A three star apartment block on Kindaruma Rd, built for the car and the conference room, with parking, a garden and lifts on the list. The apartment format and the free parking decide whether it suits you.
01What it is
RoyalGardens Kilimani View Palace Apart sits on Kindaruma Rd and lists a short, practical set: dry cleaning service, free car parking, a garden, lifts, water and wheelchair access. The three star rating tells you what kind of place it is, a working apartment address rather than a full service hotel. For a visitor, parking and dry cleaning are the two that carry weight, and the lifts and wheelchair access matter if stairs are a problem. The list is thin on the things that decide a short leisure stay: there is nothing here about food, nothing about a bar, and nothing about how you get around once you stop driving, so the property itself answers only the most basic questions.
What that adds up to at RoyalGardens Kilimani View Palace Apart is a self contained base in Greater Nairobi, on new concrete on a ridge where the street is built for the car and the conference room. Nights here are safe and dull, with hotel bars and a ride anywhere else, so you want either a car or a willingness to take a taxi after dark. It suits people on longer stays, working trips, families with a vehicle and anyone who values parking over a lobby. It does not suit a visitor who wants to walk out to dinner or drinks, or who wants the centre of Nairobi on the doorstep.

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.
