A 3 star apartment block on Likoni Road in Greater Nairobi, with parking, lifts and a shuttle on the list. It is for you if you want to drive in and out of the centre on your own terms. It is not for you if you want to step out of the door into the Central Business District.
01What it is
Lux Suites Wilben Apartments South B lists free car parking, lifts, sheets, towels, a shuttle service and wheelchair access. Read that list plainly: the parking and the shuttle are the two that matter to a visitor, because they decide how you get to the centre and where the car sits overnight. The lifts and the wheelchair access matter if stairs are a problem. Sheets and towels are the floor of the list, not a feature, and nothing here covers food, a gym, a pool or a room with a view, so treat the thin parts as thin.
Lux Suites Wilben Apartments South B is a 3 star property on Likoni Road, which puts it in Greater Nairobi rather than in the quarter itself. It is 4.02 km from Muthurwa and the east markets, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers, and 4.9 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 62 minutes on foot in a direct line. That distance is the decision. With a car or the shuttle, the property works as a quiet base with parking. Without one, you are relying on rides for every trip. It suits drivers, people who want a wheelchair accessible building, and anyone who would rather not sleep on top of the market noise. It does not suit a stay built on walking to the centre.

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 this site covers. They sit well outside the centre, in the inner suburbs, and Muthurwa and the east markets is only the nearest of the ten. Treat that as the useful fact it is: you are staying in the wider city, not in the CBD, and anything in the centre means travelling in and out for it. Muthurwa itself is the wholesale edge, where the market and the country bus termini push up against the railway land, and it sits 1.23 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 16 minutes on foot in a direct line.
That edge has its own texture: trucks, handcarts and the entire city's vegetables changing hands at 5am. It is best for an early-morning market walk with someone who knows it. After dark it is closed, dark and not a place to be, so mornings only. Nothing about the quarter makes it a base, and the hotels this page lists are not in it. They are for people who want the wider city and accept the journey in whenever the centre calls.

Book this one if you are arriving with a car or you are happy for the shuttle to do the work, because the parking and the location are the whole case. 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.
Facts on this page come from the booking supplier's record: star class, address, photographs and facility list. Guest scores come from verified stays. Nobody from this site has stayed here; the quarter copy around it is this site's own.
