Kerarapony House is a three star property off Kerarapon Drive in Greater Nairobi, on a ridge built for the car and the conference room. It sits well outside the centre the rest of this site covers, so the one thing that decides whether it suits you is whether you have a car.
01What it is
Kerarapony House lists the practical set: breakfast, free wifi, free car parking, luggage storage, dry cleaning service and a smoking area, with wheelchair access stated. That is the whole of it. There is no restaurant beyond breakfast, no pool, no gym, no shuttle, no airport transfer and no room service on the list, so plan your meals and your movements around that. The parking and the wifi are the two entries that will matter most to anyone staying here.
What that adds up to at Kerarapony House is a plain three star base in Greater Nairobi, and the deciding factor is your own transport. It is 18.7 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 234 minutes on foot in a direct line, and 17.11 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. This suits conference visitors and people driving in for work who want parking and quiet. It does not suit anyone planning to see Nairobi on foot or on matatus, because the centre is not within reach of either.

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.

06Questions
Where exactly is Kerarapony House?+
It is on Kerarapon Drive in Greater Nairobi, in Kajiado County, on a ridge built for the car and the conference room. It is not in the Central Business District and not in any of the quarters this site covers, so treat it as a separate base rather than a city centre address.
What is in the area around Kerarapony House?+
The street is new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room, which means the surroundings are offices and conference space rather than shops and restaurants. After dark it is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. If you want to eat or drink elsewhere, you need a car.
Does Kerarapony House have parking and wifi?+
Yes. Free car parking and free wifi are both on the list, along with breakfast, dry cleaning service, luggage storage, a smoking area and wheelchair access. There is no restaurant beyond breakfast and no shuttle, so anyone without their own car should think about how they will get around.
How do I check availability at Kerarapony House?+
Use the booking link on this page to see which rooms are open for your dates and to confirm the terms before you commit. Breakfast, wifi and parking are included in the listing rather than sold separately, so what you see at that point is what the property provides.
