A serviced one bedroom in Roasters Garden estate, off Thika Road, with a kitchen, a washing machine and free parking, 8.21 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 103 minutes on foot in a direct line. The kitchen and the washing machine decide it: this suits a longer stay, not a night near the centre.
01What it is
Executive One Bedroom in Roasters Garden estate Thika Road is a four star address, and the list of facilities is built around living rather than sleeping. You get a kitchen and a kitchenette, a washing machine, a balcony, a garden, a TV, free wifi and internet access, and free car parking with parking on site. Non smoking rooms are listed. What the list does not carry is the other half of a hotel: no restaurant, no bar, no gym, no airport transfer, no reception hours, and no room service. Treat the facilities as the whole of what is on offer and nothing more is promised.
For the right visitor that is enough. Executive One Bedroom in Roasters Garden estate Thika Road gives you a base you can cook and wash in, park at without paying, and work from on the wifi, which is what a longer stay in Greater Nairobi needs. It is 7.51 km from Ngara and the Globe, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers, so this is not a place for someone who wants the centre at the door. Suits a self catering stay of several nights with a car. Does not suit a first visit built on walking the city.

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 early if your dates are fixed, because a single apartment rather than a floor of rooms means the calendar is short. 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.

What is the area like for getting into the centre?+
This is a transport edge rather than an evening one, on a flyover, a roundabout, and a market that starts before the light does. The site's own line is that you cross it by car. Greater Nairobi is not a walking proposition from here, so a car or a ride matters.
