A four star property on Savannah Rd, out in Greater Nairobi rather than the centre, with parking, a cafe and a casino under one roof. The street outside is a working market road: trucks, handcarts and vegetables changing hands before dawn. It suits anyone whose business here happens at first light.
01What it is
Ramosa Hotel And Accommodation is a four star property on Savannah Rd, listed with the practical things a driver or a working stay needs: car parking including free car parking, a 24 hour front desk, lifts, luggage storage, housekeeping and laundry service, plus a shuttle service and wheelchair access. It has a restaurant, a cafe, coffee, a casino, a spa, entertainment activities and a smoking area. Rooms come with a refrigerator, a TV, sheets and towels. Pets are not allowed, and the listing flags a surcharge without saying what for. The list is broad rather than deep: it is a facilities sheet, and it does not tell you what the rooms are actually like or what the restaurant serves.
What that adds up to for someone staying at Ramosa Hotel And Accommodation is a self-contained place on the edge of the city rather than in it. The distance from the centre is real: 8.55 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 107 minutes on foot in a direct line. Everything on the list keeps you on site once you are back, which is the point. It suits people with a car, people working the markets who need to be out before dawn, and anyone who wants the casino, spa and restaurant in the same building. It does not suit anyone who wants to walk out into the centre in the evening, because the street here is mornings only.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels are not in Muthurwa and the east markets, and they are not in any of the ten quarters of the centre this site covers. They sit a long way out, in the wider city, and Muthurwa and the east markets is only the nearest of the ten. That is the whole point of the distinction: you are sleeping outside the grid, and you will be travelling in and out for anything in the CBD.
The quarter itself is the eastern edge of the grid: wholesale produce, bus termini, before dawn. Trucks, handcarts and the entire city’s vegetables changing hands at 5am. It is the wholesale edge, where Muthurwa’s market and the country bus termini push up against the railway land, and it feeds the rest of the grid. Best for an early-morning market walk with someone who knows it. After dark it is closed, dark and not a place to be, and mornings are the only sensible time. Muthurwa sits 1.23 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 16 minutes on foot in a direct line, and that figure describes the quarter, not your journey from these hotels.

06Questions
Where is Ramosa Hotel And Accommodation?+
On Savannah Rd in Nairobi, in Greater Nairobi rather than the central business district. It sits 7.34 km from Muthurwa and the east markets, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. That puts it well outside the centre, so plan on a vehicle rather than a walk.
What does the property actually list?+
A 24 hour front desk, car parking, free car parking, lifts, luggage storage, housekeeping, laundry service, a shuttle service and wheelchair access. It also lists a restaurant, a cafe, coffee, a casino, a spa, entertainment activities and a smoking area. Rooms have a refrigerator, TV, sheets and towels. Pets are not allowed.
Can I walk into the centre from here?+
Not practically. The property is 8.55 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 107 minutes on foot in a direct line. The street outside handles trucks, handcarts and the city's vegetables from early morning and is not a route to walk into town.
What does the guest score mean?+
The property carries a score of 4.5 out of 5 from 11 reviews. That is a strong figure from a small number of guests, so treat it as a positive signal rather than a settled record. Read the individual comments before you decide.
