A one bedroom condo in a Kileleshwa block with a pool, a gym and parking, in Greater Nairobi rather than the centre. Whether it is right for you comes down to one thing: you need a car, because the nearest quarter this site covers is 3.42 km from Biashara Street and City Market.
01What it is
Nairobi City view1 BDRM condo with pool and gym is a four star apartment in the Moon Valley Apartment Kileleshwa Mandera block, and the list leans residential: air conditioning, a balcony, a lounge, a garden, lifts, non smoking rooms and family rooms. Practical things are covered, with free wifi, free car parking, housekeeping, laundry service, an iron and board, a safe and a 24 hour front desk. There is a pool, a kids pool and a gym. Bars and a concierge are listed. The list is thin on the working side and on food: no meeting or desk provision and no restaurant, so you eat out or cook in.
For a stay here, Nairobi City view1 BDRM condo with pool and gym works as a base you drive from, not one you walk out of. The 24 hour front desk, lift, parking and security features suit a late arrival, and the pool, gym and family rooms suit a longer stay with children or a stretch of work. It does not suit anyone without a car, or anyone who wants the shops, halls and offices of the centre on foot, since the nearest quarter is 3.42 km from Biashara Street and City Market.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
Before you book, be clear about where these hotels are. They sit well outside the centre, in the inner suburbs, and they are not in any of the ten quarters this site covers. Biashara Street and City Market is only the nearest of those quarters, which is not the same as being in it. You are in the wider city here, and every trip into the Central Business District is a journey in and out.
The market quarter itself is narrow, shaded, and the only part of the centre where the shops are still one-family wide. The oldest retail streets in the city: Biashara for cloth and haberdashery, Muindi Mbingu for flowers, and the 1930s City Market hall behind them for produce, curios and a fish counter. Jamia Mosque's three silver domes close the block. It is best for kikoi and kitenge cloth, curios without the tour-bus markup, and an hour of architecture. After dark it is a daytime quarter: the halls shut in the late afternoon and the streets empty with them. It lies 0.63 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 8 minutes on foot in a direct line.

Book this one directly if you know you will have a car, because the free parking and 24 hour front desk are the reason the address works, and confirm before you pay that the pool and gym are open on your dates. 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.
