A three star apartment block on a ridge in Greater Nairobi, built around the car and the conference room rather than the street. It suits you if you are in the city for work at Upper Hill or a nearby conference and will travel by shuttle or car; it does not suit you if you want the centre on foot.
01What it is
Sky View Park Apartments lists three facilities: a luggage room, multilingual staff and a shuttle service, and it carries a three star rating. That is the whole list. Nothing here covers food, a gym, a pool or a bar, so you should treat the apartment as a base and not as somewhere the day resolves itself. The luggage room is useful if you arrive before you can settle in or leave after you have, and the multilingual staff make the front desk easier if English is not your first language. The shuttle is the part that matters most, because the address on Ring Road is not a walking address for the centre.
What Sky View Park Apartments adds up to is a practical, slightly bare place to sleep on a ridge outside the middle of Nairobi. The street feel is new concrete built for the car and the conference room, and after dark it is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. That makes Sky View Park Apartments a reasonable fit if you are here for work at Upper Hill or a conference nearby and have a car, a driver or the shuttle. It is a poor fit if you want to walk out to restaurants and shops, or if you expect the facilities list to keep you occupied.

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 Sky View Park Apartments only once you have settled how you will get to and from the centre each day, because the shuttle and the Ring Road address are the deciding details. 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.
06Questions
Where exactly is Sky View Park Apartments?+
The address is Ring Rd, Nairobi, in Greater Nairobi. It sits 4.1 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 52 minutes on foot in a direct line, and 2.83 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. Plan on a vehicle, not a walk.
What does the property actually list?+
Three things: a luggage room, multilingual staff and a shuttle service, under a three star rating. There is no restaurant, bar, gym or pool on the list, so do not count on the building for meals or evenings. The shuttle and the luggage room are the two you will use.
What is it like getting into the centre from Greater Nairobi?+
The street is new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room, and after dark it is safe and dull, with hotel bars and a ride anywhere else. You are outside the centre, so the shuttle service or your own car is how the day works.
How do I check availability?+
Availability and room types are shown when you book through app.impt.io, which is where Sky View Park Apartments is listed. Most rooms can be cancelled free, so you can hold a room while you confirm your travel plans and the shuttle arrangements for your stay.
