Mizuki is a four star apartment address on Gatundu Close in Greater Nairobi, close to the ridge's new concrete and the conference rooms on it. It is a self-catering base with a pool and a kitchen, set for the car, and weaker on the walk out at night. That pairing decides whether it is right for you.
01What it is
Mizuki is a four star apartment property at Gatundu Close Sepal Gardens 305, in Greater Nairobi rather than the centre, and the room lists read as self-catering: a kitchen, oven, microwave, refrigerator, toaster, washing machine, iron and board, plus a bathroom with shower, WC, hairdryer, towels and toiletries. Air conditioning, a fan, a desk, a TV, coffee, a safe and wifi are all listed, with housekeeping, cleaning and laundry services, non smoking rooms, lifts and 24 hour security.
The wider list is where it thins and where it misleads. An outdoor pool, fitness centre, steam room, games room, table tennis and bowling are all on file, along with a night club, car rental and a shuttle service. Horse back riding is listed too, which tells you the supplier's list is global and loose, and the address is landlocked high country. The reliable core at Mizuki is the apartment itself: a walled, guarded, self-catering flat on a ridge built for the car, with the city reachable by vehicle rather than on foot.

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 Mizuki as an apartment base if you want a kitchen and a guarded compound more than you want to step out of the door into the centre. 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.
