Hankim Homes is a four star apartment address on Tabere Crescent in Greater Nairobi, with its own kitchen, laundry and parking on site. The one thing that decides whether it suits you is whether you want a serviced flat and a car, rather than a hotel with the city at the door.
01What it is
Hankim Homes lists apartments rather than rooms, and the kitchen is the centre of it: oven, microwave, refrigerator, toaster and a washing machine sit alongside a kitchenette. You get free wifi, free car parking, lifts, a garden, a terrace and a playground, plus a restaurant and a bar or snack counter. Rooms are non smoking, with a desk, a fan, a TV, towels, toiletries, a hairdryer, an iron and board, slippers, a bidet and a smoke detector.
At four stars with a grounds and a laundry, Hankim Homes works as a base for a family or a group who want to cook and park, and for anyone on business in the conference offices along this ridge. It does not suit a visitor who wants the centre on foot: you are 3.42 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 43 minutes on foot in a direct line, and after dark the area is safe and dull, hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. Take Hankim Homes if you have a car or a driver; skip it if you want to step out of a lobby into the city.

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.
