A one bedroom apartment on the Alba Gardens ridge, with indoor and outdoor pools, a kitchen and free parking. The car is not optional here: the centre is a direct line away, and after dark you ride anywhere else.
01What it is
Sunset Skyline Alba by YourHost is a 4 star one bedroom apartment on Alba Gardens, in Greater Nairobi rather than the centre. The listed facilities are heavy on the practical: a kitchen with oven, microwave, refrigerator and coffee, a washing machine, iron and board, hairdryer, toiletries and towels, plus free wifi and a TV. There is free car parking, lifts, a fitness center, a laundry service and non smoking rooms, and both an indoor pool and a swimming pool appear on the list, which reads as one pool entered twice. There is no restaurant, no bar and no workspace beyond a table. The useful bits for a longer stay are the kitchen and the laundry; the gaps are food, drink and anything to do without leaving the building.
What that adds up to for you depends entirely on how you move. Sunset Skyline Alba is built for the car and the conference room: park free, use the lift, cook for yourself, swim, repeat. The street is new concrete on a ridge, safe and dull after dark, with hotel bars and a ride anywhere else the only evening options. It suits a self driving business visitor, a conference delegate, or a family settling in for several nights. It does not suit anyone on foot hoping to walk out to dinner or into the centre, because nothing here rewards that.

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.
