A four star hotel on Turbo Road in Greater Nairobi, built for the car and the conference room, with a long facilities list and a small review count. It decides for you on one point: whether your business is at Upper Hill or the hospital, and whether you will have a vehicle.
01What it is
Trisan Resident Hotel is a four star property on Turbo Road in Greater Nairobi. The list is long and leans practical: 24 hour front desk and security, air conditioning and fans, free wifi and internet access, free car parking, a restaurant, bars, room service, laundry, luggage storage, a fitness center and a spa. Rooms come with a desk, balcony, bath or shower, hairdryer, iron and board, safe, TV, telephone, toiletries, towels, slippers and water. There are banquet and concierge services, a garden and terrace. It is strong on the mechanics of a stay, and thin on anything that would pull you out of it.
What that adds up to is a working hotel. Trisan Resident Hotel gives you a quiet room, a desk, a bed, a place to eat without leaving the compound, and somewhere to park. The setting is new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room, and after dark it is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. It suits someone in Nairobi for a conference, a hospital visit or Upper Hill business, who will have a vehicle and wants the day to be simple. It does not suit anyone who wants to walk to the centre, and the small review count means you are booking on the list rather than on a crowd.

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 Trisan Resident Hotel if you want a four star working hotel with parking and a desk rather than a location in the middle of things. 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.
