Nairobi Airport Suites sits on Muthama Access Road in Syokimau, south east of the centre and outside it. The rooms come with kitchens, so you cook for yourself. That distance is what decides it: if your business is in the centre, this is the wrong side of the city.
01What it is
Nairobi Airport Suites is a three star property on Muthama Access Road in Syokimau, in Greater Nairobi rather than in the centre. The facilities list is long and leans hard on the practical. Each room has a kitchen with a microwave, oven and refrigerator, plus a bathroom with a shower, toiletries, towels, slippers and a pillow menu, a TV, iron and board, and a patio. There is free wifi, free car parking, housekeeping, laundry service, luggage storage, non smoking rooms, cribs and wheelchair access, and a fitness center. The list is thin where it matters for a city stay: nothing here is a restaurant, a bar or any kind of reception into the evening, and no range of room types is given at all.
What that adds up to is a self-contained place to sleep and cook in Syokimau, not a base for the central business district. Nairobi Airport Suites is 15.64 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 196 minutes on foot in a direct line, and 14.57 km from Muthurwa and the east markets, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. The neighbourhood is a working produce and transport street: trucks, handcarts and the entire city's vegetables changing hands at 5am. After dark it is closed, dark and not a place to be. It suits someone with business on this side of the city, or an early flight and their own car. It does not suit anyone whose days are in 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 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.
