About Nairobi Terminus

Nairobi Terminus is a railway station in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. It is the city's stop for rail passengers, and its platforms are the point where travellers arrive from or depart for other parts of the country. The station sits within Nairobi County, the same county that holds the city's 30 listed places to stay outside the Central Business District. People come to Nairobi Terminus to catch a train rather than to sightsee, so the reason to sleep nearby is practical: a shorter trip to the platform on the day of travel. Nairobi itself draws visitors for work, for family, or to rest before travelling onward, and Jomo Kenyatta International Airport lies southeast of the city centre while Nairobi National Park sits on the southern edge. Hotels near Nairobi Terminus therefore suit guests who want their onward rail journey to begin close to where they slept.

Tips for staying near Nairobi Terminus

  • Rail departures set the day, so plan your journey to Nairobi Terminus around your train time rather than around a fixed check-in hour, and allow extra minutes if you are coming from one of the hotels 2 km away or more.
  • If you are heading to the station straight after landing, the hotels clustered around the airport side of the city let you rest first and travel to Nairobi Terminus afterwards, which suits early departures better than crossing the city twice.
  • The closest properties fill first when train travel is busy, so book the likes of Argyle Grand Hotel Nairobi Airport or Sawa Sawa Lodge Adults Only early if you want to walk to the station instead of arranging a ride.
  • For a station transfer with luggage, a taxi is easier than walking from the hotels at 1.9 km and beyond such as Sunrise Park Suites, Park Heights by Edmor Suites or Golden City Gardens.
  • Guests using the station regularly often prefer a hotel with a high guest score for a comfortable night before travel; Hilton Garden Inn Nairobi Airport and Crowne Plaza Nairobi Airport by IHG are both rated 4.6 and 4.7 respectively.
