A three star suite block on Nairobi Dam II, 3.3 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. The car and the conference room come first here. If you want to walk out of a lobby into the centre of Nairobi, this is the wrong side of the city. If you arrive by car and your days are booked, it does the job.
01What it is
Esterina Suites is a three star address on Nairobi Dam II, in Greater Nairobi rather than in the centre itself. The facilities it lists are practical ones: a fitness center, free car parking, laundry service, multilingual staff, a smoking area and water. There is no restaurant, no bar and no meeting room on that list, and no airport transfer, so the list is thin on the things a visitor tends to ask about first. What it does cover, it covers for the driver: park on site, train, send out laundry, and deal with staff who can help in more than one language.
What that adds up to is a place built around arrival by car. The street 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. So Esterina Suites suits someone with a vehicle, a reason to be in this part of Greater Nairobi and no plan to spend the evening on foot. It does not suit anyone who wants the Central Business District at the door, or who expects to walk out to dinner and back.

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.
