A three star self catering apartment block in South B, out in the industrial land south of the centre. The kitchen decides it. You want your own cooking and a car, or you want a different part of town.
01What it is
Lux suites Roverpark Apartment South B lists the practical things: a kitchen and kitchenette with a microwave and refrigerator, a bathroom with a WC, a bidet, towels, toiletries and slippers, and free wifi and internet access through the rooms. There are family rooms and non smoking rooms, a TV, and free car parking on site with further parking listed. It is a three star property. The list is thin where service is concerned: no restaurant, no bar, no gym, no airport transfer, no desk or concierge, nothing on site beyond the room and the parking bay.
What that adds up to is an apartment, not a hotel. At Lux suites Roverpark Apartment South B you arrive, park, cook, sleep and leave, and there is nobody arranging the rest of your day for you. That suits a self driving family or a small group who want space and their own food, and it suits anyone working on this side of the city. It does not suit a first time visitor who wants the centre on foot, and it does not suit anyone without a car.

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.
