S. Lucie Mango Apartment is a three star apartment block on Mango Court, on the ridge side of Greater Nairobi. Parking, lifts and housekeeping are on the list and wheelchair access is claimed with them. It suits the driver here for business, and it does not suit anyone who wants the centre on foot.
01What it is
S. Lucie Mango Apartment is a three star apartment property in Greater Nairobi, with twelve photographs on file. The listed facilities are practical and mostly to do with a car: free car parking, lifts to the floors, housekeeping, multilingual staff and wheelchair access. Nothing about the list says pool, garden, restaurant or view, and no guest score has been filed. That is not a problem so much as a shape: this is a place to sleep and work, and the list is honest about it rather than padded out.
What that adds up to is a stay built for someone with a car and a reason to be at a conference, not for someone visiting Nairobi for the first time. The street is new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room, and the after dark verdict is plain: safe and dull, hotel bars and a ride anywhere else. You are in Greater Nairobi, not the Central Business District, so plan to move by car. Book S. Lucie Mango Apartment if you want quiet, parking and a lift; leave it if you want 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.
