A four star apartment block on Kindaruma Road in Kilimani, in Greater Nairobi, with full kitchens, laundry, parking and lifts. It suits longer self catering stays with a car; it does not suit anyone who wants to be inside the central business district on foot.
01What it is
Kindaruma Homes Kilimani lists apartments rather than rooms, and the facility list is built around that: a kitchenette, microwave, refrigerator, washing machine, iron and board, cleaning, laundry service, towels, toiletries and a safe. There is free wifi and internet access, free car parking, lifts, non smoking rooms, family rooms, a desk, a TV, slippers, a shower, a bath, a WC, a balcony, carpeted floors and a smoke detector. The property also lists a restaurant, and carries a four star rating. Where the list is thin is outside the apartment itself: one restaurant, no grounds, no pool, no gym, and nothing that suggests the building is more than a serviced block.
What that adds up to is a self contained base in Greater Nairobi rather than a hotel in the middle of things. Kindaruma Homes Kilimani is 1.83 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers, so the business district is close but not at the door. 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. Suit a family or a working stay of several weeks, with a car, cooking in, and laundry done in the apartment. Do not book it to walk out to dinner or to be in the centre of the city.

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.
