A three star apartment block off Chady Road in Syokimau, in Greater Nairobi, with kitchens, a garden and an outdoor pool. What decides it is the position: it is a residential base for people who want their own kitchen and parking, not a base for walking into the central quarter.
01What it is
Lux Suites Green City Gardens Syokimau is a three star apartment property on Chady Road in Syokimau, in Greater Nairobi. The listing is built around self-catering: apartments with a kitchen or kitchenette, microwave, refrigerator, TV, bathroom with WC and bidet, towels, toiletries and slippers. It also lists a balcony or patio, a garden, an outdoor pool, family rooms, non smoking rooms and free car parking. The list is thin on the things a hotel normally provides: no restaurant, no bar, no gym, no airport transfer, no workspace, no laundry, and no guest score on file.
What that adds up to is a self-contained flat rather than a serviced stay. You cook, you park, you use the pool and the garden, and you keep to yourself. Lux Suites Green City Gardens Syokimau suits families and longer stays, people with a car, and anyone who wants a kitchen and space over a lobby and a concierge. It does not suit a visitor whose trip runs on the centre: the address is in Greater Nairobi, well away from the halls and offices of the central quarter, and a car or a ride is the practical answer.

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.
