A four star self catering flat in South B, off Likoni Road, on wide industrial land away from the centre. It lists a kitchen, a washing machine, a balcony and terrace, free parking and free wifi, and wheelchair accessible rooms. You need a car, and you need it in daylight.
01What it is
Nairobi city view apartment lists the things that let you live rather than camp. There is a kitchen with a microwave and refrigerator, a washing machine, a balcony and a terrace, a TV and a radio, and a bathroom with a shower, a WC, toiletries and slippers. Wifi is free and so is car parking. Non smoking rooms and wheelchair accessible rooms are on the list. Where the list thins out is service: no restaurant, no bar, no meeting room, no gym, nothing to do on the property but be in it.
What that adds up to is a self contained flat in an area of sheds and wide industrial land. Nairobi city view apartment suits someone staying several days who wants a kitchen and a washing machine, who has a car, and who treats the centre as a place to drive to and leave. It does not suit anyone without a car, anyone who wants to walk out to dinner, or anyone who wants the city on the doorstep. The street is industrial and unlit in stretches, so plan on daylight only outside, and a car back.

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.

Book this one if you want a kitchen and a parking space rather than a lobby, and check the room type before you commit, because a wheelchair accessible flat and a fourth floor balcony flat are not the same stay. 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 Nairobi city view apartment?+
It is on South B, off Likoni Road, in the Greater Nairobi area. That puts it 3.75 km from The Railway Quarter, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers, and 4.61 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 58 minutes on foot in a direct line.
What does the property actually have in the flat?+
A kitchen with a microwave and refrigerator, a washing machine, a balcony and terrace, a TV and radio, and a bathroom with a shower, WC, toiletries and slippers. Wifi and car parking are free. There are non smoking rooms and wheelchair accessible rooms. There is no restaurant, bar or gym on the property.
Can I stay here without a car?+
Not comfortably. The street is wide industrial land with sheds, and it is industrial and unlit in stretches after dark, so the site's own line is daylight only outside, and a car back. If you are relying on walking to eat or to reach the centre, this is the wrong property.
How do I check availability and cancel if plans change?+
Availability is live through app.impt.io, and most rooms here can be cancelled free. You can compare room types there before you book. The property has one star rating, four, and twelve photos on file, so look at the room you are actually reserving rather than the building as a whole.
