A three star serviced apartment block on Kilimani Kirichwa Rd, on a ridge of new concrete in Greater Nairobi, built for the car and the conference room. The deciding fact is the setting: a residential ridge outside the centre, safe and dull after dark, with hotel bars and a ride anywhere else. It suits drivers and conference goers, not anyone wanting the daytime quarter on foot.
01What it is
New Trafford Serviced Apartments is a three star block on Kilimani Kirichwa Rd, and the listed facilities are the practical sort a working stay needs: a 24 hour front desk, concierge, free wifi, free car parking and parking more generally, laundry service, luggage storage and multilingual staff. That covers the arrival, the car and the admin, and the pairing of a staffed desk with parking is the part that matters most here. Where the list is thin is everything else: no restaurant, no gym, no workspace, no kitchen equipment named, nothing about how the apartments themselves are laid out. On the record given, New Trafford Serviced Apartments is a service and parking proposition, not a facilities one.
What that adds up to is a base for someone whose day happens elsewhere. New Trafford Serviced Apartments sits on a ridge of new concrete in Greater Nairobi, a setting made for the car and the conference room, and it is 4.9 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 62 minutes on foot in a direct line. On foot that is not a commute. With a car and an early desk, it works. It suits conference goers, drivers and anyone sleeping here between working days in the city. It does not suit a visitor who wants the centre on foot, or evenings out without arranging a ride.

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.

06Questions
Where exactly is New Trafford Serviced Apartments?+
It is on Kilimani Kirichwa Rd in Greater Nairobi, on a ridge of new concrete built for the car and the conference room. It is 3.26 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers, so the surrounding streets are residential and reached by car rather than on foot.
What does the property actually list as facilities?+
The listed facilities are a 24 hour front desk, concierge, free wifi, free car parking, parking, laundry service, luggage storage and multilingual staff. There is no restaurant, gym or named workspace on the list, so plan meals and meetings elsewhere and treat this as a serviced base rather than a full service hotel.
What is getting into the centre like from here?+
The property is 4.9 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 62 minutes on foot in a direct line. That is not a walk you would do twice a day. Arrive with a car or a plan for rides, and the location stops being a problem.
How do I check availability for specific dates?+
Put your dates into the booking link and it will show what is open for New Trafford Serviced Apartments. Check the apartment layout and whether parking is included for your dates before you confirm, since the listed facilities do not say how the apartments themselves are arranged.
