A one bedroom apartment in Greater Nairobi with a kitchen, a balcony and parking, in a building called Purple Gardens Suites. The thing that decides it is the location. This is a car address, and if you are coming to walk the centre, it is the wrong one.
01What it is
Cosy 1Br 43' Smart Tv is a 3 star one bedroom at Purple Gardens Suites in Greater Nairobi. The listed facilities are practical rather than generous: a kitchen, a bathroom, a balcony, a safe, a television, non smoking rooms, free wifi and internet access, and free car parking, with parking listed as well. There is no restaurant, no bar, no gym and no reception desk mentioned, and nothing is said about air conditioning, laundry or a lift, so treat the list as the whole of what the property offers you.
Cosy 1Br 43' Smart Tv suits a guest with a car who wants a self contained flat on the edge of the city rather than a serviced room in it. The kitchen and the balcony carry the stay, and free parking makes the building workable, because you will depend on a vehicle for everything outside the gate. The street is a flyover, a roundabout, and a market that starts before the light does, and after dark it is a transport edge rather than an evening one, so you cross it by car. It is not for a visitor who wants to step out to dinner or walk to the centre.

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.

Book this one only if the car and the kitchen are the point of your stay, because the flat is the whole of the offer and the address does the rest. 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.
