A furnished studio on Alina Ridge in Kileleshwa, on the ridge above the city, with a kitchen, a washing machine and parking. The one thing that decides it: you need a car. Without one, this is a difficult place to stay.
01What it is
The Lovely Fully Furnished Studio Apartment In Kileleshwa With Unbeatable City Scenic Views is a three star property on Alina Ridge. The list runs to Balcony, Terrace, Garden and a Swimming pool, plus an Indoor pool, which is where the list is thinnest: an indoor pool and an outdoor swimming pool at one address is a facilities sheet, not a description. Inside you get a Kitchen, a Kitchenette and a Washing Machine, so self-catering and longer stays are the point. There is Free Wifi and Internet access, a TV and a Telephone, a Bathroom and WC, Slippers, Lifts and Wheelchair accessible access, and Free car parking within Parking.
For someone staying at the Lovely Fully Furnished Studio Apartment In Kileleshwa With Unbeatable City Scenic Views, that adds up to an apartment rather than a hotel: you cook, you wash clothes, you park, and you get on with your day. 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. It suits a business stay or a long self-catering stay with your own car, and it suits anyone who wants Kileleshwa calm close to the centre. It does not suit anyone 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 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.
