A three star apartment block on Ngong Road, west of the centre, with free car parking and wheelchair access. It suits you if you have a car and want a quiet, self contained base rather than a lobby to sit in. Without a car, look elsewhere.
01What it is
Stay.Plus Zahara Apartment Ngong Road is a three star apartment property on Ngong Road, in Greater Nairobi. The listed facilities are short: free car parking and wheelchair access. Both matter here, because this is a car oriented quarter and the accessible route through the building is worth having confirmed. Everything else you might expect of an apartment at this level, whether that is a kitchen, laundry, a lift or a desk, is not on the list, so ask before you commit to a longer stay.
What this adds up to is a plain, self contained base with a parking space and step free access, on a ridge of new concrete built for the car and the conference room. Stay.Plus Zahara Apartment Ngong Road suits a driver who wants to park at the door and come and go on their own schedule, and a wheelchair user who needs the access to be real rather than nominal. It does not suit anyone planning to walk into the centre for dinner, or anyone who wants a bar, a restaurant or company downstairs.

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 this one only if you have a car or a driver, since the location does most of the work here and the flat list of facilities does the rest. 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.
