A 3 star apartment block on Rose Avenue, high on the Kilimani ridge. The listed services are ordinary rather than generous, and the location matters more than the building: a car and a reason to be in this part of the city are what make it work for you.
01What it is
Scenic View Apartments Kilimani is a 3 star property on Rose Avenue, and the facilities it lists are functional. Free wifi and free car parking are the two that most guests will actually use. Beyond that there is a concierge, dry cleaning service, laundry service and luggage storage. That is the whole list. There is no restaurant, no bar and no gym named, and nothing about the apartment interiors is recorded, so a visitor should expect a working base rather than a full service hotel.
What that adds up to is somewhere to sleep and park, not somewhere to spend an evening. The street the property sits on 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. Scenic View Apartments Kilimani suits a business traveller with a car and a meeting nearby, or a longer stay that wants its own laundry and parking. It does not suit anyone looking for the centre on foot, nightlife at the door or a hotel with a restaurant downstairs.

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.
