A 3 star suite block on Kindaruma Road, in Greater Nairobi rather than the centre, set up for people arriving by car. The outdoor pool, free parking and round the clock desk are what decide it. If you want to walk to meetings, look elsewhere.
01What it is
Meltonia Luxury Suites lists the practical spine of a business address: a 24 hour front desk, concierge, bell boy, luggage storage and a safe, plus free wifi, free car parking and an outdoor pool on site. There are restaurant and bar facilities, a smoking area, and laundry and dry cleaning services if you are staying more than a night or two. The list is thin in two places. It notes a surcharge without saying what for, and it says nothing about room types, beds or airport transfers.
What that adds up to is a place for someone with a car and a reason to be in this part of Greater Nairobi rather than in the centre. Meltonia Luxury Suites is 3.49 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 44 minutes on foot in a direct line, and the street it sits on is new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room. Book it if you are driving and want parking, a pool and a desk that never closes. Do not book it if your day is built around walking into the Central Business District. The nearest covered quarter is Upper Hill 1.79 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers, and after dark the area is safe and dull: 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 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.

06Questions
Where is Meltonia Luxury Suites?+
It is on Kindaruma Road in Greater Nairobi, outside the Central Business District rather than in it. The measured position is 3.49 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 44 minutes on foot in a direct line, so treat it as a base you drive to and from.
What does the hotel list?+
A 24 hour front desk, bell boy, concierge, luggage storage and a safe, with free wifi and free car parking. There is an outdoor pool, restaurant facilities, a smoking area, laundry and dry cleaning. One listed item is a surcharge, with no detail on what triggers it.
Can I walk into the centre from here?+
It is possible on paper and poor in practice. The site measures it at 3.49 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 44 minutes on foot in a direct line, on a ridge built for the car and the conference room. If walking into meetings is the point of your trip, this is the wrong side of town.
How do I check availability?+
Use the booking link on this page, where live room availability for Meltonia Luxury Suites is shown. You confirm the dates and room there rather than by phone or email, and most rooms can be cancelled free if your plans change after you have booked.
