A three star hotel on Limuru Road in Ruaka, in Greater Nairobi rather than the centre. It lists parking and a restaurant, which decides most of the question. Suits you if you have a car and business on this side of the city.
01What it is
Mayweather Suites is a three star property on Limuru Road in Ruaka, listed under Greater Nairobi rather than the central business district. The facilities it names are practical rather than decorative: parking, a restaurant, a bar, room service, laundry service, non smoking rooms and a mobile phone network. There is no pool, no gym and no airport transfer on the list, and nothing about meeting space, so the offer is a bed, a meal and somewhere to leave a car.
For someone staying at Mayweather Suites that adds up to a quiet base on the city's northern edge, with the essentials covered and nothing else promised. It does not suit anyone who wants to walk out of the door into the centre, because the centre is not here. The property suits drivers and people with business in Ruaka or along Limuru Road, and it does not suit a visitor whose days are planned around Kenyatta Avenue.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels are not in Ngara and the Globe, and they are not in any of the ten quarters this site covers. They sit a long way out, in the wider city, and Ngara and the Globe is only the nearest of the ten. Treat that as the honest starting point: you are outside the centre, and anything you want in the CBD means travelling in and back out again.
The quarter itself is the northern edge, where the grid loosens and the roads north begin. The Globe Cinema roundabout is the CBD's northern hinge, the fruit market beside it opens at four in the morning, and Museum Hill is the next rise beyond. The street feel is a flyover, a roundabout, and a market that starts before the light does. It suits early markets and the walk up to the National Museum, and it is a transport edge rather than an evening one, crossed by car. The quarter sits 0.81 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 11 minutes on foot in a direct line, but that measures the quarter, not your hotel.

Book Mayweather Suites if you are driving and your business is on this side of Nairobi, not if you want the centre on foot. 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.

06Questions
Where exactly is Mayweather Suites?+
It is on Limuru Road in Ruaka, listed under Greater Nairobi. The centre is well away: the property stands 10.21 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 128 minutes on foot in a direct line. Treat it as a northern edge base rather than a city centre hotel.
What facilities does the hotel actually list?+
Parking, a restaurant, a bar, room service, laundry service, non smoking rooms and a mobile phone network. That is the whole list. There is no pool, no gym and no shuttle, so arrive expecting the basics and plan anything else yourself.
How do I get into the centre from Greater Nairobi?+
By car. The street here is a transport edge rather than an evening one, so you cross it by car and you do not walk it after dark. It sits 9.64 km from Ngara and the Globe, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers.
What does the guest score tell me?+
It holds 4.4 out of 5 from 68 reviews, so past guests have generally been satisfied. Read that as a settled, unremarkable property doing the basics well. It says nothing about how close you are to the centre, which is the thing that decides most stays here.
