A self contained 3 star homestay in Lavington, on a ridge built for the car and the conference room. You get a kitchenette, parking and quiet. You do not get the centre at your door, so the one thing that decides this is whether you have a car or a driver.
01What it is
Evergreen Homestay is a 3 star property on Kirichwa River Court in Lavington, and its list reads like a flat let short: a kitchenette with a fridge and a microwave, an iron and board, a TV, a shower and toiletries. Breakfast, coffee and free bottled water cover the food basics, and free wifi, a reception area, room service and luggage storage cover the desk work. Free car parking is the real weight here. The list is thin on the things a hotel stay usually leans on: no restaurant is listed beyond breakfast, no gym, no pool, no airport transfer.
What that adds up to is a quiet, self sufficient stay at the northern edge of Greater Nairobi, where you keep your own hours and cook if you want to. Evergreen Homestay suits people in Lavington for a conference, a long posting or a family visit, and anyone with a car. It does not suit a first trip built around walking the centre. This is a residential ridge, not a quarter, and the site's own line is blunt: safe and dull, hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else.

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.

Book Evergreen Homestay when you want the ridge, the parking and your own kitchen rather than a lobby. 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.
Facts on this page come from the booking supplier's record: star class, address, photographs and facility list. Guest scores come from verified stays. Nobody from this site has stayed here; the quarter copy around it is this site's own.
