A three star studio on Ngong Road with its own kitchen and washing machine, which is the whole point of it. Book it if you want to cook, wash and park, and not if you want the centre at your door.
01What it is
Studio with a Washing Machine lists the things a longer stay needs and not much else. There is a kitchen and a kitchenette, a microwave and a refrigerator, so you can feed yourself instead of eating out. There is a washing machine, an iron and board, cleaning, free wifi and internet access, towels and toiletries. Free car parking and a lift are listed, and the studio is wheelchair accessible. Rooms are carpeted and non smoking, with a TV, a WC and a bidet. Where the list is thin is everything outside the room: no restaurant, no bar, no gym, no airport transfer, and nothing that suggests a concierge. The five photos on file show the studio, not a resort.
What that adds up to is self catering in a part of Greater Nairobi built for the car and the conference room. You get a base that works if you are in the city for a stretch and would rather not eat every meal in a hotel dining room. You do not get the centre. At 8.12 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 102 minutes on foot in a direct line, Studio with a Washing Machine is a place you drive to and from, and the parking is free because you will need it. After dark the area is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. It suits people with their own vehicle and a reason to be on this side. It does not suit anyone who wants to step out of a lobby into the Central Business District.

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 one direct if you want the kitchen and the parking, and treat the booking page as the only place with the current facts. 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.
