A serviced one bedroom in a new concrete block in Kindaruma, east of the centre and away from the hotel strip. What decides it is the car: with your own vehicle the parking and the wider Greater Nairobi roads make sense, without one the address sits off the quarter this site covers.
01What it is
One Bedroom near Yaya centre Kindaruma Homes Apartments is a four star apartment, not a hotel room, and the list reads accordingly: a kitchen and kitchenette, microwave, refrigerator, washing machine, iron and board, and a cleaning service on hand. You get free wifi, a desk, a safe, a TV, towels and toiletries, a bathroom with shower, WC and bidet, slippers, carpeted floors, a balcony and a terrace, and lifts to the block. 24H security, free car parking and wheelchair accessible access are listed. The list is thin on the things a hotel supplies without asking: no restaurant, no bar, no gym, no pool and no front desk named in it, so plan to eat in or go out for meals.
For the right visitor that gap is the point. One Bedroom near Yaya centre Kindaruma Homes Apartments suits someone staying in Greater Nairobi for more than a night or two who wants a kitchen, a washing machine and a parking space rather than daily hotel service. It suits a family or a couple with a car, and anyone working from the desk with the wifi on. It does not suit a short first visit built around walking the centre, or anyone who wants a bar downstairs and a restaurant in the building. The nearest of the ten quarters this site covers is Upper Hill and Community, and the drive matters more than the address here.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels are not in Upper Hill and Community, and they are not in any of the ten quarters this site covers. They sit just outside the ten quarters, on the edge of the centre, and Upper Hill and Community is only the nearest of the ten. That puts you in the wider city rather than in the grid itself, so anything in the CBD means travelling in and out rather than stepping out of a lobby into it.
The ridge above the centre is new concrete, built for the car and the conference room: the tallest towers in the country, the big hospitals, the aid agencies, and an expressway ramp to the airport. It is best for meetings, a quiet night close in, and a fast run to the airport, and after dark it is safe and dull, hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. The quarter sits 1.9 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 24 minutes on foot in a direct line, though that is the quarter's own distance and not a walk from these hotels.

06Questions
Where exactly is One Bedroom near Yaya centre Kindaruma Homes Apartments?+
The address is Kindaruma Homes Apartments 12Th Block D, in Greater Nairobi. That puts it 3.54 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 45 minutes on foot in a direct line, and away from the hotel bars and offices of the centre. Treat it as a base reached by car rather than on foot.
Is this an apartment or a hotel room?+
It is a one bedroom apartment in a block, listed as a four star property. You get a kitchen and kitchenette, microwave, refrigerator, washing machine and iron and board, plus towels, toiletries and cleaning. There is no restaurant, bar or gym in the listed facilities, so meals are your own arrangement.
Do I need a car to stay here?+
It helps. Free car parking is listed, and the street is new concrete on a ridge built for the car and the conference room. After dark the immediate area is safe and dull, with hotel bars and a ride anywhere else, so without a vehicle you are relying on lifts and driving for everything outside the block.
How do I check availability and cancel?+
Availability is shown through app.impt.io, where you book. Most rooms here can be cancelled free, so check the terms on your dates before you commit. There are twelve photos on file showing the apartment, the balcony, the terrace and the block, which is a fair picture of what you are taking.
