Lux Suites Teshana Apartments Kileleshwa is a three star apartment block on the Othaya Road ridge, five kilometres out from the centre. Parking, lifts, a pool and towels and sheets are the whole of the offer. If you are here for the conference room and you are driving, it works. If you came to walk the city, it does not.
01What it is
Lux Suites Teshana Apartments Kileleshwa is a three star apartment block with a short and practical facility list. Free car parking, lifts, an outdoor pool, wheelchair access, sheets and towels and a shuttle service. That covers the mechanics of a stay: a space for the car, a way up to the room, a way to swim, and linen already in place. Where the list is thin is everything else. There is no restaurant, no bar and no gym, so the room is a base rather than a place you spend the evening.
What that adds up to at Lux Suites Teshana Apartments Kileleshwa is a self-contained block on a ridge built for the car and the conference room. You drive in, park, take the lift, and the pool is there at the end of the day. It suits people in Nairobi for work who have a car and want distance from the centre without leaving the city. It does not suit anyone on foot, anyone without a vehicle, or anyone who wants to step outside into street life in the evening.

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.

06Questions
Where exactly is Lux Suites Teshana Apartments Kileleshwa?+
It is on Othaya Rd, in the Kileleshwa part of Greater Nairobi. That places it 5.06 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 64 minutes on foot in a direct line, and 3.89 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers.
What does the hotel actually have on site?+
The listed facilities are free car parking, lifts, an outdoor pool, sheets, towels, a shuttle service and wheelchair access. There is no restaurant or bar, so plan to eat elsewhere. The pool and the parking are the two items most guests would notice.
Can I get into the centre without a car?+
A shuttle service is on the list, so ask what it covers before you rely on it. The street itself is built for the car and the conference room, and after dark it means hotel bars and a ride anywhere else. Counting on walking to the centre is not realistic.
How do I check availability for my dates?+
Availability and free cancellation on most rooms are handled through app.impt.io, which is where the booking is made. Check your dates there before you commit. The site holds no rates, so the app is the place to look.
