A three star apartment block behind Simba Villas Gate D, well outside the centre and built around parking and a shuttle. It suits you if you have a vehicle or an early flight and no interest in walking anywhere. It does not suit you if you want the centre on foot.
01What it is
Airport Landing Apartments lists free car parking, a shuttle service, sheets and towels, and wheelchair access. The parking is the item that matters most here: this is a car address, and without one you are dependent on the shuttle or on arranging your own transport. Sheets and towels being listed as facilities tells you the servicing is basic, and the three star rating matches that. Beyond the list above there is nothing on file: no restaurant, no bar, no pool, no gym, no workspace. The thinness of the list is the point, and you should read it as an accurate picture rather than an omission.
What that adds up to is a plain place to sleep with a vehicle parked outside it. Airport Landing Apartments sits in Greater Nairobi, 11.14 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 140 minutes on foot in a direct line, so the centre is not a stroll and the halls shut in the late afternoon. It suits drivers, people with an early flight, and anyone who wants their own transport and a fixed base rather than a central address. It does not suit you if you plan to walk to meetings, eat out in the centre, or rely on the quarter for your evenings.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels are not in Muthurwa and the east markets, and they are not in any of the ten quarters of the centre this site covers. They sit a long way out, in the wider city, and Muthurwa and the east markets is only the nearest of the ten. That is the whole point of the distinction: you are sleeping outside the grid, and you will be travelling in and out for anything in the CBD.
The quarter itself is the eastern edge of the grid: wholesale produce, bus termini, before dawn. Trucks, handcarts and the entire city’s vegetables changing hands at 5am. It is the wholesale edge, where Muthurwa’s market and the country bus termini push up against the railway land, and it feeds the rest of the grid. Best for an early-morning market walk with someone who knows it. After dark it is closed, dark and not a place to be, and mornings are the only sensible time. Muthurwa sits 1.23 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 16 minutes on foot in a direct line, and that figure describes the quarter, not your journey from these hotels.

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 Airport Landing Apartments?+
It is at Simba Villas Gate D in Greater Nairobi, well outside the central business district. The nearest of the ten quarters this site covers is 9.91 km from Muthurwa and the east markets. Treat it as a car address rather than a base you can walk out of.
What facilities does the property actually list?+
Free car parking, a shuttle service, sheets and towels, and wheelchair access, under a three star rating. There is no restaurant, bar, pool or gym on the list. The parking and the shuttle are the two items that decide how the place works for you.
How do I get into the centre from Greater Nairobi?+
Not on foot. The property sits 11.14 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 140 minutes on foot in a direct line. The shuttle is the listed option, and otherwise you arrange your own transport. Mornings are the realistic window for moving around here; after dark the area is closed and dark.
How do I check availability for my dates?+
Availability is shown when you search on app.impt.io, with free cancellation on most rooms. Book there rather than by turning up, since the property works on confirmed arrivals and you want the parking and shuttle held for you.
