A three star apartment block on Kingara Rd, out on the ridge in Greater Nairobi, with parking, a pool and a gym on the list. It decides itself on one thing: you have a car, or you accept paying for a ride every time you leave. It is not a walking address.
01What it is
Stay.Plus Urban Oasis Apartment is a three star property on Kingara Rd in Greater Nairobi, not in the centre. Its listed facilities fall into three groups. For drivers there is free car parking and a separate parking entry. For the body there is an outdoor pool, a fitness centre and a lounge. For access there is a shuttle service and wheelchair accessible provision. The list is thin on everything else: no restaurant, no bar, no laundry, no workspace, no airport desk. What is on it stops at the pool, the gym, the lounge and the car.
What that adds up to is a self contained block for people who arrive by car and stay put. Stay.Plus Urban Oasis Apartment sits in Greater Nairobi, 5.51 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers, and the street it is on is new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room. After dark it is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. It suits drivers and people working in the conference hotels nearby. It does not suit anyone who wants to walk out to dinner, and it does not suit a first trip built around the centre.

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 Stay.Plus Urban Oasis Apartment if the ridge location and the parking matter more to you than being in the middle of the city, and check the room type before you confirm, because an apartment block lists its facilities per unit. 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.
Facts on this page come from the booking supplier's record: star class, address, photographs and facility list. Guest scores come from verified stays. Nobody from this site has stayed here; the quarter copy around it is this site's own.

It is on Kingara Rd in Greater Nairobi, on the new concrete ridge rather than in the central business district. It stands 6.96 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 87 minutes on foot in a direct line, so treat it as a car address.
What facilities does Stay.Plus Urban Oasis Apartment list?+

Not usefully. It is 6.96 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 87 minutes on foot in a direct line, and the ridge is built for cars. The shuttle service or a ride is the practical way in, and the same applies after dark.
How do I check availability at Stay.Plus Urban Oasis Apartment?+
Availability and room types are checked through app.impt.io. Look at the unit you are booking rather than the building, because the facilities are listed for the property as a whole. Free cancellation applies to most rooms, so you can hold a date and change it.
