A one-bedroom serviced apartment on Wood Avenue, on the new concrete ridge above Kilimani. It has a kitchen, a washing machine and a lift, plus a pool and gym in the building. The location decides it: you need a car, or you need Upper Hill, not central Nairobi.
01What it is
LaMeg Furnished 1 Br Kilimani is listed as a four star apartment on Wood Avenue, and the practical list is long: a full kitchen with refrigerator and microwave, a washing machine, iron and board, free wifi, free car parking, a lift, and a balcony. There is a bath as well as a shower, with towels, toiletries, bathrobe and slippers. For longer stays the apartment is genuinely self-sufficient. The health and leisure side is thinner: an outdoor pool, a fitness centre and a playground are listed, and that is the whole of it. Security and reception cover is the stated 24H Security plus security features.
What this adds up to is a car-based apartment rather than a hotel. LaMeg Furnished 1 Br Kilimani gives you cooking, laundry and parking, so it suits people staying a week or more who want to run their own day. It sits 4.28 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 54 minutes on foot in a direct line, and the street itself is new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room. After dark it is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. If you want to walk out of a lobby into the centre of things, this is not it. It does not suit anyone arriving without transport, or anyone who wants the centre on foot. It suits the driver, the longer stay, and the visitor whose business is Upper Hill rather than the CBD.

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 LaMeg Furnished 1 Br Kilimani on the apartment, not on the address, because the parking and the kitchen are what you are actually paying for. 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.

Can I stay here without a car and still reach central Nairobi?+
Not comfortably. The street is built for the car and the conference room, and after dark it is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. The centre is too far to walk in and back in an ordinary day. Come with a car or expect to use rides throughout.
How do I check availability for specific dates?+
Check dates through app.impt.io, which handles the booking for this property. Most rooms there can be cancelled free. Availability changes by date, so confirm before you plan around it, especially for longer stays where the kitchen and laundry matter most.
