Stay.Plus Hill View Studio Apartment is a three star studio on Naivasha Road, on a ridge of new concrete built for the car and the conference room. It lists parking, lifts and wheelchair access, and little else. Book it only if you have a car, because it sits well out past Upper Hill.
01What it is
Stay.Plus Hill View Studio Apartment lists a short set: free car parking, lifts and wheelchair accessible access. For a visitor those are the ones that matter, since the lifts cover the floors and the parking means a hired or driven car has somewhere to sit overnight. The rest of the facility list is thin. There is no restaurant, no food, no laundry and nothing to do on the property itself, so treat the apartment as somewhere to sleep rather than somewhere to spend an evening.
What that adds up to is a self contained base on a ridge, with a car park underneath it and a lift up to the door. Stay.Plus Hill View Studio Apartment suits someone in Nairobi for work with a vehicle, who wants quiet rather than company, and who is content to drive to whatever the day needs. It does not suit anyone on foot, anyone without a car, or anyone who wants the centre, its restaurants and its evening life within reach.

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.

06Questions
Where is Stay.Plus Hill View Studio Apartment?+
It stands on Naivasha Road in Greater Nairobi, in a ridge area of new concrete built for cars and conference traffic. It is 9.64 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 121 minutes on foot in a direct line, so it is not a walking base.
What does the property actually list?+
Free car parking, lifts and wheelchair accessible access, and that is the whole of it. There is no restaurant, no food service and no other facility on the list, so plan to eat and spend your evenings elsewhere.
How do you get into the centre from Greater Nairobi?+
You drive or take a ride. The site puts it 8.44 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. After dark the area is safe and dull, so getting out means hotel bars or a car elsewhere.
How do I check availability?+
Go to app.impt.io, where bookings can be cancelled free on most rooms. Checking dates there is the only way to see what is open, since no rates and no opening times are published on this site.
