A four star hotel on Barabara Mpya Magadi Rd in Greater Nairobi, built around a pool and a garden on a ridge where a car decides everything. The listed facilities cover the practical ground well. Whether Asyana Gardens suits you turns on how much you need the centre.
01What it is
Asyana Gardens lists the working parts of a four star hotel: free wifi, a restaurant, a bar, room service, 24 hour security, concierge, laundry and housekeeping. Rooms come with a desk, TV, refrigerator, safe, bath or shower, bathrobe, slippers, toiletries and towels, and some have a balcony. There are family rooms, non smoking rooms and a lounge. Outside you get a garden, a terrace, a picnic area and a pool, with a kids pool alongside it. Breakfast is listed, and special diets can be handled. Where the list goes thin is on the business side: a banquet space is named, but no meeting rooms, gym or airport desk appear, and archery is the only activity listed.
What that adds up to is a self contained place to sleep, eat and swim at, which matters because the address is Barabara Mpya Magadi Rd in Greater Nairobi, 15.24 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. Asyana Gardens is a driver's hotel: you come with a car or you use the shuttle, and the evening is a hotel bar, because the street is safe and dull and anything else is a ride. It suits conference groups, families and people with business on this side of the city. It does not suit anyone who wants to walk to the centre in the morning.

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 a long way out, in the wider city, and Upper Hill and Community is only the nearest of the ten quarters to them, which is not the same as being in it. Treat the quarter as a reference point, not an address. Anything you want in the CBD means travelling in and out.
The quarter itself is the western ridge above the centre: new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room. It is not the CBD proper but the ridge immediately above it, and the place most of the CBD's office space has been moving to since the 2000s: 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 lies 1.9 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 24 minutes on foot in a direct line.

Book Asyana Gardens if the pool, garden and quiet ridge location matter more to you than being close to the centre, and check the room type for a balcony before you confirm. 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.
