Edaala Comfort Cottage Rooms is a four star property on a ridge in Greater Nairobi, well away from the centre. It suits drivers who want parking, quiet and a kitchen, and it does not suit anyone who wants to walk to the city.
01What it is
Edaala Comfort Cottage Rooms lists a full domestic kit rather than a hotel one. There is a kitchen, a kitchenette, a microwave, a refrigerator, a toaster and coffee, alongside a lounge, a patio, a terrace, a garden and a picnic area. Rooms come with bath or shower, WC, towels, toiletries, a hairdryer, slippers, a desk, a TV and a DVD player. There is free wifi, free car parking, a fitness center, laundry service, housekeeping, a safe, luggage storage, cots, iron and board, wake-up service, non smoking rooms and a smoking area. The list is thin on the front desk side: nothing about a restaurant, a bar, a shuttle or a business centre, so treat the room and the grounds as the whole of the offer.
What that adds up to is a self contained stay on the edge of the city. Edaala Comfort Cottage Rooms is 12.08 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 151 minutes on foot in a direct line, and 10.2 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. The street is new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room, and after dark it is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. Book it if you have a car and want kitchen space and quiet. Do not book it if the point of your trip is the Central Business District on foot.

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 a long way out, in the wider city, and Upper Hill and Community is only the nearest of the ten quarters to them, which is not the same as being in it. Treat the quarter as a reference point, not an address. Anything you want in the CBD means travelling in and out.
The quarter itself is the western ridge above the centre: new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room. It is not the CBD proper but the ridge immediately above it, and the place most of the CBD's office space has been moving to since the 2000s: 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 lies 1.9 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 24 minutes on foot in a direct line.
