A four star two bedroom apartment on Kindaruma Road in Kilimani. The kitchen, the washing machine and the free parking decide whether it suits you: if you are staying more than a night or two, and you have a car or do not mind taking one, it works. If you want to step out of the door into the centre of things, it does not.
01What it is
Rose Manor Cozy Luxurious 2 Bedroom Apartment in Kilimani Nairobi is a four star apartment let, and the list is built around the second word in that phrase. You get a full kitchen: oven, microwave, refrigerator, toaster, coffee, and water. You get a washing machine, an iron and board, housekeeping, cleaning and a laundry service. There are two bedrooms, family rooms, a cot, lifts, a safe, a balcony and a patio, free wifi, free car parking, 24 hour security, smoke detectors and first aid. Bathrobes, slippers, towels, toiletries, a hairdryer and a minibar are listed. Where the list is thin is anything aimed at a short city stay: a fan rather than air conditioning, no restaurant or bar of its own, and no gym or pool.
What that adds up to is a self contained flat rather than a hotel room, which is the whole point of Rose Manor Cozy Luxurious 2 Bedroom Apartment in Kilimani Nairobi. A family or a pair travelling together can cook, wash clothes and settle in. The desk and wifi cover a working stay. The cost of that is location. The street is new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room, and after dark it is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. The property sits 2.04 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. Suits longer stays, families and anyone with a car. Does not suit a visitor who wants 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 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.
