Myra Residences Kilimani is a three star apartment block on Kindaruma Road, on the ridge above Upper Hill, with parking and a pool but no restaurant. It suits you if you are here for a conference or a hospital visit and you have a car. It does not suit anyone who wants the centre on foot.
01What it is
2 Bedroom Myra Residences Kilimani lists free car parking, lifts, an outdoor pool, a shuttle service and wheelchair access. Grouped, that is the infrastructure of a serviced apartment block rather than a hotel: you get to your floor without stairs, you can park without paying again, and there is a pool if the day is free. The list is thin on the things a hotel normally carries. No restaurant, no bar, no gym, no laundry, no airport desk are on the sheet. There are 12 photos on file, which for a two bedroom apartment is enough to show the rooms but not much more.
What that adds up to is a place to sleep and park, not a place to spend the day. 2 Bedroom Myra Residences Kilimani puts you 3.54 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 45 minutes on foot in a direct line, and 1.84 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. The street has been summed up better than it can be improved on: new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room, and after dark, safe and dull, hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. Suit self-driving consultants, medical visitors and families who want two bedrooms and a kitchen. Do not book it if you want the centre outside your door or a bar downstairs.

Facilities are the supplier's list, not a check made on the ground.
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 only once you have decided you are driving everywhere, because the apartment and the pool are the whole of the offer and the street gives you nothing to walk to. 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.
