A three star studio block in Fedha Estate Embakasi, far out on the city's eastern edge and close to the vegetable trade that starts before dawn. It suits anyone arriving by car or shuttle who wants a kitchenette and quiet nights. It does not suit anyone who came to walk to the centre.
01What it is
Lux Suites Fedha Studio Apartments lists free car parking, a shuttle service and wheelchair access, and carries a three star rating. Those three facilities are the whole of it. Parking is the one a driver will care about most, since Fedha Estate is not a quarter you cross on foot, and the shuttle is the second, because it answers the distance question without you having to solve it yourself. Wheelchair access is worth confirming against the specific studio before you commit, because a building can list it and still have rooms it does not reach. There is no bar, no restaurant and no pool on the list, so nothing here competes with the studio itself.
What that adds up to is a self contained studio for someone who has their own transport or a shuttle arranged, and who is not treating the city centre as the point of the trip. Lux Suites Fedha Studio Apartments sits well outside the quarters this site covers, and the surrounding streets are a working market district, busy at first light and closed and dark after that. Book it if your business is on this side of the city and you want parking and a door that shuts. Do not book it if your days belong to Kenyatta Avenue, or if you want to step out in the evening.

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 of the centre this site covers. They sit a long way out, in the wider city, and Muthurwa and the east markets is only the nearest of the ten. That is the whole point of the distinction: you are sleeping outside the grid, and you will be travelling in and out for anything in the CBD.
The quarter itself is the eastern edge of the grid: wholesale produce, bus termini, before dawn. Trucks, handcarts and the entire city’s vegetables changing hands at 5am. It is the wholesale edge, where Muthurwa’s market and the country bus termini push up against the railway land, and it feeds the rest of the grid. Best for an early-morning market walk with someone who knows it. After dark it is closed, dark and not a place to be, and mornings are the only sensible time. Muthurwa sits 1.23 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 16 minutes on foot in a direct line, and that figure describes the quarter, not your journey from these hotels.

Booking Lux Suites Fedha Studio Apartments is straightforward, but confirm the wheelchair access and the shuttle arrangements with the property before you pay, because those are the two things the listing does not spell out. 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 exactly is Lux Suites Fedha Studio Apartments?+
It is on Fedha Estate Embakasi, in Greater Nairobi, on the city's eastern side. The site puts it 9.37 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 118 minutes on foot in a direct line, so this is not a property you reach on foot from the centre.
What facilities does the property actually have?+
The listing names three: free car parking, a shuttle service and wheelchair access. There is no restaurant, bar or pool on it. Treat those three as the whole offer and check the wheelchair access against your specific studio before booking, since building wide claims can be uneven.
How do I get into the centre from Greater Nairobi?+
The nearest quarter this site covers is 8.15 km from Muthurwa and the east markets. The property lists a shuttle service and free parking, so ask the property how the shuttle runs and where it sets down before you rely on it for a daily commute.
How do I check availability and book?+
Bookings go through app.impt.io, and most rooms there can be cancelled free. Availability moves, so check the dates you want rather than assuming a studio is open. Confirm shuttle and wheelchair details with the property before you pay.
