West Lerruat is a three star hotel on Kodi Road, on the new concrete ridge above the centre, with a restaurant, a bar, parking and shuttle service. It is built for business. What decides it is the 1.79 km from Upper Hill and Community, the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers: that is the side of town you are here for, not the centre.
01What it is
West Lerruat Hotel lists the things a working stay needs and little else. Every room has air conditioning, a desk, a TV, a bath and shower, a WC, towels and toiletries. There are lifts, a 24 hour front desk, room service, a restaurant or more, bars, a terrace and a balcony, family rooms and non smoking rooms. Free car parking sits alongside general parking, and there is shuttle service. What the list does not give you: no gym, no pool, no business centre named, no laundry, no airport transfer detail, no kitchen in the room and nothing about how the building is staffed after dark.
What that adds up to is a car hotel on the ridge. West Lerruat Hotel is 2.82 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 36 minutes on foot in a direct line, so the centre is reachable but not on your doorstep, and after dark the street is safe and dull. Hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. Suit it to you if you are driving, if you have a conference in Upper Hill or a meeting on this ridge, if you want parking and a shower and a bed and no scene. Do not choose it if you mean to walk out to restaurants and nightlife, or if you are in Nairobi without a car or a driver.

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.

06Questions
Where exactly is West Lerruat Hotel?+
It is on Kodi Road in Nairobi, on the ridge of new concrete above the centre. It stands 1.79 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers, so the business district to the south of the centre is the part of town you are closest to.
What does the hotel actually have?+
The list covers 24 hour front desk, air conditioning, balcony, bars, bath, desk, family rooms, free car parking, lifts, non smoking rooms, parking, restaurants, room service, shower, shuttle service, slippers, smoke detector, TV, terrace, toiletries, towels, WC and water. That is the whole of it: no gym, no pool, no business centre.
Can I walk into the centre from here?+
Yes, but it is a long walk. The hotel is 2.82 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 36 minutes on foot in a direct line. Most people staying here drive or take the shuttle, and after dark the advice is the same: a ride, not a walk.
How do I check availability and book?+
Availability is shown by date on app.impt.io, where you complete the booking for West Lerruat Hotel. Most rooms can be cancelled free. There are no prices on this site: the app holds the current rates and the cancellation terms for the nights you choose.
