Hillview Apartment is a three star address on Maimahiu Road in Nairobi West, with free car parking and a smoking area, and that is the whole of the listed offer. Its position on the ridge decides the stay: 3.12 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 39 minutes on foot in a direct line.
01What it is
Hillview Apartment is a three star property on Maimahiu Road in Nairobi West, in Greater Nairobi. The listed facilities are short: free car parking, and a smoking area. There is no restaurant, no bar, no pool, no gym, no airport shuttle and no business centre on the list. Twelve photographs are on file for the property, which is enough to show the rooms and the outside, and not enough to tell you much beyond that. A car space is the item a driver will care about most here. The smoking area is the second, and it is the only shared space the property names. Treat the list as thin and ask directly about anything you need that is not on it.
For the right visitor, Hillview Apartment does one job well. It is a place to park a car and sleep, in a part of the city built on a ridge where the streets are new concrete and the traffic is the point. If your days are in Nairobi West, or you are driving to meetings and want your own space at the end of them, the lack of a restaurant or a bar is a detail rather than a problem. If you are on foot, or you want dinner and a drink downstairs, it does not suit you. The quarter is a daytime one, and after dark the honest description is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else.

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.

Book Hillview Apartment only after confirming that free parking is available for your dates, because that space is the main reason to choose it over anything else nearby. 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.

06Questions
Where exactly is Hillview Apartment?+
It is on Maimahiu Road in Nairobi West, inside Greater Nairobi. That places it 2.02 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers, and 3.12 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 39 minutes on foot in a direct line.
What facilities does the property list?+
Two: free car parking and a smoking area. There is no restaurant, bar, pool or gym on the list, and no meeting space. If you need any of those, ask the property before booking rather than assuming they exist. The parking is the item most visitors will use.
How do I get into the centre of Nairobi from here?+
You are in Greater Nairobi, not in the central business district, and the street is built for the car. Plan on a vehicle rather than a walk for the centre and for anything after dark. The quarter is a daytime one, the halls shut in the late afternoon.
How do I check whether Hillview Apartment has rooms for my dates?+
Use the booking link on this page and enter your dates. Availability is confirmed at the moment you book, and most rooms can be cancelled free. If you need parking or a smoking area specifically, say so when you book so the property can confirm it.
