A four star apartment block on Sports Road in Westlands, with kitchens, a pool and a fitness centre, in a part of Nairobi that empties after dark. It suits longer stays and drivers, not anyone wanting the centre on foot.
01What it is
Marina Bay Apartments Nairobi Westlands lists apartments rather than rooms, so you get a kitchen with an oven, a microwave, a refrigerator and a toaster, plus a washing machine, an iron and board, and a balcony. The block also lists free wifi, free car parking, a lift, 24 hour security, a safe, smoke detectors and wheelchair accessible space, and it runs a fitness centre, an outdoor pool with a pool bar, a games room with darts, a playground and a terrace. Non smoking rooms, family rooms, laundry, cleaning and a shuttle service are all on the list. It is four star, and the list is thin in one place: there is little here in the way of a kitchen you do not cook in.
For someone staying at Marina Bay Apartments Nairobi Westlands, the shape of the day is set by the location rather than the building. The apartment does the work of a small flat, which is the point for a long stay, a family or a group, and the car parking and shuttle matter because the street is built for vehicles. The fine print is the same for everyone. The after dark description of this area is safe and dull, hotel bars and a ride anywhere else, so plan on driving out to eat. It suits people with business on the ridge and their own transport. It does not suit anyone who wants to walk into the centre of an evening.

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.
