A 3 star hotel on Hospital Rd in Upper Hill and Community, built for the car and the conference room rather than for walking into the centre. It lists a 24 hour front desk, breakfast, parking and a restaurant, and it is this last set of practicalities, not any atmosphere, that decides whether it suits you.
01What it is
Sungura Boutique Hotels is a 3 star property on Hospital Rd in Upper Hill and Community, and its listed facilities are practical ones: a 24 hour front desk, breakfast, a buffet, free car parking, a restaurant, and wheelchair access. There are 12 photos on file. The list is thin on the things a leisure visitor might look for, so treat it as a working hotel rather than a resort. There is no spa, no gym and no pool named here, and the entry is quiet throughout the day.
What that adds up to is a place organised around arriving by car and leaving again by car. Sungura Boutique Hotels is 2.13 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 27 minutes on foot in a direct line, so the centre is a walk you can make but not one you will want to make twice a day. The street itself is new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room. Suits conference and hospital visitors with their own transport, and anyone who wants the centre on foot should look elsewhere in the quarter.

04Standing in Upper Hill and Community
Upper Hill and Community sits on the western ridge, 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. The street feel is new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room. The quarter lies 1.9 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 24 minutes on foot in a direct line.
It is best for meetings, a quiet night close in, and a fast run to the airport. After dark it is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. That suits people here to work and people who want their evening contained. It does not suit anyone expecting street life outside the door. The streets are built for the car and the conference room, so plan to move by vehicle once the working day ends.

06Questions
Where is Sungura Boutique Hotels in Nairobi?+
It is on Hospital Rd in Upper Hill and Community, 0.49 km from the centre of Upper Hill and Community. That puts it close to the hospitals and offices on the ridge, and further from the retail centre of the city, which you reach by car or on foot along a direct line.
What facilities does Sungura Boutique Hotels list?+
A 24 hour front desk, breakfast, a buffet, free car parking, a restaurant and wheelchair access. Breakfast and parking matter most here because the area is built for the car. The list names nothing for leisure, no pool or gym, so plan your days around the city rather than the building.
Can you walk from Sungura Boutique Hotels into central Nairobi?+
You can. It sits 2.13 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 27 minutes on foot in a direct line. The walk is direct but the streets here are made for cars, and after dark the advice for this ridge is a ride rather than a walk, so most people drive.
What does the guest score of 4 out of 5 mean?+
It is an average over 630 reviews, so it reflects a consistent level rather than a single experience. The listed facilities and the 3 star rating are the better guide to what you get: a practical working hotel in Upper Hill and Community, not a leisure property, and priced accordingly.
