A three star suite block on Kangundo Rd in Greater Nairobi, well outside the centre. The pool, the free parking and the twenty four hour desk are the draw. It suits anyone with a vehicle and business on this side of the city, and it does not suit a visitor who wants to walk to the centre.
01What it is
Amani Suite by Homes By Della is a three star property on Kangundo Rd in Greater Nairobi, not in the central business district. The listed facilities are practical rather than generous. There is a 24 hour front desk, free wifi, free internet access in the lounge and free car parking, with further parking listed. Laundry and dry cleaning services are both on the list, and there is a smoking area and wheelchair access. An outdoor pool is the one leisure item. The list is thin on food and drink: no restaurant, bar or breakfast is named, and no gym or airport transfer appears.
What that adds up to is a place built around the car and the early start. Amani Suite by Homes By Della gives you somewhere to park, somewhere to wash clothes and a desk that never closes, which is what a driver or a trader working the wholesale side of the city needs. The pool is there at the end of the day. What it does not give you is the centre on foot, a kitchen or a bar. Book it if you have your own transport and your business is on this side. Do not book it if you want the Central Business District at your door, or if you would rather not rely on a car after dark.

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.
