A three star one bedroom apartment on Kindaruma Road in Kilimani, with the kitchenette and parking that make a longer stay work. It decides on one thing: you have a reason to be in Kilimani rather than the centre, because the centre is the other side of the ridge.
01What it is
Modern 1 Bedroom in kilimani Nairobi is a three star apartment with its own bathroom and a kitchenette, which is the part that matters: you can cook rather than eat out every night. Free wifi and internet access are listed, as are a TV, non smoking rooms and free car parking on site. The list is thin on everything else. There is no restaurant, no bar, no gym and no workspace, and no reception desk is mentioned, so you should not arrive expecting a hotel's front of house.
What that adds up to is a self contained flat on a ridge built for the car, on a street of new concrete and conference rooms. Modern 1 Bedroom in kilimani Nairobi suits someone staying several nights who wants a kitchen, a parking space and quiet, and who will drive or take a ride to wherever the day is. It does not suit anyone who wants to step out of a lobby into the centre. The halls are shut in the late afternoon and the centre is a ride away.

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.
