A 3 star hotel on Latema Road in the loudest part of the CBD. The list runs to a night club, a terrace, a restaurant and a cafe, and you are 0.1 km from the centre of Moi Avenue and Tom Mboya Street. What decides it is the street after dark, which thins out fast and is better avoided late.
01What it is
Hotel Green Court Nairobi is a 3 star property on Latema Road, and its listed facilities are tilted towards eating, drinking and doing business. The list gives you a restaurant and a cafe, a bar and a night club, breakfast and a buffet, plus a business centre and a meeting room. Practical items are covered too: a 24 hour front desk, free wifi, a concierge, laundry and dry cleaning, luggage storage, a safe, a free newspaper, a terrace and a smoking area. Shuttle service is listed with a surcharge, which is the only mention of cost the property makes. Where the list is thin is on the things you would look for beyond a bed and a meal: there is no pool, no gym and no room service in the facilities given.
For someone staying here, Hotel Green Court Nairobi puts you inside the working centre of the city rather than on its edge. The 0.28 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 4 minutes on foot in a direct line, tells you how tightly the grid closes around the building. That suits a business trip built on meetings in the CBD, a one night stop between buses, or anyone who wants a restaurant, a bar and a night club in the same building. It does not suit a quiet break. The street is the loudest, fullest pavements in Kenya: hawkers, phone shops, preachers, and a bus every few seconds. After dark it thins out fast and is better avoided late, so plan on taking a car after dark.

04Standing in Moi Avenue and Tom Mboya Street
Moi Avenue and Tom Mboya Street is the busy grid, and it is the loudest, fullest pavements in Kenya: hawkers, phone shops, preachers, and a bus every few seconds. Two parallel streets carrying most of the pedestrian traffic in the country. The National Archives sits at the Moi Avenue end in the old Bank of India building, and the whole stretch is shops at street level with offices stacked above. It is best for street life, errands, and the Archives gallery in the middle of it. The quarter sits 0.27 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 4 minutes on foot in a direct line.
After dark it thins out fast after the commute and is better avoided late. Take a car after dark. That is the trade: you are paying for the heaviest footfall in the country, and the same footfall disappears by evening, leaving pavements you should not cross on foot. It suits anyone who wants the day to happen at street level and is happy to retreat behind a door at night. It does not suit anyone who wants an evening on the pavement outside.

06Questions
Where exactly is Hotel Green Court Nairobi?+
It is on Latema Road in the Nairobi CBD, 0.1 km from the centre of Moi Avenue and Tom Mboya Street. That is the trading heart of the city, close to the main bus and matatu streets, with shops, hawkers and phone kiosks filling the pavements through the day.
What facilities does the hotel list?+
A 24 hour front desk, free wifi, a restaurant, a cafe, a bar and a night club, breakfast and a buffet, a business centre, a meeting room, a concierge, laundry and dry cleaning, luggage storage, a safe, a free newspaper, a terrace and a smoking area. A shuttle service is listed with a surcharge.
What is the area around the hotel like at night?+
The pavements here are the loudest and fullest in Kenya during the day, with hawkers, phone shops, preachers and constant buses. After dark it thins out fast and is better avoided late, so the sensible approach is to take a car after dark rather than walk.
What does the guest score of 3.8 out of 5 mean?+
It is an average across 451 reviews, which puts the hotel in solid middle territory for its three star class rather than at the top of it. Read it as a reasonable, functional city hotel, not as a place guests single out for comfort or quiet, because the street outside is the loudest in Kenya.
