A four star apartment block on Oloitoktok Road in Kilimani, built for longer stays and for people arriving by car. The kitchen and the washing machine decide it: this suits you if you want to cook and settle in, and it does not if you want the centre at your door.
01What it is
Manna Haven Stylish Stay in Kilimani is a four star apartment property on Oloitoktok Road, and the list is built around self catering rather than hotel service. You get a kitchen or kitchenette with a microwave and a refrigerator, a washing machine, an iron and board, and a balcony. Bathrooms come with a bath or shower, a bidet, a WC, towels, toiletries and slippers. There is a desk, a safe, a TV and free wifi, plus free car parking, a lift, 24 hour security with smoke detectors and security features, non smoking rooms, cleaning and laundry service, express check in and wheelchair access. Where the list is thin is anything beyond the room: no restaurant, no bar, no gym and no airport transfer is named.
What that adds up to is an apartment for someone who wants a base rather than a hotel. Manna Haven Stylish Stay in Kilimani gives you the run of a kitchen and a washing machine, which matters on a long stay or a working trip where you would rather not eat out every night. The desk and the free parking push it further towards the car borne guest with paperwork to finish. Kilimani 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. Choose it if you want space and quiet and you have a car. Do not choose it if you want to step out of a lobby into 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 of the centre this site covers. They sit well outside the centre, in the inner suburbs, and Upper Hill and Community is only the nearest of the ten quarters. That matters more than it sounds: you are staying in the wider city, and anything in the CBD means travelling in and out for it. The ridge itself is new concrete built for the car and the conference room, and most of the CBD's office space has been moving up there since the 2000s, which is why you find the tallest towers in the country, the big hospitals, the aid agencies and an expressway ramp to the airport on it. The quarter sits 1.9 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 24 minutes on foot in a direct line.
Upper Hill and Community is best for meetings, a quiet night close in, and a fast run to the airport. After dark it is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. If you want the centre on foot, this is not the right base.

This is an apartment rather than a serviced hotel, so book ahead if you want the kitchen units and the parking space rather than whatever is left. 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.
06Questions
Where exactly is Manna Haven Stylish Stay in Kilimani?+
It sits on Oloitoktok Road in Kilimani, inside Greater Nairobi, which covers this part of the city. Kilimani is the ridge suburb west of the centre, built up with new concrete blocks and offices. It is 4.06 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers.
Do the apartments have kitchens?+
Yes. Manna Haven Stylish Stay in Kilimani lists a kitchen or kitchenette with a microwave and a refrigerator, and a washing machine and iron and board alongside. That makes self catering straightforward, which is the main reason to take an apartment here rather than a hotel room with a kettle.
How do you get into the centre from Kilimani?+
By car or by taxi. The property is 5.42 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 68 minutes on foot in a direct line, so walking is a long haul and not the way most people do it. Free car parking is listed at the property, which makes driving in reasonable.
How do I check availability for Manna Haven Stylish Stay in Kilimani?+
Use the booking link on this page, which goes through app.impt.io. Enter your dates there and the system shows which apartments are open, along with the cancellation terms. If you need a kitchen unit or a parking space in particular, it is worth sorting that early in the process rather than on arrival.
