This is a one bedroom apartment in Greater Nairobi with free parking, an outdoor pool and a gym-style building, and the deciding question is how you will get into the centre and back, because the immediate surroundings are industrial and unlit in stretches after dark.
01What it is
Exquisite 1Bed with Free Parking Gym and Pool is a four star apartment rather than a hotel, and the list is long and self catering: a kitchen, microwave, refrigerator, washing machine, iron and board, coffee, free wifi and a TV, plus a balcony, terrace and garden. Bedroom and bathroom items run to a cot, a fan, towels, toiletries, slippers, a shower, a bidet and a WC, with lifts, non smoking rooms, free car parking and an outdoor pool. The list is thin on service: nothing about reception, meals, laundry or housekeeping is stated.
For the right visitor that changes little. Exquisite 1Bed with Free Parking Gym and Pool hands you a flat you can cook and wash in, which suits a longer stay, remote work, or a family that wants separate rooms rather than a hotel corridor. It does not suit anyone planning to walk to meetings or sightsee on foot, or anyone without a car. The naming of a pool and parking is the useful part here, not the four stars, and the setting in Greater Nairobi is the part that decides it.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels are not in the centre. They sit well outside it, in the inner suburbs, past the ten quarters this site covers. The nearest of those quarters, for orientation only, is The Railway Quarter, on the southern edge of the grid, and that is as close as the connection goes. You are in the wider city here. Anything in the CBD means travelling in and out, so plan the day around that rather than around a short step from your room.
The Railway Quarter itself is wide industrial land, sheds, and the reason any of this is here, the museum, and understanding the city's whole layout in one afternoon. Nairobi exists because the Uganda Railway stopped here in 1899 to gather strength for the Rift; the 1929 station, the old yards and the museum of locomotives sit on the CBD's southern boundary, ten minutes below Kenyatta Avenue. After dark it is industrial and unlit in stretches, so keep it to daylight and a car back.

Book this one once you have decided how you are moving around, because a car is the assumption behind the whole listing. 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.
06Questions
Where is this apartment in relation to central Nairobi?+
It sits at Nextgen Park in Greater Nairobi, which is 4.96 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 63 minutes on foot in a direct line. It is 4.1 km from The Railway Quarter, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. Plan on a vehicle rather than a walk.
What is actually in the apartment?+
A kitchen with microwave and refrigerator, a washing machine, iron and board, free wifi, a TV, a cot and a fan. The bathroom has a shower, WC, bidet, towels, toiletries and slippers. Outside there is a balcony, terrace and garden, plus free car parking and an outdoor pool.
Is this a hotel with a front desk?+
The listing is for apartments, not rooms, and there is no stated reception, restaurant, room service or housekeeping. You get a self contained flat with lifts and non smoking rooms. If you want staff on hand through the day and a bar downstairs, this is not that kind of property.
How do I check availability?+
Availability and dates are shown when you book through app.impt.io, which is where the room is listed. Cancellation terms are shown there before you confirm, and most rooms here can be cancelled free. Nothing on this site quotes a rate, so compare dates there rather than here.
