A conference guest house off Waiyaki Way, parked on new concrete on a ridge and built for the car. It suits someone here to work, or anyone who wants a room behind a gate and a bar downstairs. It does not suit a visit that expects the centre on foot.
01What it is
Afralti Conference & Guest House is a 3 star property off Waiyaki Way in Greater Nairobi. The listed facilities are one conference hotel's set: a 24 hour front desk, concierge, luggage storage, meeting room, restaurant, bars, laundry and dry cleaning, free wifi, a smoking area and wheelchair access. That is a working hotel's list. There is no pool, no gym, no airport transfer and no spa. Nothing on the list talks about grounds or about getting anywhere without a car, because on this ridge there is not much to get to.
For a conference guest, that is the point: the meeting room is downstairs, the front desk never closes and the laundry does the shirts. Afralti Conference & Guest House suits a delegate, a business visitor with a car, or anyone whose day ends at the hotel bar. It does not suit a leisure stay, anyone planning to walk into the centre, or anyone who wants to step out and find the city. The distance is the deciding fact.

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.

06Questions
Where is Afralti Conference & Guest House?+
Off Waiyaki Way in Greater Nairobi, on a ridge of new concrete built around the car and the conference room. It is 7.53 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 95 minutes on foot in a direct line, so most people arrive and move about by vehicle rather than on foot.
What facilities does it have?+
The list is a working conference hotel's: 24 hour front desk, concierge, meeting room, restaurant, bars, free wifi, laundry, dry cleaning, luggage storage, a smoking area and wheelchair access. There is no pool, gym or spa, and no grounds to speak of, so plan your day around the meeting room or a car.
How far is it from the centre of Nairobi?+
It is 6.89 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. That makes the centre a trip rather than a walk, and after dark the area is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else.
How do I check availability?+
Availability is checked through app.impt.io when you book. If the property suits a working stay or a delegate's trip, book there. If it suits a holiday or a central base on foot, it does not, and you should look at the quarter pages for Upper Hill and the centre instead.
