Avora Executive Urban Studio Apartment

Upper Hill, Nairobi

$57per night

About this apartment

A thirty square metre studio laid out so two people are not in each other's way: a fitted kitchen, a private balcony over the city, and a desk that is actually usable. Daily housekeeping, backup power and 24-hour security come with the building.

2 guests — two adults, or one adult and a child. Booking confirms straight away. A 50% deposit by card or M-Pesa secures the dates, and the balance can wait until you arrive if that suits you better. Check-in is self-service with a smart lock, any hour: your access code arrives by email 24 hours before you do.

Photographs flatten a small flat. These are walk-throughs — the room, the light at different hours, and the way in from the street. They play here; nothing loads from Instagram until you press play.

Where you will be

Upper Hill sits between Nairobi’s business district and its main hospitals, which is why most of our guests are here — a meeting, a conference, or someone in treatment nearby.

The building is Altura Apartments on Ralph Bunche Road. From the door it is about five minutes on foot to Nairobi Hospital, ten to Kenyatta National Hospital, and under ten to the Upper Hill office towers — the reason people choose this street rather than a cheaper one twenty minutes away in traffic.

From Jomo Kenyatta International it is roughly eighteen kilometres on the Expressway: twenty-five to thirty-five minutes late in the evening, and an hour or more in weekday traffic. Send us your flight number and we will have a driver waiting with your name, at a fare agreed before you land. There is a full write-up of the journey if you would rather arrange your own.

Your floor, unit number and door code are emailed 24 hours before you arrive.
