A three star apartment style stop on Syokimau Airport Rd, with a kitchen, a fridge and a pool, well outside the city centre. The deciding fact is the street: trucks, handcarts and the whole city's vegetables changing hands at five in the morning, and after dark it shuts down completely.
01What it is
Apple Residdence lists the practical things first: free wifi, parking, a kitchen with a fridge and microwave, a TV, a shower, toiletries and non smoking rooms. There is a restaurant, room service, coffee, and an outdoor pool. That covers a self contained stay and a car. What the list does not carry is any detail of the rooms themselves, their size, their condition or how many there are, so the facilities tell you what is on site and nothing about what you get inside the door.
Apple Residdence sits in Greater Nairobi on Syokimau Airport Rd, at 14.3 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 179 minutes on foot in a direct line, and 13.11 km from Muthurwa and the east markets, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. The street there is trucks, handcarts and the entire city's vegetables changing hands at 5am, and after dark it is closed, dark and not a place to be. Mornings only. Book it if you have a car and want the airport road; do not book it if you want the centre on foot or an evening outside the room.

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.

Book Apple Residdence if the Syokimau Airport Rd address is the point of the trip and you are driving yourself, not if you want the centre within reach on foot. 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.

What facilities does Apple Residdence list?+
Free wifi, parking, a kitchen with a fridge and microwave, a TV, a shower, toiletries, non smoking rooms, a restaurant, room service, coffee and an outdoor pool. That is the whole of the list. It supports a self contained stay with a car, and the property gives no further detail on the rooms.
Can I walk from Apple Residdence into the centre?+
The street in Syokimau is trucks, handcarts and the entire city's vegetables changing hands at 5am, and after dark it is closed, dark and not a place to be. Mornings only. The centre is a long way off, so plan on a vehicle rather than a walk in either direction.
What does the guest score of 3.6 out of 5 mean?+
It is the average across 542 reviews, which puts the property in the middle of the three star range rather than at the top of it. Read it as acceptable rather than impressive. The reviews say nothing about the rooms themselves, so treat the listed facilities as the firm ground.
