A furnished studio in Tsavo Fedha, east of the centre, listed at three stars with a kitchen, free wifi and free parking. The market street outside is a working one, so the mornings are loud and the nights are dark. That single fact decides whether this place fits you.
01What it is
Fedha A modern furnished Studio Apartment near JKIA and SGR free WIFI Parking lists a full self catering set: a kitchen and kitchenette, microwave, refrigerator, coffee, water, plus a bath, shower, WC and toiletries, sheets and towels. There is a balcony, carpets, a TV and a safe, and the building runs a 24 hour front desk, 24H. Security, housekeeping, cleaning, laundry service, lifts and a barber or beauty salon. It also carries breakfast, lunch, a restaurant, a market, a smoking area, wheelchair access, non smoking rooms and pets allowed. The list is thin on the working side: no desk or business centre appears, and the studio layout is the whole of the accommodation.
What that adds up to: Fedha A modern furnished Studio Apartment near JKIA and SGR free WIFI Parking is an apartment with hotel services bolted on, not a hotel with a kitchenette. You cook, you get your laundry done, you park for free and you come and go through a staffed desk at any hour. It suits someone staying a few nights who wants to eat in, keep a fridge stocked, and be on the east side rather than in the centre. It does not suit anyone who wants the centre at night, or a room with a separate bedroom, and the street itself closes down after dark.

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 directly if a studio with a working kitchen and a staffed desk on the east side is what you need, rather than a hotel in the middle of town. 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 exactly is the studio, and how far is it from the city centre?+
It is on Tsavo Fedha 9 in Nairobi, in the Greater Nairobi area. It is 9.34 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 117 minutes on foot in a direct line, and 8.13 km from Muthurwa and the east markets, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers.
What does the apartment actually include for cooking and washing?+
The listing gives you a kitchen and kitchenette, a microwave, a refrigerator, coffee and water, plus a bath, shower, WC, toiletries, towels and sheets. Housekeeping, cleaning and laundry service are listed. There is no separate dining room, so you eat in the studio or on the balcony.
What is the street like around the building?+
It is a working market street. The city's vegetables change hands here at 5am, with trucks and handcarts, so mornings are the busy part of the day. After dark it is closed, dark and not a place to be, so plan your evenings elsewhere and take a vehicle back.
How do I check availability and can I cancel?+
Check and book through app.impt.io. Most rooms here can be cancelled free, and the confirmation comes back to you the same way. If you need a late arrival, the 24 hour front desk is listed, so a night check in is not a problem on the property side.
