A three star suite property on Zanzibar Rd Southb, south of the centre across wide industrial land. The list is practical rather than generous, free parking and a 24 hour desk. Its position is the deciding factor: you want a car, and you want to be back in daylight.
01What it is
Limpopo Suites is a three star property on Zanzibar Rd Southb in Greater Nairobi. The listed facilities run to the working basics: a 24 hour front desk, free wifi, free car parking and car parking, cleaning, laundry and dry cleaning service, luggage storage, a concierge, a shuttle service, a terrace, a smoking area and wheelchair access. It is a full service list for a three star, though there is nothing here that speaks to how you spend an evening: no restaurant, no bar and no gym are listed, so you eat out or you eat elsewhere. The terrace and the smoking area are the only outdoor spaces named.
What that adds up to is a self sufficient address rather than a comfortable one, and the setting decides the rest. Limpopo Suites sits 3.85 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 49 minutes on foot in a direct line, and 3 km from The Railway Quarter, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. The street around Zanzibar Rd Southb is wide industrial land, sheds, and the reason any of this is here. After dark it is industrial and unlit in stretches. Book it if you are driving and treating the room as a base; leave it if you want to walk to dinner.

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.

Limpopo Suites is a straightforward booking if you are arriving by car, because the parking and the desk stay are the two things the property does reliably. 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.
