A three star apartment block on a ridge in Greater Nairobi, built for people arriving by car. The outdoor pool, the garden and the terrace are the reasons to pick it over a room in town; the reason not to is the distance to the centre. Come with a car or accept that every trip is a ride.
01What it is
Westside Premier Apartments lists an outdoor pool, a garden and a terrace, plus a 24 hour front desk, lifts, laundry service and free car parking, with cribs available. It has between one and fifty rooms. That is the whole of what is on file, and it is thin in the places you would normally check. There is no restaurant, no bar and no gym on the list, so meals and evenings are your own problem to solve. Pets are not allowed.
What the list adds up to is a self-contained block for someone with a car. Westside Premier Apartments gives you parking, a desk that never closes, lifts and laundry, and outdoors space to sit in, which is more than a town-centre room of the same rating offers. It is 3.6 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers, and that is the only quarter within easy reach. If you want to walk out of a lobby into the centre, this is the wrong property. If your days are meetings on the ridge and your evenings are the hotel bar, it fits.

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 well outside the centre, in the inner suburbs, and Upper Hill and Community is only the nearest of the ten quarters. That matters more than it sounds: you are staying in the wider city, and anything in the CBD means travelling in and out for it. The ridge itself is new concrete built for the car and the conference room, and most of the CBD's office space has been moving up there since the 2000s, which is why you find the tallest towers in the country, the big hospitals, the aid agencies and an expressway ramp to the airport on it. The quarter sits 1.9 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 24 minutes on foot in a direct line.
Upper Hill and Community is best for meetings, a quiet night close in, and a fast run to the airport. After dark it is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. If you want the centre on foot, this is not the right base.

Westside Premier Apartments takes bookings ahead of most apartment blocks on this ridge, and the free cancellation is the part worth checking first, because your plans here depend on having a car. 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.
