A three star apartment on Wood Ave in Kilimani, on the ridge south west of the centre, in a part of Nairobi built for the car and the conference room. The kitchen decides it: self catering suits a longer stay, and the location suits anyone with a reason to be in Kilimani or Upper Hill rather than the CBD.
01What it is
Stay.Plus Mango Court Apartment Kilimani lists a full self catering set: kitchen, microwave, refrigerator, plus air conditioning, free wifi and internet access, a TV, iron and board, towels, toiletries, slippers and a bidet. There is a balcony, lifts, family rooms and non smoking rooms, and the private bathroom has both a WC and a bidet. It is a three star property. The list is thin on the things a hotel normally provides: no restaurant or bar, no pool, no gym, no breakfast and no workspace.
For someone staying a week or more, Stay.Plus Mango Court Apartment Kilimani works because you cook your own meals and the apartment holds your things rather than a single room. Read the surroundings before you book: Kilimani 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. It suits a driver with business in Kilimani or Upper Hill, and it does not suit anyone who wants to walk out of the door into the centre.

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.
