A three star apartment block in Ruaka, well outside the centre and built for people with a car. Kitchens, parking and air conditioning decide it: if you want to walk to meetings in the CBD, this is the wrong side of town.
01What it is
Lux Suites Makao Rossyln Apartments is a three star apartment property in Ruaka, in Greater Nairobi rather than the centre. The list is domestic and practical: a kitchen with a microwave, refrigerator and sink, a bathroom with a bidet, WC, towels and toiletries, plus air conditioning, a desk, a TV, a balcony, free wifi and free car parking. Family rooms and non smoking rooms are on the list. Where the list is thin is in the things a hotel usually supplies: there is no restaurant, bar, gym or airport transfer named, and no guest score is on file, so the facilities are all you have to go on.
What that adds up to for Lux Suites Makao Rossyln Apartments is a self-catering stay: you cook, you park, you drive. The property sits 8.43 km from Ngara and the Globe, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers, and 9.05 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 114 minutes on foot in a direct line. The street there is a flyover, a roundabout, and a market that starts before the light does. After dark it is a transport edge rather than an evening one, and you cross it by car. It suits drivers staying several nights who want space and a kitchen. It does not suit anyone planning to walk into the CBD, or anyone who wants a bar and a restaurant downstairs.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels are not in Ngara and the Globe, and they are not in any of the ten quarters this site covers. They sit a long way out, in the wider city, and Ngara and the Globe is only the nearest of the ten. Treat that as the honest starting point: you are outside the centre, and anything you want in the CBD means travelling in and back out again.
The quarter itself is the northern edge, where the grid loosens and the roads north begin. The Globe Cinema roundabout is the CBD's northern hinge, the fruit market beside it opens at four in the morning, and Museum Hill is the next rise beyond. The street feel is a flyover, a roundabout, and a market that starts before the light does. It suits early markets and the walk up to the National Museum, and it is a transport edge rather than an evening one, crossed by car. The quarter sits 0.81 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 11 minutes on foot in a direct line, but that measures the quarter, not your hotel.

Book direct if you want the free cancellation and the kitchen, and confirm the parking with the property before you commit, since that is the reason to be this far 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.
