Pazoori Stays at Riara One Residency is a three star serviced block on Riara Road, out on the ridge in Greater Nairobi, with an indoor pool, a spa and parking. The distance from the centre decides it: you need a car here, and you get quiet nights in return.
01What it is
Pazoori Stays at Riara One Residency lists the full service set: 24 hour front desk, lifts, laundry service, free car parking and further parking, a shuttle service, shops, a smoking area, wheelchair access, plus an indoor pool and a spa. The three star rating fits that list. What is thin is everything outside the building: there is no restaurant named, no bar named and nothing on the street itself, so the food and the evening are questions you settle before you arrive or by car afterwards.
For someone staying at Pazoori Stays at Riara One Residency, the whole stay is built around the car and the room. 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. That suits a driver who wants a quiet base and a pool at the end of a working day, and it does not suit anyone who wants to step out of a lobby into the centre of Nairobi.

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.
