Sana Home by Edmor Suites is a 3 star property in Greater Nairobi with parking, a shuttle and a terrace. What decides it is the distance and the after dark character of the quarter: this side of town suits a driver or a booked shuttle, and does not suit anyone set on walking home late.
01What it is
Sana Home by Edmor Suites lists car parking, and free car parking on top of that, which is worth more here than the phrase suggests. It also lists a shuttle service, a smoking area, a terrace and wheelchair access. That is the whole of the list. There is no restaurant, no bar, no gym and no room service recorded, so the facilities stop at getting you there, parking you and giving you somewhere to sit outside.
For the right visitor, that is enough. Sana Home by Edmor Suites works if you are arriving by car or with a shuttle arranged and you want a quiet base in Greater Nairobi rather than a room in the middle of the commercial quarter. It works less well if you intend to spend your days on Biashara Street and around City Market: 2.66 km from Biashara Street and City Market, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers, is a trip each way, not a stroll out of the door. It also works less well if you want the centre in the evening, because this is a daytime quarter. The halls shut in the late afternoon and the streets empty with them. Book Sana Home by Edmor Suites for the parking and the shuttle, not for the location.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels sit outside the ten quarters of the centre this site covers. Biashara Street and City Market is only the nearest of the ten, and it is where you would be heading, not where you are sleeping. Take that as the shape of your stay: you are in the wider city, just outside the ten quarters, on the edge of the centre, and anything in the CBD means travelling in and out rather than stepping out of a lobby.
The quarter itself is the market one, 0.63 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 8 minutes on foot in a direct line. 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. The streets are narrow, shaded, and the only part of the centre where the shops are still one-family wide. It suits kikoi and kitenge cloth, curios without the tour-bus markup, and an hour of architecture. It is a daytime quarter: the halls shut in the late afternoon and the streets empty with them, so plan the return before that.

06Questions
Where exactly is Sana Home by Edmor Suites?+
It sits on 04 Maua Cl in Greater Nairobi, outside the commercial core rather than in it. The address is 3.17 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 40 minutes on foot in a direct line, so treat the centre as a separate trip rather than something on your doorstep. A car or the shuttle is the practical way in.
What does the property actually provide?+
The listed facilities are car parking, free car parking, a shuttle service, a smoking area, a terrace and wheelchair access. There is no restaurant, bar or gym on the list, so plan meals elsewhere. The free parking is the most useful item for anyone arriving with a vehicle.
Can I walk into the central business district from here?+
You can, but the distances are real rather than short. The nearest quarter this site covers is 2.66 km from Biashara Street and City Market, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. Coming back after dark is the harder half, because this is a daytime quarter.
How do I check whether a room is available?+
Check availability and book through app.impt.io, where the rooms for Sana Home by Edmor Suites are listed. Cancellation terms are set out there for each room, and most rooms can be cancelled free. Confirm your dates before you arrange the shuttle or parking, since both depend on the booking.
