A three star apartment block on Argwings Kodhek Road, in the new concrete ridge country south of the centre. Parking, lifts and step-free access are the whole of the offer. It suits you if you are driving in for work nearby; it does not if you want the centre on foot.
01What it is
Lux Suites City Oasis Apartments lists four things: free car parking, lifts, a shuttle service and wheelchair access. The parking and the lifts are what matter most here, because the building sits in car country and the lifts make upper floors usable for anyone who cannot take stairs. Wheelchair access is listed plainly, which is worth more than it sounds when so many small Nairobi blocks say nothing either way. The shuttle covers the gap between the building and wherever you are actually going. Beyond that the list is thin: no restaurant, no gym, no pool, no workspace, nothing about the rooms themselves, and twelve photographs on file to judge the rest.
What this adds up to is a place built around arrival and departure by vehicle rather than around the building. Lux Suites City Oasis Apartments gives you a base on Argwings Kodhek Road with your car parked and a lift to your floor, in a quarter of new concrete and conference rooms. The street itself is safe and dull after dark: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. That is the honest trade. It suits a work trip, a hospital or conference visit, or anyone with a car and business on this side of the city. It does not suit a first visit built around walking the centre.

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.

Book Lux Suites City Oasis Apartments if your plans run on four wheels rather than two feet, because the parking and the shuttle are the reason to be here. 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 Lux Suites City Oasis Apartments?+
On Argwings Kodhek Road in Greater Nairobi, on the ridge country south of the centre. It is 5.75 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 72 minutes on foot in a direct line, and 4.32 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers.
What does the property actually provide?+
Four listed facilities: free car parking, lifts, a shuttle service and wheelchair access. There is no restaurant, gym or pool listed, and nothing said about the rooms. Treat the parking and lift as the real offer and plan to eat and work elsewhere, or confirm anything else with the property before you commit.
What is the area like after dark?+
Safe and dull. Hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. The ridge is built for the car and the conference room, so evenings are quiet and you should expect to take a vehicle for dinner or anything else. That suits some stays and bores others; decide which before you book.
How do I check availability for my dates?+
Use the booking link on this page to enter your dates at Lux Suites City Oasis Apartments and see which rooms are open. Free cancellation applies to most rooms, so you can hold a booking while you settle your plans and release it if the trip changes.
