A two bedroom apartment in Tatu City, a planned edge of Greater Nairobi where the streets are new and the transport is thin. The apartment is the reason to come: kitchen, washing machine, pool, playground, security. The distance is the reason not to, if you want the centre.
01What it is
The Cozy Two BR Apartment in Tatu City is a four star self contained flat, and most of what it lists is the ordinary machinery of a serviced apartment: kitchen, microwave, refrigerator, washing machine, iron and board, towels, toiletries, slippers, shower and WC. Around that sit the shared things: free wifi, free car parking, 24 hour front desk and security, housekeeping, laundry service, room service, a restaurant, a bar, a pool bar and an outdoor pool with a kids pool and a playground beside it. Breakfast is listed. Family rooms and non smoking rooms are listed. Where the list is thin is on anything to do with the quarter itself. It is a compound, not a street.
What that adds up to for the Cozy Two BR Apartment in Tatu City is a place to sleep, cook and swim, with the car parked inside the gate. Families with children get the pool, the playground and two bedrooms; anyone staying a week gets the washing machine and the kitchen. What nobody gets is the centre: it is 18.69 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 234 minutes on foot in a direct line, and 17.92 km from Ngara and the Globe, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. Book it if you have a car and want space. Do not if you want to walk out to dinner.

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.
