A furnished studio on the seventh floor of Tsavo Studios in Embakasi, with a rooftop restaurant and a long list of building facilities. It sits 9.59 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, so it suits people passing through JKIA or the SGR terminus, and it does not suit anyone who wants to walk to the centre.
01What it is
DefiniteHomes3 Fully furnished studio apartment with a rooftop restaurant near JKIA Airport SGR Terminus Downtown is a three star property at Tsavo Studios Embakasi, seventh floor. The list is long and mixed: a twenty four hour front desk and security, air conditioning, lifts, free wifi, free car parking, a safe, smoke detectors and non smoking rooms. There is a restaurant and bar, room service, laundry and cleaning, a business centre, a fitness centre, a spa, a supermarket, a barber and beauty salon, and a shuttle service. Some entries, horse back riding, bowling, mini golf, darts, yoga and a night club, are facilities you cannot assume are on site, and the list names no kitchen in the studio itself.
For someone flying out of JKIA or arriving at the SGR terminus, the case for DefiniteHomes3 Fully furnished studio apartment with a rooftop restaurant near JKIA Airport SGR Terminus Downtown is practical: a secure building with a front desk that never closes, food and a supermarket on hand, and parking if you have a car. It is 8.37 km from Muthurwa and the east markets, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers, and the street outside runs on the vegetable trade: trucks, handcarts and the entire city's vegetables changing hands at 5am, then closed, dark and not a place to be. Book it if your business is the airport or the terminus. Do not book it if you want 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.

Book this one only if your trip is built around the airport or the SGR terminus, because the surrounding streets give you nothing after dark. 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.
