Crest Park Apartments is a three star block on Denis Pritt Rd in Greater Nairobi, on new concrete built for the car and the conference room. The pools, the parking and the garden decide it: book here if you are driving and travelling as a group, and look at Upper Hill instead if you want the centre on foot.
01What it is
Crest Park Apartments lists the full set for a self-contained stay: free Wifi, free car parking, housekeeping and laundry service, lifts, a lounge and luggage storage. Outside there is a garden, a terrace, a picnic area and a smoking area, with two pools, one of them a kids pool, plus shops on site. The list is thin exactly where a central hotel is strong: no restaurant, no bar, no gym and no meeting rooms, so you eat out or cook in.
What that adds up to is a place for people who arrive with a vehicle and a plan. Crest Park Apartments suits families, longer stays and anyone in town for a conference on the ridge, where the parking, the kids pool and the laundry do the work. It does not suit anyone who wants the Central Business District on foot or an evening that starts downstairs. The address is 3.92 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 49 minutes on foot in a direct line.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels are not in Upper Hill and Community, and they are not in any of the ten quarters this site covers. They sit just outside the ten quarters, on the edge of the centre, and Upper Hill and Community is only the nearest of the ten. That puts you in the wider city rather than in the grid itself, so anything in the CBD means travelling in and out rather than stepping out of a lobby into it.
The ridge above the centre is new concrete, built for the car and the conference room: 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 sits 1.9 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 24 minutes on foot in a direct line, though that is the quarter's own distance and not a walk from these hotels.

Book Crest Park Apartments if you want the ridge address and the parking space rather than a room in the middle of the city, and check availability before you commit to the trip. 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.
