A three star apartment on Kikambala Rd, on the new concrete ridge in Greater Nairobi. Parking, lifts and a shuttle are the point of it. The one thing that decides whether it suits you is whether you have a car, or a reason to be on this ridge rather than in the centre.
01What it is
Kileleshwa View Palace Apartment lists free car parking, parking and a shuttle service, so the property is built around arriving by vehicle. It also lists lifts and wheelchair accessible access, which matters if stairs are a problem, plus cleaning and a fitness center. The list is thin on the ordinary things a visitor asks about first: there is no restaurant or bar named, no breakfast, no laundry, no desk described. A casino appears on the list, which tells you who the building expects. Twelve photos are on file.
What that adds up to is a place for someone with a car and a reason to be in this part of Greater Nairobi: a conference, a long stay, a base that does not depend on the centre. Kileleshwa View Palace Apartment is a poor fit if you want to walk out to dinner, because the street is new concrete built for the car and the conference room, and after dark it is safe and dull, with hotel bars and a ride anywhere else. It suits drivers and conference visitors, not people who want the centre on foot.

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.

If you are booking Kileleshwa View Palace Apartment, decide first how you will get around this ridge, because the car and the shuttle are what make the address work. 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.
