A four star serviced apartment block on Othaya Road in Kileleshwa, with a gym and a pool, set on a ridge where the car decides everything. It suits a longer stay by people who want a kitchen and a secure compound. It does not suit anyone who wants the centre on foot.
01What it is
Hesos Suite Kileleshwa Nairobi Gym Pool is a four star apartment property at Othaya Road Nandwa Ivy Residence, and the list of what it includes is long. Apartments come with a kitchen and kitchenette, a microwave, a refrigerator, a minibar, a desk, a safe, a TV, a shower, a WC, toiletries and towels, with balcony and terrace options, carpeting in some units and air conditioning throughout. The grounds carry an outdoor pool and a swimming pool, a fitness centre, aerobics, a garden, a playground, a garage and free car parking. There is 24 hour security and security features, smoke detectors, first aid, lifts, free wifi, a business centre, laundry service, express check in, family rooms, non smoking rooms and wheelchair access.
What that adds up to at Hesos Suite Kileleshwa Nairobi Gym Pool is a self contained stay rather than a room in the centre. The kitchen and the laundry service matter most if you are here for more than a few nights, and the parking and garage matter most if you have a car, which in Kileleshwa you should assume you need. The street feel 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. It suits longer stays, families and people working on this side of the city. It does not suit a short visit built around the centre.

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.
