A three star serviced apartment block on Thindigua Highway Street in Greater Nairobi, not in the centre. It lists a pool, a kitchen, parking and a balcony. Whether it suits you comes down to one thing: you need a car here, because this is a transport edge, not a walking quarter.
01What it is
Entire serviced Coral apartment With pool lists air conditioning, a kitchen and kitchenette, a microwave, a refrigerator, a lounge, a desk, a TV, a balcony, a patio, a terrace and a garden. The bathroom side is covered with a bath, a shower, a WC, towels, sheets, toiletries and slippers. There is free car parking, a lift, wheelchair access, cleaning, an iron and board, and pets are allowed. The pool and the bar are the leisure entries. The list is thin on detail: no room count, no floor plan, and nothing about how the serviced cleaning is arranged.
Entire serviced Coral apartment With pool reads as a practical base for someone with their own transport who wants a full apartment rather than a hotel room, with cooking facilities, laundry equipment and parking included. The address is 9.1 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 114 minutes on foot in a direct line, and 8.29 km from Ngara and the Globe, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. It suits drivers, longer stays and anyone who wants a kitchen and a pool. It does not suit anyone planning to walk into the centre, or anyone who wants the centre's streets on the doorstep.

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 once you have decided how you are getting around, because the apartment is in Greater Nairobi rather than the centre and a car changes the stay completely. 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.
Facts on this page come from the booking supplier's record: star class, address, photographs and facility list. Guest scores come from verified stays. Nobody from this site has stayed here; the quarter copy around it is this site's own.
