A three star apartment address on First Parklands Ave, north of the centre in Greater Nairobi, with a front desk that never closes, parking, and a shuttle. It suits you if you have your own transport or want a car arranged. It does not suit you if you want to step out of the door into the centre on foot.
01What it is
Shayona Apartments Limited Nairobi is a three star property on First Parklands Ave. The list is practical rather than long: a 24 Hour Front Desk, free car parking, a restaurant, a shuttle service, a terrace, a smoking area and wheelchair access, with pets not allowed. There is no pool, no gym, no bar, no meeting space and no airport pickup named beyond the shuttle, and no guest score is given, so you are working from facilities alone. The parking is the strongest item here, and the terrace the only outdoor space named. Twelve photos are on file if you want to see the rooms before deciding.
For someone staying at Shayona Apartments Limited Nairobi, that set of facts points to a car. The address sits in Greater Nairobi, 2.45 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 31 minutes on foot in a direct line, and 1.83 km from Ngara and the Globe, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. The area is a transport edge rather than an evening one, so cross it by car. Book it if you want parking, a desk that stays open and a shuttle, or a longer stay with your own vehicle. Skip it if your plan is to walk out into the centre in the evening.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels sit outside the ten quarters of the centre this site covers, on the edge of the centre in the wider city, and Ngara and the Globe is only the nearest of the ten quarters, not the one you are sleeping in. Treat it as a base you travel in and out of: anything in the CBD means a crossing by car rather than a walk from your door.
Ngara and the Globe is the northern edge of the grid, where the grid loosens and the roads north begin, and the Globe Cinema roundabout is the CBD's northern hinge. The fruit market beside it opens at four in the morning, Museum Hill is the next rise beyond, and the street feel is a flyover, a roundabout, and a market that starts before the light does. It suits early markets and the walk up to the National Museum, and after dark it is a transport edge rather than an evening one, to be crossed by car. The quarter itself lies 0.81 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 11 minutes on foot in a direct line.
