An executive one bed apartment with a balcony on Gitanga Road, in Greater Nairobi rather than the centre. It is a four star property with a gym, a kitchen, free parking, and the everyday machinery of a serviced apartment: lifts, laundry, security, air conditioning. The decision here is a car, not a room. Without one, this address is a base you leave by taxi. With one, it works.
01What it is
The Executive one bed with balcony GYM NETFLIX is a four star apartment on Gitanga Road in Greater Nairobi, so the core of what it lists is an apartment rather than a hotel room: a kitchen with a microwave and refrigerator, a bath and a shower, towels and toiletries, a desk, air conditioning, a fan, and a balcony or patio or terrace to sit out on. Around that sit the services you would expect at this level: free wifi, free car parking, lifts, 24 hour security with smoke detectors, cleaning, room service, laundry and dry cleaning, a restaurant and a bar, and a safe. The thin part is everything else. The name promises a gym and Netflix and the listed facilities do not name either one, so treat both as unconfirmed and ask before you rely on them. There is no guest score on file, so nothing here tells you how past stays went.
What that adds up to for someone staying at the Executive one bed with balcony GYM NETFLIX depends almost entirely on how you move around. The address is in Greater Nairobi, on a ridge of new concrete built for the car and the conference room, and after dark the honest description is hotel bars and a ride anywhere else. The property gives you free parking and 24 hour security, which is exactly what that kind of address needs. If you are in Nairobi for a conference or a longer stay and you have a car or a driver, the space, the kitchen and the laundry service make this a sensible base. If you want to step out of a lobby into the centre on foot, it is the wrong address: it is 4.05 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers, and 5.41 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 68 minutes on foot in a direct line.

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.

You are booking an apartment rather than a room, so ask about the gym and the Netflix when you confirm, since the facility list does not mention either. 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.

What is listed covers the apartment itself, with a kitchen, microwave, refrigerator, bath, air conditioning and balcony, plus free wifi, free car parking, lifts, security and a restaurant.
