Rose Garden Apartments is a four star apartment address on Gatundu Road in Greater Nairobi, on new concrete built for the car and the conference room. The outdoor pool, the parking and the family rooms decide it: this suits people who drive and want space, not people who want the centre at the door.
01What it is
Rose Garden Apartments lists a broad, practical set: free wifi, free car parking and a garage, an outdoor pool with a pool bar and a kids pool, a restaurant, bars and a lounge, a 24 hour front desk, concierge, express check in, currency exchange, a business center, banquet and meeting space, laundry service, luggage storage and lifts. Rooms are non smoking, with family rooms available, and pets are allowed. The list is thinner on detail about the apartments themselves, and the address is residential rather than central.
For someone staying here, Rose Garden Apartments reads as a self contained base: you park, you swim, you eat on site, and you use the desk for what you need. It is 4.39 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 55 minutes on foot in a direct line, and 3.56 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. Suits drivers, families and anyone working nearby; not people who want the centre on foot.

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.
