A three star studio block off Oloitoktok Rd, on the ridge where Nairobi builds for cars and conference rooms. It suits someone on a longer stay with a vehicle and their own reasons to be out this way. Without a car, the ride in is the whole day's plan.
01What it is
Takdiri Homes Executive Studio is a three star block off Oloitoktok Rd, in the part of Greater Nairobi that runs on new concrete, a ridge built for the car and the conference room. The list leans domestic rather than hotel: sheets and towels, housekeeping, laundry, luggage storage, lifts, car parking, a garden and a terrace. There is a spa, shops and a supermarket on the property, a basketball court, and babysitting if you are travelling with children. It is not a full service hotel, and the list is thin where a hotel usually carries you: no restaurant is named, no bar, no gym, no airport desk. Shuttle service is listed, with a surcharge noted against it, so treat anything beyond the gate as something you arrange rather than something included.
What Takdiri Homes Executive Studio adds up to depends entirely on how you move. With a car, the parking, the supermarket, the laundry and the kitchen-grade setup make it a workable base for a stay of weeks rather than nights, and the garden and terrace give you somewhere to sit that is not the room. Without one, you are 3.83 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 48 minutes on foot in a direct line, in a quarter that is safe and dull after dark, with hotel bars and a ride anywhere else. It suits the self-driving longer stay, the conference visitor with a driver, the family that wants babysitting and a court. It does not suit anyone who wants the centre on foot, or a bar and a restaurant 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 once you have decided a car is part of the stay, because that decision is what makes the address work. 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.
06Questions
Where exactly is Takdiri Homes Executive Studio?+
Off Oloitoktok Rd, in Greater Nairobi. It is 2.96 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers, and it sits in the newer ridge development rather than in the old centre. Plan on arriving by car or by a ride you have arranged.
What does the property actually have on site?+
Parking, free car parking, lifts, housekeeping, laundry, luggage storage, sheets and towels, a garden, a terrace, a spa, shops, a supermarket, a basketball court and babysitting. A shuttle service is listed with a surcharge against it. There is no named restaurant or bar on the list, so do not assume one.
Can I walk into the centre from here?+
It is possible on paper and poor in practice. The property is 3.83 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 48 minutes on foot in a direct line, and the streets around it are built for cars. After dark the area is safe and dull, with hotel bars and a ride anywhere else being the realistic option.
How do I check availability and hold a room?+
Availability and booking run through app.impt.io, where you can see what is open for your dates and confirm the room. Most rooms can be cancelled free, so you can hold one while you sort out a car, which is the thing that decides whether this address suits you.
