A five star property out in Greater Nairobi, not in the centre, with free parking, a front desk that never closes and a shuttle. The deciding fact is the address: this is a car or shuttle stay, not a walk to the meetings.
01What it is
Dayo Suites and Hotel is listed as five star and holds between one and fifty rooms. The facilities are the practical sort: a 24 hour front desk, lifts, luggage storage, a reception area, cleaning, a business centre and a meeting room. There is a restaurant, a bar, coffee, a concierge and a shuttle service. Car parking is free, and the property is wheelchair accessible.
What that adds up to for someone staying here is a quiet, car dependent base. Dayo Suites and Hotel is 10.11 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 127 minutes on foot in a direct line, so you are not walking in. A shuttle and free parking cover that gap, and the front desk stays open. It suits drivers, business travellers with a meeting room booked and anyone who wants the car parked. It does not suit anyone who wants the centre on foot.

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.
