A three star apartment block on Wood Ave in Greater Nairobi, built for people who want a kitchen and a parking space rather than a lobby and a concierge. The kitchen and the included parking decide it: this suits self catering stays, and it does not suit anyone who wants the centre on foot.
01What it is
Lux Suites Mango Court Apartments is a three star apartment property on Wood Ave in Greater Nairobi. The list is strongest on the things an apartment is for: kitchen, kitchenette, oven, microwave, refrigerator and washing machine, with a balcony, a garden and a jacuzzi alongside. It also lists air conditioning, free wifi, free car parking, a lift, room service, laundry service, a safe, family rooms, non smoking rooms and wheelchair access. Breakfast and a bar appear, and the bathrooms come with bath, shower, bidet, towels and toiletries. Where it is thin: no restaurant is listed, no gym, no pool and no shuttle.
Lux Suites Mango Court Apartments is in Greater Nairobi, and that placement is the whole decision. You are 4.3 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 54 minutes on foot in a direct line, so the centre is not a place you drift into for dinner and drift back from. What you get instead is a self contained flat: cook, wash clothes, park the car. The street is new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room, and after dark it is safe and dull. Suits drivers, families and longer stays. Does not suit anyone without a car.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels are not in Upper Hill and Community, and they are not in any of the ten quarters this site covers. They sit just outside the ten quarters, on the edge of the centre, and Upper Hill and Community is only the nearest of the ten. That puts you in the wider city rather than in the grid itself, so anything in the CBD means travelling in and out rather than stepping out of a lobby into it.
The ridge above the centre is new concrete, built for the car and the conference room: the tallest towers in the country, the big hospitals, the aid agencies, and an expressway ramp to the airport. It is best for meetings, a quiet night close in, and a fast run to the airport, and after dark it is safe and dull, hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. The quarter sits 1.9 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 24 minutes on foot in a direct line, though that is the quarter's own distance and not a walk from these hotels.

06Questions
Where exactly is Lux Suites Mango Court Apartments?+
The address is Wood Ave, in Greater Nairobi rather than the central business district. It is 2.82 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. The street is new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room.
What do the apartments actually include?+
Each apartment lists a kitchen or kitchenette with oven, microwave and refrigerator, plus a washing machine, balcony, air conditioning and free wifi. Free car parking is listed, along with a lift, room service, laundry service and 24 hour security. Breakfast and a bar are also listed, though no full restaurant.
Can I walk into the centre from here?+
It is possible but not practical for a daily routine. The property is 4.3 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 54 minutes on foot in a direct line. Most people staying here will be driving or taking a ride, which is why the free parking matters more than the location on foot.
How do I check availability for specific dates?+
Availability and dates are handled through the booking link on this page. Most rooms can be cancelled free, and confirmation is immediate once you book. If you need a wheelchair accessible room or a family room, ask before you confirm, since not every apartment is set up the same way.
