A three star property on a ridge in Karen, 12.92 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 162 minutes on foot in a direct line. The listings are a garden, a restaurant, laundry, a luggage room and a hairdryer. The distance and the quiet decide whether it is right for you.
01What it is
Savannah Garden Resorts Limited lists five facilities: a garden, restaurant service, laundry, a luggage room and a hairdryer. The garden and the restaurant are the two a visitor would notice; laundry and the luggage room are the practical pair. The list is thin on the things a city hotel usually uses to sell itself. There is no bar, no gym, no pool, no meeting room written down, and a hairdryer is the only in room extra named. At three stars it is not trying to be more than that.
What Savannah Garden Resorts Limited adds up to is a quiet, low facility base in Karen, Greater Nairobi, built for the car and the conference room. It is 11.09 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. You sleep and eat here, you do not spend the day here. Suits anyone driving, parking and leaving for meetings. Wrong if you want the centre on foot or the quarter after dark.

Facilities are the supplier's list, not a check made on the ground.
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 a long way out, in the wider city, and Upper Hill and Community is only the nearest of the ten quarters to them, which is not the same as being in it. Treat the quarter as a reference point, not an address. Anything you want in the CBD means travelling in and out.
The quarter itself is the western ridge above the centre: new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room. It is not the CBD proper but the ridge immediately above it, and the place most of the CBD's office space has been moving to since the 2000s: 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 lies 1.9 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 24 minutes on foot in a direct line.

The site puts it 12.92 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 162 minutes on foot in a direct line, and 11.09 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers.
What facilities does the property list?+
The listed facilities are a garden, a restaurant, laundry service, a luggage room and a hairdryer. Those are the five. There is no bar, pool, gym or meeting room named. The garden and restaurant are the two most visitors notice; the rest are practical rather than resort features.
What is it like getting into the centre from Greater Nairobi?+
The property is 12.92 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 162 minutes on foot in a direct line. You do not walk it. The street is built for the car and for conferences, and after dark you take a ride anywhere else. Plan on driving or being driven.
What does the guest score mean?+
The property has 4.4 out of 5 from 37 reviews. That is high, and the review count is small, so treat it as a short, positive record rather than a broad one. With 12 photos on file, there is not much visual evidence to check it against before you book.
