A four star apartment style property on Kangundo Road in Greater Nairobi, with a pool and gym. It suits self drivers and longer stays, and does not suit anyone who wants to walk out of the door into the centre.
01What it is
Modern Retreat Residencies With Amazing Breathtaking City Views Heated Swimming Pool Gym Private Ample Parking Space Which Offers A Luxurious Living Lifestyle is a four star property on Kangundo Road in Greater Nairobi. The listed facilities group into three: parking, both free car parking and parking plainly; outdoor space, a swimming pool, a balcony and a terrace; and the workings of a flat, a kitchen, a kitchenette, a bathroom, a TV and a washing machine. The list is thin where a hotel usually earns its stars. No restaurant, no bar, no room service, no gym appears here, however the name reads, and the bathrooms are listed without any detail about what is in them. Twelve photos are on file, so the look of the place can be checked before booking.
What that adds up to is a self contained flat on a ridge, and the deciding fact is the car. Kangundo Road is 2.8 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. The street 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. Modern Retreat Residencies With Amazing Breathtaking City Views Heated Swimming Pool Gym Private Ample Parking Space Which Offers A Luxurious Living Lifestyle suits a driver, a family or a long stay that wants a kitchen and a washing machine. It does not suit anyone without a car who wants the centre 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 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 this property in Nairobi?+
It is on Kangundo Road in Greater Nairobi, at 3.52 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 44 minutes on foot in a direct line. That puts it outside the centre, on a ridge built for the car and the conference room. The site covers ten quarters of the city, and this is nearest to Upper Hill.
What facilities does the property list?+
A swimming pool, a balcony, a terrace, free car parking and parking, a kitchen, a kitchenette, a bathroom, a TV and a washing machine. Those come under a four star rating. The list has no restaurant, no bar and no room service, so plan to cook or drive out for meals rather than eat in.
How do I get into the centre from Greater Nairobi?+
You arrange it. The street is built for the car, and after dark the honest picture is hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. Upper Hill and Community is the nearest quarter this site covers, and it is not a stroll from the door. A car, your own or hired, decides how the stay works.
How do I check availability and book?+
Availability and booking are handled through app.impt.io, where you can see which rooms can be cancelled free. Book once you are settled on transport, since the property sits on Kangundo Road rather than in the centre, and a car changes the whole calculation. Twelve photos are on file there.
