A three star hotel on Mumias S Rd in Buruburu, east of the centre, with parking, a restaurant, a cafe and a playground. It suits anyone who needs to be near the Muthurwa and east markets trade, and it does not suit anyone who wants to walk out after dark.
01What it is
Jimlizer Hotel Limited Buruburu is a three star property on Mumias S Rd, and the facility list is broad but shallow. There is a restaurant and a cafe with coffee, a bar, and a reception area with a concierge. Practical items are covered: free car parking and general parking, dry cleaning service, sheets and towels, a smoking area, a playground and wheelchair access. A surcharge entry appears without explanation, and there is no pool, gym, business centre or airport transfer on the list. Twelve photos are on file.
For a guest, Jimlizer Hotel Limited Buruburu works as a functional, car oriented stop in Greater Nairobi rather than a place to spend a day. The playground and restaurant make it workable for families passing through, and the parking and dry cleaning suit someone on business in the eastern trade. It does not suit anyone expecting to step out for dinner or a drink in the centre, because the hotel is 5.17 km from Muthurwa and the east markets, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers, and the streets there are a daytime affair.

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 this site covers. They sit well outside the centre, in the inner suburbs, and Muthurwa and the east markets is only the nearest of the ten. Treat that as the useful fact it is: you are staying in the wider city, not in the CBD, and anything in the centre means travelling in and out for it. Muthurwa itself is the wholesale edge, where the market and the country bus termini push up against the railway land, and it sits 1.23 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 16 minutes on foot in a direct line.
That edge has its own texture: trucks, handcarts and the entire city's vegetables changing hands at 5am. It is best for an early-morning market walk with someone who knows it. After dark it is closed, dark and not a place to be, so mornings only. Nothing about the quarter makes it a base, and the hotels this page lists are not in it. They are for people who want the wider city and accept the journey in whenever the centre calls.
