Capital M by BednBeyond is a four star apartment block on Muthithi Road in Westlands, in Greater Nairobi rather than the centre itself. What decides it is whether you want a kitchen, a washing machine and a quieter residential street, and whether you accept that the centre is a walk or a ride away.
01What it is
Capital M by BednBeyond Dehali Line Westlands is a four star apartment property, and the facility list reads like one: kitchens and kitchenettes with ovens, microwaves, refrigerators and toasters, washing machines, separate living space with sofas, dining and lounge areas, plus apartment layouts with balconies, patios and terraces. To that it adds the hotel layer: restaurant and bar, breakfast and breakfast in room, lunch, room service, 24 hour front desk, concierge, housekeeping, laundry and dry cleaning, luggage storage, express check in, lifts, free wifi and free car parking, a fitness centre, spa, massage, jacuzzi, indoor pool, pool bar, games room, squash and a garden. Where the list is thin is anywhere it gets specific: cot, high chair, alarm clock, slippers and hairdryer are named, but not much beyond that about the rooms themselves, and the property has twelve photos on file.
What that adds up to for someone staying at Capital M by BednBeyond is a self contained base in a residential part of Greater Nairobi, with the practical machinery of a long stay, cooking, laundry and parking, sitting under the conveniences of a hotel, a front desk that never closes, food downstairs and a spa. The verdict: it suits people in Nairobi for more than a night or two, families and anyone who wants to cook and park, and it does not suit anyone whose reason for being here is the centre itself. Westlands is not the Central Business District, and treating it as a stand in for one asks more of the streets than they give.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels sit outside the ten quarters of the centre this site covers. Biashara Street and City Market is only the nearest of the ten, and it is where you would be heading, not where you are sleeping. Take that as the shape of your stay: you are in the wider city, just outside the ten quarters, on the edge of the centre, and anything in the CBD means travelling in and out rather than stepping out of a lobby.
The quarter itself is the market one, 0.63 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 8 minutes on foot in a direct line. The oldest retail streets in the city: Biashara for cloth and haberdashery, Muindi Mbingu for flowers, and the 1930s City Market hall behind them for produce, curios and a fish counter. Jamia Mosque's three silver domes close the block. The streets are narrow, shaded, and the only part of the centre where the shops are still one-family wide. It suits kikoi and kitenge cloth, curios without the tour-bus markup, and an hour of architecture. It is a daytime quarter: the halls shut in the late afternoon and the streets empty with them, so plan the return before that.
