A studio in Syokimau, south of the city in Greater Nairobi, with a kitchen, parking and a pool. What decides it is the location: this is 15.36 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 192 minutes on foot in a direct line, so you are not staying here to walk the centre.
01What it is
Pamoja Stays Modern Studio Near AirPort & SGR is listed as a 4 star property in the Artesano Syokimau development in Greater Nairobi. The facilities run to a kitchen and kitchenette, air conditioning, free wifi, a TV, a minibar, a washing machine, non smoking rooms and lifts. Outside there is a balcony, a terrace and a garden, plus a swimming pool. Free car parking is listed, and pets are allowed. Where the list is thin is anything suggesting a serviced hotel: no restaurant, no bar, no gym, no airport transfer, and no guest score on file.
What this adds up to is a self contained apartment rather than a hotel with staff around it. For someone driving in and out of the city, or breaking a journey near the airport and the SGR terminus, Pamoja Stays Modern Studio Near AirPort & SGR works: you park free, cook your own food, and there is a pool and a balcony at the end of the day. It does not suit anyone who wants to step out into the centre. This is the Greater Nairobi edge, not the Central Business District, and the nearest quarter this site covers is 14.29 km from Muthurwa and the east markets, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers.

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.
