Urban Oasis in Kilimani is a four star apartment block in Greater Nairobi, on a ridge where the streets are built for the car and the conference room. Self catering, a pool and parking decide whether it works for you. It is a base for longer stays, not one for people who want to walk out to dinner.
01What it is
Urban Oasis in Kilimani lists 12 photos and a long, shifting set of facilities: self catering apartments with a kitchen, oven, microwave and refrigerator, a washing machine for longer stays, a balcony or terrace, and a garden. Inside there are non smoking rooms, a desk, a safe, a TV, towels, sheets, slippers, toiletries, and a hairdryer. Free wifi and free car parking cover the two things you need on arrival, and a lift handles the 13th floor. There is a fitness centre, a swimming pool, a restaurant, room service, laundry, 24H security, and first aid. The list is thin on food: one restaurant, no kitchen opening hours, and nothing that says how far you are from a shop.
What this adds up to for anyone staying here is a self contained apartment on a ridge, useful if you are in Nairobi for work over several days, arriving with a car, and treating the room as the base rather than the point of the trip. Urban Oasis in Kilimani suits conference goers, families who want a kitchen, and anyone who values the lift and the parking more than the pavement. It does not suit a short leisure stay built around going out. The after dark line on this area is blunt: safe and dull, hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. For availability, check the booking panel for the dates you want and pick an apartment type. The 13th floor address means you will rely on the lift.

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 well outside the centre, in the inner suburbs, and Upper Hill and Community is only the nearest of the ten quarters. That matters more than it sounds: you are staying in the wider city, and anything in the CBD means travelling in and out for it. The ridge itself is new concrete built for the car and the conference room, and most of the CBD's office space has been moving up there since the 2000s, which is why you find the tallest towers in the country, the big hospitals, the aid agencies and an expressway ramp to the airport on it. The quarter sits 1.9 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 24 minutes on foot in a direct line.
Upper Hill and Community is best for meetings, a quiet night close in, and a fast run to the airport. After dark it is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. If you want the centre on foot, this is not the right base.
