A four star studio block on Wanyee Close, off Ngong Road, built for the car and the longer stay. It has parking, a pool and a kitchenette. What decides it is whether you want a self-contained base in Greater Nairobi rather than a hotel inside the centre.
01What it is
Stylish Studio on Ngong Road lists a working set rather than a hotel one. There is a kitchenette with a microwave and refrigerator, a balcony, a bathroom, towels, a safe and a TV, plus a fitness center, an outdoor pool, a picnic area and a playground. Business travelers get a business center, lifts and express check in, and 24H. Security sits over the whole address. Free car parking, a market and laundry cover the practical end. The list is thinner than it looks: no restaurant of its own, only bars, and no guest score is held for it.
Stylish Studio on Ngong Road is a four star address on a ridge of new concrete, and the facilities say the same thing the street does: this is self-catering ground for people with a car and a reason to be in Greater Nairobi rather than in the centre. The kitchenette, the parking and the laundry point to stays of a week or more, and the pool and playground point to families. It suits long-stay and self-driving visitors, and it does not suit anyone who wants to step out of a lobby into the middle of the city.

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.

Book this one early if you want the kitchenette and parking together, because that pairing is what the listing is built around. 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.
