A three star place on Othaya Road, up on a ridge in Greater Nairobi, with parking, a garden and lifts. The location decides it: you need a car or a shuttle for the centre, and the trade is quiet, practical and built around the conference room.
01What it is
Ashmere by Edmor Suites is a three star property on Othaya Road with twelve photos on file. The listed facilities group into the practical: parking and free car parking, lifts and wheelchair access, laundry service and a shuttle service. There is a fitness center and a garden. That is the whole list. There is no restaurant, no bar and no pool on the facilities sheet, so plan meals and evenings elsewhere. The garden and the fitness center are the only parts of the list that are not about getting to the building or moving inside it.
For a stay, Ashmere by Edmor Suites works as a base for someone here to work. You park, you use the lift, you use the garden between meetings. The distance matters: it sits 4.03 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers, and the street is new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room. The evenings are safe and dull, hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. It suits drivers, conference visitors and anyone with business on this side. It does not suit anyone who wants to walk out of a lobby into the centre of Nairobi.

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.
