A five star three bedroom house on Laiser Hill Road, out on the ridge in Greater Nairobi. It lists a kitchen, a garden and parking, so the deciding question is whether you have a car and want space rather than a central address.
01What it is
3 Bedroom Serenity Homes is a five star property on Laiser Hill Road in Greater Nairobi, and the list of facilities is a house rather than a hotel: a kitchen, a balcony, a garden, a TV, free wifi and internet access, free car parking and parking, and pets allowed. The kitchen and the garden are the two entries a visitor would care about most, because they are what make a stay here different from a room in the centre, and pets allowed widens it further. The list is thin on anything serviced: no restaurant, no bar, no gym, no airport transfer, and nothing that tells you how the house is staffed or cleaned. On a ridge built for the car and the conference room, a kitchen and a garden are the whole offer.
What that adds up to for someone staying at 3 Bedroom Serenity Homes is space and self sufficiency rather than service or a central address. The house sits 16.1 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 202 minutes on foot in a direct line, so this is not a base for walking into the centre, and after dark the area is safe and dull, with hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. 3 Bedroom Serenity Homes suits a family or a group with a car, or someone in Nairobi for work on this side of the city, who wants a kitchen and a garden. It does not suit a first time visitor who wants to step out 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 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.
