Roseville Apartment Family Stays is a four star apartment complex in Kilimani, built around self catering family units with a heated rooftop pool, gym and playground. The apartment, the garden, the parking and the family rooms decide it. If you want hotel service and a walkable evening, look elsewhere.
01What it is
Roseville Apartment Family Stays lists apartments rather than rooms, which means a kitchen, a kitchenette, an oven, a microwave, a fridge, a dishwasher, a washing machine, a toaster and a coffee setup. The family side is covered by family rooms, cots, high chairs and sofa beds. Outside the unit there is the heated rooftop pool, a fitness centre, a garden, a terrace, a patio and a playground, plus lifts, free wifi, free car parking and a shuttle service. The list is strong on apartment hardware and family equipment. It is thin on the things a business visitor might expect at four stars: no meeting or conference rooms are listed, no restaurant is named, and the bar and lounge are the only food and drink spaces mentioned. Air conditioning, fans, a safe, a smoke detector, toiletries and towels are all on file.
What that adds up to at Roseville Apartment Family Stays is a self contained stay. You cook, you wash, you put the children in the playground or the pool, and you use the parking and the shuttle for everything else. It suits families staying several nights, couples who prefer an apartment to a room, and anyone with a car who wants a quiet ridge address. It does not suit a visitor who wants to step out of the lobby into restaurants and bars, or who needs a conference floor and a business centre in the same building. The property is clear about what it is, and the shortage of dining and meeting space on the list is the honest limit of it.

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.
