A four star property on Othaya Road in Lavington, built around the car and the quiet evening: parking, a pool, a garden and family rooms. It decides for you on one point, it sits 5.06 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 64 minutes on foot in a direct line, so you want a vehicle or a shuttle for anything in the centre.
01What it is
Edmor Lite by Edmor Suites is a four star property on Othaya Road in Lavington, and its listed facilities are the facilities of a serviced apartment block rather than a hotel: a kitchen, a bathroom with shower, WC and slippers, a minibar, a safe, an iron and board, a TV, lifts, non smoking rooms and a smoking area. On top of that come the services, 24H security, security features, a smoke detector, first aid, cleaning, laundry, dry cleaning, express check in, free wifi and internet access. Outside there is free car parking and parking, a garden, a playground, an outdoor pool and a fitness center, plus a market and a shuttle service. The list is thin on eating and drinking: no restaurant, no bar and no breakfast are named, so plan on the kitchen or on Lavington.
What that adds up to for a stay at Edmor Lite by Edmor Suites is a quiet, self contained base on the ridge, where the day is yours to arrange and the property mostly stays out of the way. The street feel is new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room, and after dark it is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. That suits families, self drivers and anyone in Nairobi for work with a car and a schedule outside the centre. It does not suit a visitor who wants to step out of the lobby into the city: the property is 3.89 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers, and the centre is a drive, not a stroll.

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.
