A 3 star apartment block on Kangudo Road, built for people who drive. Private parking, a gym, a pool and a kitchen in the room decide it: with a car the 2.8 km from Upper Hill and Community is easy, without one the day gets long.
01What it is
Serenity Suites Apartment With Private Parking Space Modern Equipped Gym Swimming Pool And A Relaxing Rooftop With Unbeatable City Views lists what you would expect of a 3 star apartment: a kitchen or kitchenette, a bathroom with shower and WC, a washing machine, a TV and a telephone. Outside the room there is a garden, a terrace, a balcony and a pool, and the building has lifts, so upper floors are reachable. Security is listed around the clock, with free car parking and security features. The list is thin on the ordinary hotel side: no restaurant, no bar, no room service, nothing to eat unless you cook it.
That is what decides who Serenity Suites Apartment suits. If you want a serviced flat with a kitchen, your own parking space and a gym in the building, the address on Kangudo Road gives you exactly that, and the pool and rooftops are yours when you are back. This site's own line for the area is "New concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room." If you want to step out to dinner, meet people over a drink, or walk to meetings in the centre, it does not suit you.

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.

Book Serenity Suites Apartment as self catering rather than as a hotel, and pack for the fact that you will eat in unless you drive out. 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.
