A furnished apartment style stay on Airport North Road, well outside the centre, with a kitchen and parking rather than hotel service. The distance decides it: if your days are in Embakasi or along the airport corridor it works, and if you came for the CBD it does not.
01What it is
Songeza Furnished Accommodation embakasi is a three star address on Airport North Road, and the listing is mostly the practical furniture of a self catering flat. There is a kitchen with a microwave and a refrigerator, a bathroom with a shower and WC, towels provided, a TV, non smoking rooms and free wifi. Parking is free and there is internet access. Pets are allowed, which is rare here, and a smoke detector is listed. The list is thin on anything else: no restaurant, no bar, no reception detail, no laundry, no gym, nothing about staff or service hours.
What that adds up to for you is a place to sleep, cook and park, not a place to be looked after. Songeza Furnished Accommodation embakasi suits a longer stay, a family or a group with a car, someone working in Embakasi or moving through the airport side of the city, and anyone travelling with a pet. It does not suit a first visit built on the centre. Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue is 9.59 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 120 minutes on foot in a direct line, and this site's own line on the area is blunt: closed, dark and not a place to be, mornings only. Come for the day, leave before evening.

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 this one only if you have already decided the Embakasi side is where your days will be, because there is nothing here to make up for a long commute. 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.
Facts on this page come from the booking supplier's record: star class, address, photographs and facility list. Guest scores come from verified stays. Nobody from this site has stayed here; the quarter copy around it is this site's own.
06Questions
Where exactly is Songeza Furnished Accommodation embakasi?+
It is on Airport North Road in Greater Nairobi, on the Embakasi side of the city rather than in the Central Business District. It sits 8.37 km from Muthurwa and the east markets, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers, so you are working from the outer edge inward.
What does the property actually provide?+
A kitchen with microwave and refrigerator, a bathroom with shower and WC, towels, a TV, free wifi and internet access, free car parking, non smoking rooms, a smoke detector, and pets are allowed. There is no restaurant, bar or similar facility on the list, so plan to cook or eat out.
Can I stay here without a car?+
It is possible but awkward. The property is 9.59 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 120 minutes on foot in a direct line, and the street itself is a market and haulage road that empties early. Free parking is listed, which tells you what most guests arrive with.
How do I check availability?+
Availability and free cancellation are handled through app.impt.io, where the booking is confirmed. There are no rates published on this site, so treat anything you see elsewhere as unverified and confirm the details of your stay at the point of booking.
