A newly furnished one bedroom on Mirema Road, out in Greater Nairobi rather than in the centre, with a kitchen, parking and security on the list. The distance is what decides it: if you have a car and want a self-catering base rather than a hotel, it works; if you mean to walk the central quarter, it does not.
01What it is
Newly Furnished 1 bedroom is a four star apartment on Mirema Road, in the part of the city this site calls Greater Nairobi rather than the centre itself. The list is weighted towards living rather than hotel service: a kitchen and kitchenette, microwave, refrigerator, desk, TV and radio, a balcony, and family rooms with a cot available. Practical items are covered too, with free wifi and internet access, free car parking, a lift, 24 hour security and security features, a safe, smoke detector and first aid. Breakfast, cleaning, laundry and room service are listed, and pets are allowed. Where it is thin is on the hotel side: there is no restaurant, no bar and no gym on the list, so the eating and drinking happen in the apartment or out along the road.
What that adds up to is a self-contained flat with hotel plumbing attached: you cook or you go out, you park for nothing, and a lift and a guard cover the building. Newly Furnished 1 bedroom suits anyone staying several nights with a car, a family needing the cot and the separate room, or someone working from the desk rather than from a lobby. It does not suit a first-time visitor who wants to step out into the central quarter, and it does not suit anyone without transport, because the address is a transport edge and the evening is spent somewhere else. Treat it as a base, not a location.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels are not in Ngara and the Globe, and they are not in any of the ten quarters this site covers. They sit a long way out, in the wider city, and Ngara and the Globe is only the nearest of the ten. Treat that as the honest starting point: you are outside the centre, and anything you want in the CBD means travelling in and back out again.
The quarter itself is the northern edge, where the grid loosens and the roads north begin. The Globe Cinema roundabout is the CBD's northern hinge, the fruit market beside it opens at four in the morning, and Museum Hill is the next rise beyond. The street feel is a flyover, a roundabout, and a market that starts before the light does. It suits early markets and the walk up to the National Museum, and it is a transport edge rather than an evening one, crossed by car. The quarter sits 0.81 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 11 minutes on foot in a direct line, but that measures the quarter, not your hotel.

Book this one only once you have settled how you will get in and out, because the address is the whole decision here. 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 this one bedroom?+
On Mirema Road, in Greater Nairobi. It sits 10.55 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 132 minutes on foot in a direct line, and 9.83 km from Ngara and the Globe, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. Plan on a car.
What is in the apartment itself?+
A kitchen and kitchenette with a microwave and refrigerator, a desk, TV and radio, a balcony, and family rooms with a cot. Wifi and internet access are free, and there is a lift, a safe, a smoke detector and first aid on the property.
Is parking available, and is it free?+
Yes. Free car parking is on the list, along with 24 hour security and security features, so a car can stay on site rather than on the street. That matters here, because the surroundings are a transport edge rather than an evening one, and you cross it by car.
How do I check availability for my dates?+
Availability is checked through app.impt.io, where you can see which rooms are open for your nights and confirm one. The property lists twelve photos on file, so you can look at the apartment before deciding whether the Greater Nairobi position works for your trip.
