Self-catering apartments on Sore Road in Greater Nairobi, with kitchens, parking and a lift, and an industrial address that runs unlit after dark. The 3.44 km from The Railway Quarter is the nearest this site's centre gets, so a car decides whether it works for you.
01What it is
Lux suites Meridian Court Apartments is a three star apartment block on Sore Road, and the list is built around cooking and parking rather than service. You get a kitchen or kitchenette with a microwave and refrigerator, a private bathroom with WC, bidet, towels, toiletries and slippers, an iron and board, a TV, free wifi and internet access, free car parking, lifts and non smoking rooms. Family rooms are listed. What is missing is anything beyond the unit: no restaurant, no bar, no breakfast and no gym appear at all, so the list is thin exactly where a hotel would normally carry you.
What that adds up to for anyone staying at Lux suites Meridian Court Apartments is a flat you run yourself in an industrial part of Greater Nairobi, not a hotel that looks after you. You cook, you park, you take the lift, and you bring in whatever else you need. It suits people with their own transport who want space and a kitchen and do not mind sheds and wide industrial land outside, and it suits families who would rather self-cater. It does not suit anyone planning to walk into the centre or expecting meals, a bar or company downstairs.

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.
