A three bed, four bath condo in Vesta Garden Apartments off Ngong Road, in Greater Nairobi rather than the centre. The space, the pool and the parking decide it: it suits groups and families with their own transport, and it does not suit anyone who wants to step out of the door into the city centre.
01What it is
Luxurious 3 Bed 4 Bath Condo is a four star apartment in Vesta Garden Apartments on Ngong Road, in Greater Nairobi. The list is built around a self contained stay: three bedrooms and four bathrooms, air conditioning, family rooms, non smoking rooms, lifts, free wifi and a safe. Outside there is a garden, an outdoor pool, a fitness centre and free car parking, with 24 hour security and security features on site. Laundry service and express check in are listed. The list is thin on the everyday: bars appear with no restaurant, no kitchen detail and no reception hours, and nothing is said about how the apartment is serviced.
For someone staying here, that adds up to a base that works when the day is planned around the car and the conference room. The street is new concrete on a ridge, and after dark it is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. Luxurious 3 Bed 4 Bath Condo suits a family or a group who want separate bedrooms and bathrooms, a pool at the end of the day and parking that is not a negotiation. It does not suit a solo visitor who wants to walk out into the centre in the evening, or anyone who wants the city on the doorstep.

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 this one for the space and the pool, and check the apartment details before you commit, since the facilities list is thin on what is inside the unit. 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.
