A two bedroom serviced apartment on a new ridge in Greater Nairobi, with a pool, a gym and parking. The thing that decides whether it is right for you is a car: this is not a quarter you walk out of in the evening.
01What it is
Modern luxe 2 BED Apt with pool & Gym is a four star apartment at Urban Oasis Apartments, second floor, apartment 203. The list is long on self catering and building services: kitchen, washing machine, iron and board, housekeeping and cleaning, laundry and dry cleaning, room service, safe, desk, air conditioning, balcony, terrace and garden. There is free wifi, free car parking and a 24 hour front desk with 24H security, smoke detectors and first aid. You also get an indoor pool, a swimming pool, a gym, bars and breakfast. Where the list thins out is food and drink beyond the bar and breakfast, and anything you would call a neighbourhood.
What Modern luxe 2 BED Apt with pool & Gym adds up to is a quiet, car based base in Greater Nairobi, not a central one. The street feel there is new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room, and after dark it is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. Upper Hill and Community is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers, and Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue is 6.96 km away, which is 87 minutes on foot in a direct line. Suits drivers, longer stays and people working nearby. Does not suit anyone who wants to step out into the centre.

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 Modern luxe 2 BED Apt with pool & Gym the way you would book any apartment: confirm the dates and the apartment number first, because a two bedroom unit is not always free. 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.
