A three star apartment block in Spring Estate Kasarani, out on the transport side of Greater Nairobi. It lists free car parking, parking, and wheelchair access, and that is the whole of its facility list. Whether it suits you turns on whether you have a car and on whether you want the centre at all.
01What it is
Stay.Plus Contour Apartment Kasarani is a three star property on Spring Estate Kasarani in Greater Nairobi, and its listed facilities come to three things: free car parking, parking, and wheelchair accessible. The parking entry is the useful one. It means you are not hunting for a space on a street that fills before daylight, and anyone travelling with a wheelchair gets step-free access rather than a promise of help. The list is thin beyond that. There is no restaurant, no bar, no airport transfer and no gym named, so treat the apartment as the practical part of the stay and expect to go out for everything else.
Stay.Plus Contour Apartment Kasarani is placed for a driver, not for someone on foot. It stands 10.72 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 134 minutes on foot in a direct line, so the centre is a car journey rather than a stroll. What it suits is a longer stay in Greater Nairobi with your own transport, or a base for work on this side of the city. It does not suit a first visit built around walking the Central Business District. The halls there shut in the late afternoon, and you would be crossing the city twice a day to reach them.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels are not in Ngara and the Globe, and they are not in any of the ten quarters this site covers. They sit a long way out, in the wider city, and Ngara and the Globe is only the nearest of the ten. Treat that as the honest starting point: you are outside the centre, and anything you want in the CBD means travelling in and back out again.
The quarter itself is the northern edge, where the grid loosens and the roads north begin. The Globe Cinema roundabout is the CBD's northern hinge, the fruit market beside it opens at four in the morning, and Museum Hill is the next rise beyond. 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 it is a transport edge rather than an evening one, crossed by car. The quarter sits 0.81 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 11 minutes on foot in a direct line, but that measures the quarter, not your hotel.

Book this one if you are arriving with a car and want the parking place confirmed rather than hoped for. 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 in Nairobi is Stay.Plus Contour Apartment Kasarani?+
It is on Spring Estate Kasarani, in Greater Nairobi, on the northern transport edge. It stands 10.07 km from Ngara and the Globe, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. A flyover, a roundabout and a market that starts before the light does mark the immediate area.
What facilities does the property actually list?+
Three: free car parking, parking, and wheelchair accessible. Nothing else is listed, so there is no restaurant, bar, gym or transfer to count on. Plan on parking your own car and going out for meals, and check directly with the property if you need something beyond those three.
Is it practical without a car?+
Not really. The distance from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue is 10.72 km, which is 134 minutes on foot in a direct line, and this is a transport edge rather than an evening one. Cross it by car. Without one, the apartment is the wrong side of the city for the centre.
How do I check availability for Stay.Plus Contour Apartment Kasarani?+
Book through app.impt.io, which handles the rooms and the cancellation terms. Most rooms can be cancelled free. Availability and the exact room type show there, so you can confirm what is open for your dates before you commit to the Kasarani side of the city.
