A four star guesthouse on a Greater Nairobi ridge, built for people with a car. The kitchenette and the washing machine are what decide it: good for a longer stay on your own schedule, wrong if you want to walk into the centre.
01What it is
Loresho Guesthouse lists the practical rather than the decorative. Every room has a bathroom and a TV, there is free wifi and internet access across the property, and the rooms are non smoking. The kitchenette and the washing machine are the two entries that matter most: together they make a stay of several days workable rather than a run of restaurant meals. Free car parking and parking are listed, which matches the street the property sits on. The list is thin on the things a hotel usually advertises. There is no restaurant, no bar, no gym, no meeting room and no airport transfer, so what you see here is close to what you get. Twelve photographs are on file.
Loresho Guesthouse is a self contained base in Greater Nairobi rather than a place to step out of and into the city. You cook, you wash, you park, you drive. The setting 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. That combination suits a longer stay, a work trip with a vehicle, or anyone who wants a quiet room and does not mind getting everywhere by car. It does not suit a short city break on foot, and it does not suit anyone who wants the centre on the doorstep.

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 a long way out, in the wider city, and Upper Hill and Community is only the nearest of the ten quarters to them, which is not the same as being in it. Treat the quarter as a reference point, not an address. Anything you want in the CBD means travelling in and out.
The quarter itself is the western ridge above the centre: new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room. It is not the CBD proper but the ridge immediately above it, and the place most of the CBD's office space has been moving to since the 2000s: 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 lies 1.9 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 24 minutes on foot in a direct line.
