Osoita Lodge sits on Nazarene University Road in Greater Nairobi, thirteen kilometres out from the centre and built for the car and the conference room. A pool, a spa and a shuttle decide whether it is right for you. It suits guests who want quiet and parking, not those who want to be in the quarter.
01What it is
Osoita Lodge is a three star property on Nazarene University Road in Greater Nairobi. The listed facilities cover the basics of a conference and leisure hotel: free wifi and internet access, 24 hour security, free car parking, a business centre, a lounge, a restaurant, a bar and a pool bar. There is more than one outdoor pool, including a salt water pool, a spa, massage, a playground, a terrace and a balcony. Practical items are present: laundry, cleaning, room service, luggage storage, concierge, car rental and bike rental, express check in, wake up service, iron and board, cots, towels, toiletries, desk, TV, safe and non smoking rooms. Breakfast, lunch and special diets are listed. Where the list thins out is on the detail of individual rooms and their layout.
For someone staying at Osoita Lodge, the offer is a self contained compound with the car parked on site. The shuttle service connects you to the city, and the pool, spa and playground keep a day occupied without leaving the address. The trade off is the position in Greater Nairobi. You are 13.02 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 163 minutes on foot in a direct line, so this is not a base for walking the centre. Osoita Lodge suits people who want parking, quiet and a conference room, and who treat every trip into Nairobi as a drive. It does not suit anyone whose plan is to step out of the lobby into the Central Business District.

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 a long way out, in the wider city, and Upper Hill and Community is only the nearest of the ten quarters to them, which is not the same as being in it. Treat the quarter as a reference point, not an address. Anything you want in the CBD means travelling in and out.
The quarter itself is the western ridge above the centre: new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room. It is not the CBD proper but the ridge immediately above it, and the place most of the CBD's office space has been moving to since the 2000s: 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 lies 1.9 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 24 minutes on foot in a direct line.

Book Osoita Lodge if you want a car parked on site and a shuttle for everything else, rather than a room you step out of 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.
