Greensville Nairobi is a 3 star apartment block on George Padmore Road in Greater Nairobi, east of the centre on a ridge built for cars and conferences. It lists a rooftop pool, a gym, a workspace, a children's play area and free parking, and the apartment kitchens decide whether it works for you.
01What it is
Greensville Nairobi is an apartment property on George Padmore Road, rated 3 star, and the list is longest where a self contained stay is concerned. You get a kitchen, kitchenette, oven, microwave, toaster, refrigerator and dishwasher, plus a washing machine, iron and board, and cleaning. Rooms carry air conditioning, a fan, a desk, a safe, a lounge, a balcony, a patio, a terrace, a garden, a TV, free wifi and internet access. Bathrooms list a shower, WC, bidet, bathrobe, hairdryer, slippers, toiletries and towels. There is a lift, and cots and high chairs for children. The list is thin on anything you would call service: no restaurant, no bar, no shuttle are named, and the pool, gym, workspace and play area are stated as facilities rather than described.
For a stay at Greensville Nairobi, that adds up to a self catering apartment with leisure attached, where you handle your own meals and your own washing. It suits a family with a car, a group booking several apartments, or someone in Nairobi for weeks rather than nights, and the free parking, lift and cots support that. It does not suit a visitor who wants to walk out into the centre for dinner: 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. The address is George Padmore Road in Greater Nairobi.

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.

Booking Greensville Nairobi means booking an apartment rather than a room, so check the kitchen and the sleeping layout before you confirm. 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.
