A three bedroom apartment on Plainsview Road in Greater Nairobi, built for groups who want a kitchen, a parking space and a front desk that never closes, and who accept that the centre is a car ride away. The address decides it: wide industrial land, daylight only, a car back after dark.
01What it is
JJ homes 3 bedroom @Regal point apartments is a three star apartment block on Plainsview Road, and the list is weighted towards long stays: a kitchen and kitchenette, family rooms, a sofa bed, a desk, housekeeping, laundry service, iron and board, sheets, towels and toiletries. There is a 24 hour front desk, 24 hour security, lifts, free car parking, a safe and a smoke detector. Some listed facilities are plainly not on site, among them the golf course, tennis court, bowling, canoe and horse riding, and the list is thin on dining beyond breakfast, so self-catering does the work.
For a group, a family or a set of colleagues who want three bedrooms, a kitchen and their own parking, JJ homes 3 bedroom @Regal point apartments covers the practical ground and leaves the evenings to you. For a solo visitor who wants the centre on foot, or anyone relying on the street after dark, it does not: this is industrial land, unlit in stretches, and the site's own line is daylight only, and a car back. The apartment suits people moving by car who want space and a kitchen rather than a lobby and a bar.

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.
