A three star apartment block off Mbagathi Road, on the new concrete ridge where Greater Nairobi is built for the car and the conference room. It suits people here to work, to park, and to be driven to meetings. It does not suit anyone who wants the old centre on foot.
01What it is
Sagwe Furnished Apartments is a three star apartment property on the ridge off Mbagathi Road. The list runs to servicing and access: a 24 hour front desk, concierge, luggage storage, lifts, wheelchair access, free wifi and free car parking. It also runs a restaurant and bar on site, plus laundry and dry cleaning. The list is thin on the apartment itself: nothing here describes the kitchens, the room sizes, the cooking equipment or the sleeping arrangements. For a place calling itself furnished apartments, the facilities block says almost nothing about the furniture.
That list adds up to a car and conference base in Greater Nairobi. You park free, you eat and drink in the building, you hand laundry to the desk, and you are driven out to whatever the day needs. It is 1.61 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers, and the quarter it sits in is new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room. After dark it is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. Sagwe Furnished Apartments suits people on work stays who want a serviced base with parking. It does not suit anyone who wants the older centre, the markets and the pavement life.

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.

What does the property actually list?+
A 24 hour front desk, concierge, luggage storage, lifts, wheelchair access, free wifi and free car parking, plus a restaurant, a bar, laundry and dry cleaning. It is the apartment itself that goes undescribed: no detail on kitchens, equipment or room layouts.
Do I need a car to stay here?+
The quarter is built for the car and the conference room, so yes for most trips. Parking is free and on site, which is the main reason to pick this ridge over the old centre. After dark it is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else.
How do I check availability?+
Use the booking link on this page, through app.impt.io. Most rooms can be cancelled free, so you can hold a stay while you sort your meetings. If you need the apartment contents confirmed, ask the front desk directly, since nothing on file describes them.
