Eastland Hotel is a four star property on Ring Road in Kilimani, on the greater Nairobi ridge. Its list of facilities is long, and what decides whether it suits you is the same thing that decides everything here: it is built for the car and the conference room, with the centre a short ride away.
01What it is
Eastland Hotel lists a full spread: several restaurants and bars, including a bar and snack cafe, buffet service and a pool bar, plus breakfast and breakfast in room for a quieter start. Above that sit a spa, massage, fitness centre, casino and karaoke, with a terrace, concierge, currency exchange, car rental and both free and valet parking. Rooms run from standard through family, and include bathrobe, slippers, safe, minibar, coffee, desk and free wifi. Where the list is thin is anything distinctive: it is a long, conventional four star inventory rather than a place with a character of its own.
For the right visitor, that conventional spread is the point. Eastland Hotel works if you are in Nairobi to work, need a desk, reliable internet, laundry and dry cleaning, banquet and copy facilities, and a car to move between meetings. It also suits families needing family rooms and guests who want the spa, gym and casino under one roof. It does not suit someone who wants to walk out of the door into the centre of the city, and it does not suit a leisure visitor chasing character over comfort.

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.

How do I get into the city centre from here?+
Kilimani sits 2.63 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. The centre itself is across the ridge. You should plan on a car or a shuttle rather than a walk, and the site's own line for the area after dark is that it is safe and dull, with hotel bars and a ride anywhere else.
What does the guest score mean?+
Eastland Hotel shows 4.1 out of 5 from 1125 reviews. That is a solid, consistent guest score rather than an exceptional one, and it tells you the property delivers its four star inventory dependably. It is not a signal that the hotel is unique or that the location will suit you.
