89 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers, so it works if your business is there or along the ridge, and it works for a family or a group who want to cook and do laundry. It does not work if you want the Central Business District at your door, and it does not work without a car, since the evenings here are safe and dull, hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else.

03Standing 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.

Book this one if you want a serviced apartment rather than a hotel room, and check the written facility list before you commit, because the photos on file are thin. 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.
