A three star apartment block on Ole Dume Road, on a ridge of new concrete built for the car and the conference room. The deciding fact is the location: Greater Nairobi, 4.06 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. Suit a self driving working stay; not a walkable city break.
01What it is
Lux Suites Valley Heights Apartments is a three star apartment property on Ole Dume Road in Greater Nairobi. The listed facilities are practical rather than generous: free car parking, lifts, a shuttle service and wheelchair access cover arrival, movement between floors and getting out again, while sheets and towels are the only in room items named. Entertainment activities are listed without detail. There is no restaurant, no bar, no gym and no pool on the list, so plan to eat and spend evenings elsewhere. Twelve photos are on file if you want to see the rooms before deciding.
What that adds up to at Lux Suites Valley Heights Apartments is a base for someone with a car and a reason to be in this part of the city, not a place to spend a day. The parking, the lifts and the shuttle make arrivals and departures straightforward, and wheelchair access widens who can use the building. It suits a working stay, a conference visit or a family with its own transport. It does not suit anyone hoping to walk to the centre, and it does not suit anyone who wants the hotel itself to be the evening: the area is safe and dull, with hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else.

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.

It sits on Ole Dume Road in Greater Nairobi, on a ridge of new concrete built for the car and the conference room. It is 5.42 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 68 minutes on foot in a direct line, so treat it as a driving address rather than a walking one.
What does the property list for guests?+
Free car parking, lifts, a shuttle service, wheelchair access, sheets and towels, plus entertainment activities. That covers parking and movement through the building, but there is no restaurant, bar, gym or pool on the list, so meals and evenings happen elsewhere. Twelve photos are on file.
Can you walk from the property into the centre?+
The distance is 5.42 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 68 minutes on foot in a direct line, so walking is possible but not the point of staying here. The area is safe and dull after dark, with hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else.
How do you check availability for Lux Suites Valley Heights Apartments?+
Availability and room types are shown on app.impt.io, where you can see what is open for your dates and confirm a room. The property lists a shuttle service, so ask about it when you check, along with parking, since both matter for this location.
