An apartment in Chady Road, off Syokimau Airport Road, aimed at drivers and longer stays rather than anyone wanting the centre on foot. The whole three bedroom unit, parking and wifi are the draw; Greater Nairobi road traffic decides whether it works for you.
01What it is
Cozy & Spacious 3BR Near Nairobi Airport & SGR with Fast CBD Access is a four star apartment in Chady Road, off Syokimau Airport Road, second right turn from Gateway Mall. The listed facilities are decent for a self contained unit: kitchen with microwave and refrigerator, washing machine, iron and board, free wifi and internet access, free car parking, balcony and terrace, non smoking rooms with shower, WC, towels, toiletries and slippers. It is a full apartment rather than a hotel room, so you cook and do your own laundry. What the list is thin on is anything beyond the unit itself: no restaurant, no bar, no desk or business facilities, no lift detail, no airport shuttle, and no small rooms. It is either the whole three bedroom place or nothing.
Cozy & Spacious 3BR Near Nairobi Airport & SGR with Fast CBD Access sits in Greater Nairobi, 12.65 km from Muthurwa and the east markets, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. The area around it is a market and warehousing edge: trucks, handcarts and the entire city's vegetables changing hands at 5am. That market is a morning event, and after dark the street is closed, dark and not a place to be. The apartment suits people who drive, need the airport or SGR side, and want space to cook and park, particularly families or two or three colleagues sharing. It does not suit anyone wanting to step out to bars, restaurants or the centre on foot, and it does not suit a single traveller who wants a 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 this one if you are arriving by car, using the airport or SGR, and want the whole apartment rather than a room; skip it if you plan to walk the centre. 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.
