Luxore Apartments is a three star apartment address on Chady Rd in Greater Nairobi, not in the centre. The one thing that decides it is the location: if your days belong in the CBD, this is the wrong side of the city, and the facilities list will not fix that.
01What it is
Luxore Apartments lists a practical rather than a generous set of facilities for a three star property. You get free wifi and free car parking, which covers the two things most people ask about first, along with lifts, wheelchair access and a smoking area. There is a spa, dry cleaning and a shuttle service on the list. Where it thins out is everything else: no restaurant, no bar, no gym, no kitchen or room details of any kind, so the twelve photos on file are doing a lot of work and the list tells you less than a full hotel listing would.
What that adds up to for someone staying at Luxore Apartments is a quiet, car dependent base rather than a place you spend the day in. The parking, the wifi, the lift and the accessible entry matter if you are arriving with a vehicle and leaving again each morning. They matter much less if you planned to walk to meetings, because this address sits well outside the quarter this site covers, at 13.13 km from Muthurwa and the east markets, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. It suits drivers and people whose business is in Greater Nairobi. It does not suit anyone who wants the CBD on foot.

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 of the centre this site covers. They sit a long way out, in the wider city, and Muthurwa and the east markets is only the nearest of the ten. That is the whole point of the distinction: you are sleeping outside the grid, and you will be travelling in and out for anything in the CBD.
The quarter itself is the eastern edge of the grid: wholesale produce, bus termini, before dawn. Trucks, handcarts and the entire city’s vegetables changing hands at 5am. It is the wholesale edge, where Muthurwa’s market and the country bus termini push up against the railway land, and it feeds the rest of the grid. Best for an early-morning market walk with someone who knows it. After dark it is closed, dark and not a place to be, and mornings are the only sensible time. Muthurwa sits 1.23 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 16 minutes on foot in a direct line, and that figure describes the quarter, not your journey from these hotels.

Book Luxore Apartments only once you have decided the Greater Nairobi location works for your trip, because the setting is the part you cannot change later. 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.
06Questions
Where exactly is Luxore Apartments?+
It is on Chady Rd in Greater Nairobi, outside the central business district. The site measures it at 14.24 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 178 minutes on foot in a direct line. Treat those figures as a rough orientation only, not as a route you would actually walk.
What facilities does Luxore Apartments list?+
Free wifi, free car parking, car parking, lifts, a spa, dry cleaning, a shuttle service, a smoking area and wheelchair access. That is the full list. There is no restaurant, no bar and no gym named, and no detail on the apartments themselves, so ask before you commit if any of those matter to you.
How do I get into the centre from Greater Nairobi?+
The property is in Greater Nairobi, well away from the CBD, so plan on a vehicle rather than a walk. The nearest quarter this site covers is 13.13 km from Muthurwa and the east markets, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. The shuttle service listed at the property is worth confirming directly.
How do I check availability and book?+
Availability and room types are confirmed at the point of booking through app.impt.io, where most rooms here can be cancelled free. The site holds no prices, so the rate you see at booking is the one that applies. Check the dates against your plans before confirming.
