A three star apartment and fitness address on Langata Road, out on the ridge in Greater Nairobi. The car park and the lift decide it: with a vehicle you are set, without one you are relying on rides for everything.
01What it is
Esterina Apartments & Fitness Place lists the practical things first: free wifi, free car parking, lifts and wheelchair access, plus laundry service and dry cleaning service for longer stays. That is the whole list. There is no restaurant, no bar, no gym equipment named despite the fitness name, and no airport transfer. The three star rating fits a property built around function rather than comfort, and the twelve photos on file are the only look you get before booking.
For a self driving visitor to Esterina Apartments & Fitness Place, that adds up to a workable base: park the car, use the lift, send the shirts out, and get online. The trade is location. The property sits in Greater Nairobi, not in the centre, 5.16 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 65 minutes on foot in a direct line, and 3.32 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. It suits business travellers with a car and a reason to be on this side of town. It does not suit anyone planning to walk to meetings or to spend the evening on foot.

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.
