A four star apartment block on Dennis Pritt Road, on the new concrete ridge above the city centre. The list runs to pools, a spa, a garden and parking, which decides it: this is a place for people with a car and a reason to be in the conference belt, not for anyone who wants to walk out into the centre.
01What it is
Crestpark Apartments lists the full leisure set: an outdoor pool and a separate kids pool, a spa, a garden with a picnic area and a terrace. Inside there are lifts and wheelchair access, free car parking, multilingual staff, and a casino on the property. The four star rating is consistent with that spread of facilities. What the list does not carry is anything about the rooms themselves, nothing on dining beyond the casino floor, and nothing on laundry, airport transfer or a shuttle. That is the thin part, and it matters because the address is built for the car rather than the walker.
For someone staying at Crestpark Apartments, the shape of the day is set by the location. The property sits in Greater Nairobi, 3.32 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 42 minutes on foot in a direct line, and 2.28 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. The street feel there is new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room, and after dark it is safe and dull, with hotel bars and a ride anywhere else. That suits a business traveller with a vehicle, a family using the pools and garden, or anyone in the city for a conference on the ridge. It does not suit a visitor who wants to step out of the lobby into the restaurants and streets of 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 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 Crestpark Apartments if the ridge location and the pool and spa facilities are what you need, and check the room type carefully since the facility list says nothing about them. 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.
