Hanan Guest House is a 3 star property on Muhoho Avenue in Greater Nairobi, on wide industrial land where the sheds and yards explain why this part of the city exists at all. It is 2.92 km from The Railway Quarter, the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. What decides it is the car.
01What it is
Hanan Guest House lists the practical things a working stay needs: a 24 hour front desk, free wifi, free car parking, luggage storage and a safe. There is a business centre and a meeting room, plus a restaurant on site and a terrace. Laundry and dry cleaning are both listed, and there is a smoking area. The list is thin on anything beyond that: no gym, no pool, no airport transfer, and the terrace is the only outdoor space named.
For someone staying at Hanan Guest House, that adds up to a straightforward place to sleep and work, not a place to spend an afternoon. The car parking and the business centre are the two entries that matter most here, because the street is wide industrial land, sheds, and the reason any of this is here. It is industrial and unlit in stretches after dark, so it is daylight only, and a car back. Hanan Guest House suits a traveller with their own vehicle and business in the industrial belt. It does not suit anyone on foot after dark, or anyone who wants the centre at the door.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels are not in The Railway Quarter. They sit just outside the ten quarters this site covers, on the edge of the centre, and The Railway Quarter is only the nearest of the ten. What that means in practice is that you are in the wider city, not in the grid, and you will be travelling in and out for anything in the CBD.
The nearest quarter is the southern edge of the centre: wide industrial land, sheds, and the reason any of this is here. Nairobi exists because the Uganda Railway stopped here in 1899 to gather strength for the Rift, and the 1929 station, the old yards and the museum of locomotives sit on the CBD's southern boundary, ten minutes below Kenyatta Avenue; the quarter is 0.89 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 12 minutes on foot in a direct line. It is best for the museum, and for understanding the city's whole layout in one afternoon. After dark it is industrial and unlit in stretches. Daylight only, and a car back.
