A 3 star suite property on Rose Ave, built for the car and the conference room, with a full front desk, parking and dining on site. Its position in Greater Nairobi, away from the centre, decides whether it works for you.
01What it is
The Clan Suites lists a 24 hour front desk, concierge, luggage storage and laundry service, so the practical side of a stay is covered. It has a restaurant, a cafe, breakfast and a bar, plus a library and a smoking area. There is free car parking and a shuttle service, and the property is wheelchair accessible. Coffee, sheets and towels appear as standalone items. The list is thin on room detail: it tells you what the building offers, not what a suite contains. It is a 3 star property and the facilities match that level.
For a stay, The Clan Suites functions as a base with a car or a shuttle, not a place to step out of and walk. It sits 1.76 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers, and 3.31 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 42 minutes on foot in a direct line. The street 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 people with a reason to be in this part of Greater Nairobi. It does not suit anyone who wants the centre on foot.

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.

If you are booking The Clan Suites, confirm that the shuttle service and free parking cover what you need before you commit, because the location makes transport the main question. Most rooms here can be cancelled free, and you book them through app.impt.io. Every confirmed booking removes one tonne of CO2, at no extra cost to you. Five percent of what you pay comes back as IMPT credit, out of the hotel commission rather than added to your bill.
