Golden Mango Heights is a four star serviced apartment block on Wood Avenue in Greater Nairobi, on a ridge of new concrete built for the car and the conference room. The deciding fact is the kitchen and the free parking: you cook for yourself and you drive yourself, and the centre is not on your doorstep.
01What it is
Golden Mango Heights lists apartments rather than rooms, and the facilities follow that: a kitchen and kitchenette with oven, microwave and refrigerator, a washing machine, an iron and board, air conditioning, free wifi and internet access, a desk, a TV, a bath and shower, towels, toiletries, a hairdryer and slippers. There are lifts, non smoking rooms, wheelchair access, free car parking, and a balcony or patio. Pets are allowed. The list is thinner than it looks: it names no restaurant, no bar, no gym and no airport transfer, and the sauna and spa are the only leisure entries. Twelve photographs are on file.
For someone staying at Golden Mango Heights, the package is self sufficiency on a car oriented ridge: you park free, you cook, you wash your own clothes, and you take a lift to a carpeted apartment with air conditioning and a desk. It suits a driver, a family, or a longer stay where a kitchen matters more than a lobby. It does not suit anyone on foot who wants the centre at the door, and the evenings are quiet: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. Check the apartment grade before you commit.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels are not in Upper Hill and Community, and they are not in any of the ten quarters this site covers. They sit just outside the ten quarters, on the edge of the centre, and Upper Hill and Community is only the nearest of the ten. That puts you in the wider city rather than in the grid itself, so anything in the CBD means travelling in and out rather than stepping out of a lobby into it.
The ridge above the centre is new concrete, built for the car and the conference room: the tallest towers in the country, the big hospitals, the aid agencies, and an expressway ramp to the airport. It is best for meetings, a quiet night close in, and a fast run to the airport, and after dark it is safe and dull, hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. The quarter sits 1.9 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 24 minutes on foot in a direct line, though that is the quarter's own distance and not a walk from these hotels.

Golden Mango Heights is an apartment block rather than a hotel, so book the grade of apartment you actually want and confirm the kitchen and parking are included before you pay. 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.
