A three star two bed apartment on Mai Mahiu Road, in Greater Nairobi rather than the centre. Four things are listed: free wifi, free car parking, a smoking area and wheelchair access. The parking is what decides it, because the street here was built for the car, and anyone arriving without one is working against the location.
01What it is
The Immaculate 2 bed Apartment Langata Nairobi is a three star property on Mai Mahiu Road, filed under Greater Nairobi. The listed facilities are free wifi, free car parking, a smoking area and wheelchair access. That is the whole list, and it is thin: two bedrooms are the point of the place, and everything beyond parking, connectivity, a designated smoking area and step free access is left unstated. There is no restaurant, no bar and no room service named anywhere in the record, so treat the apartment as self contained rather than serviced.
For the right visitor that gap is not a problem. You get two bedrooms, a car park and a working connection, on a ridge of new concrete put up for the car and the conference room. If you are in Nairobi with a vehicle and a reason to be south of the centre, the Immaculate 2 bed Apartment Langata Nairobi covers the basics without ceremony. If you are on foot, or you want the Central Business District on your doorstep, it does not: this is Greater Nairobi, and the centre is a separate trip. It suits drivers and small groups, not anyone planning to walk everywhere.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels are not in Upper Hill and Community, and they are not in any of the ten quarters this site covers. They sit just outside the ten quarters, on the edge of the centre, and Upper Hill and Community is only the nearest of the ten. That puts you in the wider city rather than in the grid itself, so anything in the CBD means travelling in and out rather than stepping out of a lobby into it.
The ridge above the centre is new concrete, built for the car and the conference room: the tallest towers in the country, the big hospitals, the aid agencies, and an expressway ramp to the airport. It is best for meetings, a quiet night close in, and a fast run to the airport, and after dark it is safe and dull, hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. The quarter sits 1.9 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 24 minutes on foot in a direct line, though that is the quarter's own distance and not a walk from these hotels.

Book this one if the car park is the reason you picked it, because on this street a vehicle is the difference between a convenient base and an awkward one. 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 the Immaculate 2 bed Apartment Langata Nairobi?+
It is on Mai Mahiu Road in Nairobi, filed under Greater Nairobi rather than the Central Business District. The nearest of the ten quarters this site covers is Upper Hill and Community, 2.03 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. Plan on reaching the centre by vehicle.
What facilities does the apartment list?+
Four: free wifi, free car parking, a smoking area and wheelchair access. Those are the only facilities on file, so do not expect a restaurant, a bar or any serviced hotel arrangements. Two bedrooms, parking and a connection are what the listing supports, and anything beyond that should be confirmed with the property before you commit.
How far is it from the centre of Nairobi?+
It sits 3.17 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 40 minutes on foot in a direct line. That is a straight line measure, not a route you would necessarily walk, and the area is built around cars. The site's own note on the quarter is that it is a daytime quarter, the halls shut in the late afternoon.
How do I check whether the apartment is free?+
Check availability through app.impt.io, where the listing is held and bookings are made. Free cancellation applies to most rooms, and the confirmation details come back through the same booking. If you need two bedrooms on specific dates, check early, since a single apartment rather than a block of rooms limits what can be held.
