Luced Homes is a four star apartment block on Tabere Lane off Kangundo Road, reached by a tall lift and arranged for people who want a kitchen, a washing machine and parking rather than a lobby. What decides it is whether you have a car and a reason to be on this ridge rather than in the centre.
01What it is
Luced Homes lists self-contained apartments rather than hotel rooms: a kitchen with oven, microwave, refrigerator and toaster, a washing machine, iron and board, a bathroom with shower, WC, towels and toiletries, and a balcony or terrace onto a garden. The building covers the practical side well. There is free wifi, free car parking, 24 hour security, lifts, a safe, smoke detectors, a desk, a computer room, high chairs, non smoking rooms, wheelchair access, a television and a sofa bed. Cleaning and laundry are services here rather than things you arrange yourself. The list is thin where a hotel normally leads: no restaurant, no bar, no gym, no airport transfer, and no stated reception desk, which matters if you expect to arrive late with questions.
For someone staying a week on this ridge, Luced Homes does what an apartment should: you cook, you wash clothes, you park the car under the building and you sleep behind a guarded entrance. The terrace, garden and lift make it workable for families and for anyone with reduced mobility, and the computer room plus free wifi covers a working stay. It does not suit you if you want the centre on foot, a bar downstairs, or a concierge. The street feel there is new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room, which is exactly the kind of address this block was designed for.

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 Luced Homes directly if your dates are firm, since an apartment block with a washing machine and parking fills faster than the room count suggests. 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.
Facts on this page come from the booking supplier's record: star class, address, photographs and facility list. Guest scores come from verified stays. Nobody from this site has stayed here; the quarter copy around it is this site's own.
06Questions
Where exactly is Luced Homes in Nairobi?+
It is on Tabere Lane off Kangundo Road, on the Alina Ridge building's ninth floor, in Greater Nairobi. The address is 3.5 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 44 minutes on foot in a direct line, and 2.84 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. Most people arrive by car.
What do the apartments at Luced Homes include?+
Each apartment is self-contained, with a kitchen, oven, microwave, refrigerator, toaster, washing machine, iron and board, bathroom with shower and WC, towels and toiletries, and a balcony or terrace. The building offers free wifi, free car parking, 24 hour security, lifts, a safe, a computer room and non smoking rooms. There is no restaurant or bar on the list.
Can I stay at Luced Homes without a car?+
It is possible but awkward. The block sits on a ridge built around car access, and after dark the area is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. If your days are in the centre or Upper Hill, plan on rides rather than walking. With a car, the free parking makes the location workable.
How do I check availability at Luced Homes?+
Availability and dates are handled through app.impt.io, which is where the booking runs. You can see what is open for your nights there and confirm in the same place. Because the property is an apartment block rather than a large hotel, the practical step is to check your dates early and book once your plans are set.
