Almond Apartments is a three star block on Limuru Road in Greater Nairobi, out at the flyover and market edge. The list is plain and the location is the whole question. If you want the centre on foot, this is the wrong side of town; if you have a car and want to be clear of the quarter, it works.
01What it is
Almond Apartments lists free wifi and free car parking, and those two do most of the work here. Parking matters on Limuru Road, because the address sits at a flyover, a roundabout and a market that starts before the light does, so arriving by car is the assumption. Lifts serve the building, and there is a smoking area and a spa on the list. The three star rating is about right for that set: covered, functional, nothing dressed up. The list is thin on the ordinary things you might look for beyond connectivity, parking and a spa, so check what your room actually includes before you commit.
What this adds up to is a base for someone driving, not walking. Almond Apartments is 9.91 km from Ngara and the Globe, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers, and 10.48 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 131 minutes on foot in a direct line. After dark the area is a transport edge rather than an evening one, and you cross it by car. Suit a driver who wants parking, wifi and a lift, and a spa at the end of the day. Do not book Almond Apartments if you plan to spend your days in the centre on foot, or if you want the evening on your doorstep.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels are not in Ngara and the Globe, and they are not in any of the ten quarters this site covers. They sit a long way out, in the wider city, and Ngara and the Globe is only the nearest of the ten. Treat that as the honest starting point: you are outside the centre, and anything you want in the CBD means travelling in and back out again.
The quarter itself is the northern edge, where the grid loosens and the roads north begin. The Globe Cinema roundabout is the CBD's northern hinge, the fruit market beside it opens at four in the morning, and Museum Hill is the next rise beyond. The street feel is a flyover, a roundabout, and a market that starts before the light does. It suits early markets and the walk up to the National Museum, and it is a transport edge rather than an evening one, crossed by car. The quarter sits 0.81 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 11 minutes on foot in a direct line, but that measures the quarter, not your hotel.
