A three star apartment block on a ridge in Greater Nairobi, built for the car and the conference room. Free parking, a garden and lifts are the substance of it. It suits people driving to meetings and self-catering stays; it does not suit anyone who wants the centre on foot.
01What it is
Geomara 2 Bdroom Ppl Center lists free car parking, a garden, lifts, luggage storage, a safe, laundry service and a smoking area. Those are the practical entries a driver or a longer stay would use, and the parking and lift are the two that carry the most weight in a low-rise, car-led part of the city. The list is thin where it matters most to a visitor: there is no restaurant, no bar, no gym, no work area and no airport transfer. Smoking is confined to a smoking area, so the rest of the property is not a smoking building.
What that adds up to at Geomara 2 Bdroom Ppl Center is a quiet, functional base in Greater Nairobi, 4.3 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 54 minutes on foot in a direct line. 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 are driving, parking on site and treating the apartment as a place to sleep between meetings. Do not book it if you want the centre, the markets or the evening streets within walking distance, because you will be taking a car or a ride for all of that.

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.
