A three star resort on Mai Mahiu Road with a garden, free parking, wifi and breakfast, and a short hop from Upper Hill. Whether it is right for you comes down to whether you want a quiet, car based base rather than a walkable quarter.
01What it is
Kimberly Resort is a 3 star property on Mai Mahiu Rd in Greater Nairobi. The listed facilities are breakfast, free wifi, free car parking, dry cleaning service, parking, a garden, a smoking area and wheelchair access. For a visitor the useful ones are the wifi, the breakfast and the free parking, which make a car based stay straightforward. The list is thin on anything aimed at a long stay: no restaurant beyond breakfast, no gym, no pool, no airport transfer. It is a modest, functional set rather than a full service one.
What that adds up to is a place built for arriving by car, working, eating breakfast and leaving again. If you are in Nairobi for a conference or a meeting in Upper Hill and you have your own transport, Kimberly Resort covers the basics without pretension. If you want to walk out to dinner, browse shops or reach the CBD on foot, this is the wrong side of the decision: it sits in Greater Nairobi, not in the centre. It is also no use if you need a full service hotel with restaurants and leisure facilities on site.

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.
