A four star apartment block on Lenana Road, north of the centre on a ridge built for cars and conferences. Kitchens, parking and a full service list decide it: right if you drive and want space, wrong if you want to walk out of the door into the city.
01What it is
Kaaz Apartments is a four star property on Lenana Road in Greater Nairobi, and the list it publishes is long and service-heavy: 24 hour front desk, express check in, lifts, safe, luggage storage, currency exchange, laundry and dry cleaning, newspapers, free wifi and room service. Eating and drinking are covered by restaurants, bars, a lounge and a night club, with shops and a casino on site. Kitchens in the apartments, car parking, valet parking, car rental and a shuttle service all point at a stay built around a vehicle.
For a visitor the combination is practical rather than atmospheric. Kaaz Apartments lets you arrive late, park, eat without leaving the compound, and cook for yourself if the restaurant routine wears thin. Pets are allowed and babysitting is offered, which widens who can use it, and the shuttle covers the trips you would rather not drive. It suits people here for meetings or conferences who want space and a car, and it does not suit anyone set on stepping out of a lobby into the life of 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 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 Kaaz Apartments through this site and check the apartment type and the parking arrangement before you confirm, since the car is the thing that makes the location work. 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.
