A three star self contained studio off Ngong Road, with a kitchen, a balcony, parking and a pool. The one thing that decides it is the car: this sits in Greater Nairobi, 6.72 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers, so you drive everywhere.
01What it is
Serene studio along Ngong road Nairobi is a three star unit on Mama Wahu Road, and the listed facilities are built around staying in rather than going out. There is a kitchen and a kitchenette, a microwave, a refrigerator and water, so you can cook rather than eat out. The bathroom side is fuller than most at this level: a bathroom, a WC, a bidet, a shower, towels, toiletries and slippers. Add a balcony, a garden, a TV, free wifi, internet access, an iron and board, lifts, non smoking rooms, a smoke detector and free car parking. The list is thin in one place: it names a swimming pool and a garden but nothing about how either is run, and there is no restaurant, bar or gym.
What that adds up to is a quiet, practical base for someone who wants their own kitchen and their own parking, and who is not trying to be in the middle of the city. Serene studio along Ngong road Nairobi suits a self catering stay, a longer work trip, or a family that would rather cook than book a table. 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. If you want to step out of a lobby into the centre of things, this is the wrong shape. If you want a kitchen, a balcony and a parking space, it fits.

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 this studio if you want a kitchen and a parking space rather than a lobby, and check the calendar before you commit to dates, because a single self contained unit fills quickly. 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.

Can I get into central Nairobi without a car?+
The centre is beyond a comfortable walk on the figures given, and the area is built for the car.

How do I check whether the studio is free for my dates?+
Availability is shown when you book through app.impt.io, which is the booking route for this property. Look at the calendar there before you fix your dates, since a single studio unit can be taken on any given night. Cancellation terms are set out at the point of booking.
