Lux Suites Goldpark Homes Kilimani is an apartment block on Wood Avenue, west of the centre, with kitchens, washing machines and free parking. The kitchen is what decides it: book here if you want to cook and keep a car, and look elsewhere if you want the middle of town on foot.
01What it is
Lux Suites Goldpark Homes Kilimani is a three star apartment property on Wood Avenue, and the list is built around staying in rather than passing through. Each unit has a kitchen or kitchenette with a microwave, oven and refrigerator, plus a washing machine, iron and board, and a balcony. Bathrooms come with a bath or shower, toiletries, towels, a bathrobe and slippers. There is a desk, a safe, a TV and a radio, carpet underfoot, lifts, and wifi. Parking is free and on site, security runs around the clock, and housekeeping, cleaning and laundry are available. Pets are allowed and the property says it is wheelchair accessible. The list is thin on the things a hotel normally supplies: there is no restaurant, no bar and no gym, and nothing about airport transfers or a concierge.
What that adds up to at Lux Suites Goldpark Homes Kilimani is a self contained flat with hotel services attached, rather than a hotel with a kitchenette bolted on. You shop and cook, you wash your own clothes if you want to, you park without paying again, and you keep your own hours. It suits a longer stay, a family, or anyone working in the west of the city who would rather not eat out every night, and the pet policy widens that further. It does not suit anyone whose trip is built around the centre. The building sits on a ridge of new concrete put up for cars and conference rooms, and after dark the area is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. If you want to step out of a lobby into the middle of things, this is the wrong side of town.

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.
