These are self-catering apartments on Kingara Road, in Greater Nairobi rather than the centre, with parking, kitchens and laundry space. The car decides this one. If you have one, the distance is manageable; if you do not, it is the wrong side of town.
01What it is
Lux Suites Oasis of Peace Apartments is a three star apartment block on Kingara Road in Greater Nairobi. The list is almost entirely about living in rather than staying: a kitchen or kitchenette in the apartments, a refrigerator, microwave, washing machine, iron and board, towels and toiletries, and a bathroom with shower, WC and bidet. There are family rooms, non smoking rooms, lifts, free wifi and free car parking, and outside a balcony, patio, terrace and garden. What is missing is the hotel apparatus: no restaurant, no bar, no gym, nothing to fill an evening on site.
What that adds up to is a self-contained flat with a parking space in a part of the city built for the car and the conference room. Lux Suites Oasis of Peace Apartments suits people who are driving, staying more than a night or two, or travelling as a family that wants to cook and do laundry. It does not suit anyone on foot, anyone without a car, or anyone who wants the centre, the quarter or a choice of places to eat within reach. The distance is real, not a detail.

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 this one if you have a car and want a kitchen rather than a lobby. 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 Lux Suites Oasis of Peace Apartments?+
On Kingara Road, in Greater Nairobi. It is 6.96 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 87 minutes on foot in a direct line, and 5.52 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. Treat both as driving distances.
Is there parking, and do I need a car here?+
There is free car parking on site. Whether you need a car depends on what you are here for. The street is built for the car and the conference room, and getting anywhere else means a ride, so arriving without one leaves you dependent on taxis for everything.
What is in the apartments?+
A kitchen or kitchenette with a refrigerator and microwave, a washing machine, an iron and board, towels and toiletries, and a bathroom with shower, WC and bidet. There are family and non smoking rooms, lifts, free wifi, and a balcony, patio, terrace or garden depending on the unit.
How do I check availability?+
Availability and free cancellation are shown when you book through app.impt.io. Look at the dates you need, confirm the room, and the carbon and credit terms are applied to that booking automatically rather than added afterwards.
