A four star apartment block on Othaya Rd in Kileleshwa, on the new concrete ridge where Nairobi builds for the car and the conference room. It suits you if you are arriving with a vehicle and leaving by one. It does not suit you if you want to walk out of the door and into the centre.
01What it is
Casa Misa Kileleshwa Apartment lists free wifi, free car parking, housekeeping, parking and wheelchair access, and carries a four star rating. The parking entry appears twice in the list, which tells you what the property thinks its main draw is, and it is right: this is a place you arrive at and leave from by car. Wifi is free and housekeeping is included, so the working basics are covered. Beyond that the list is thin. There is no restaurant, no bar, no gym, no pool and no airport transfer named, and nothing here claims a view, a garden or a lobby worth sitting in.
What that adds up to is an apartment rather than a hotel, in a part of Greater Nairobi built for the car and the conference room. Casa Misa Kileleshwa Apartment sits 4.14 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers, so the business district to the south is reachable and the centre is not on foot. Daytime is work; after dark it is hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. Book it if you want quiet, parking and wifi, and accept that every evening out starts with a car. Do not book it if you want the city within walking distance.

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.

Book Casa Misa Kileleshwa Apartment if your day is planned around a car and you want the parking and wifi settled before you arrive rather than argued about at the desk. 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.
