A 3 star apartment block in Green City Gardens, out in Greater Nairobi, with a pool, parking and a bar. It decides on distance: it is nowhere near the centre, and the street around it runs on market mornings, not nights.
01What it is
Savannah Airport Apartment lists the practical things first: free car parking, housekeeping, a laundry service, water and a TV. There is a bar or snack cafe, a separate cafe, a terrace, a smoking area and an outdoor pool. You also get an ATM on site, which is the kind of listing that tells you the surroundings are thin. The list is honest but shallow: no restaurant is named, no workspace is named, and the surcharge line means some of it costs extra. The pool is the one facility a visitor would notice, and the parking is the one that matters if you are driving yourself.
What that adds up to is a functional base rather than a place to spend a day. Savannah Airport Apartment sits on the airport side of the city, so it suits someone with a flight, a car and no reason to be in the centre, or someone doing business in this part of Greater Nairobi. It does not suit a visitor who wants to walk to the centre, and it does not suit anyone who wants an evening out: the area is mornings only. If your trip is built around the Central Business District, this is the wrong end of the city.

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.

Book Savannah Airport Apartment if your trip is anchored to the airport side of the city and you want a pool and parking rather than a central address. 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.

06Questions
Where exactly is Savannah Airport Apartment?+
It is on Green City Gardens in Greater Nairobi, on the airport side of the city rather than in the Central Business District. It is 13.85 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 174 minutes on foot in a direct line, so you should treat a car as necessary here.
What facilities does the property actually have?+
It lists free car parking, housekeeping, laundry, water and a TV, plus a bar or snack cafe, a separate cafe, a terrace, a smoking area and an outdoor pool. An ATM sits on site. The list names no restaurant and no workspace, and a surcharge applies to some items.
What is the area around it like?+
Busy in the early morning and closed after dark. This is where trucks, handcarts and the entire city's vegetables change hands at 5am, and the after dark description is blunt: closed, dark and not a place to be. Plan your days around mornings.
How do I check availability for Savannah Airport Apartment?+
Availability is checked through app.impt.io, where the rooms for this property are listed. Look at your dates there before you commit to the airport side of the city, because the distance from the centre is the thing most likely to rule it in or out.
