A three star property on Muthangari Dr in Greater Nairobi, well outside the centre this site covers. What decides it is the car: with one, the parking and the pool make sense. Without one, you are stranded in a residential part of the city.
01What it is
Stay.Plus Stylish Living Nova is a three star property on Muthangari Dr in Greater Nairobi, not in the central business district. The listed facilities are practical rather than social: free car parking and parking, lifts, a wheelchair accessible layout, dry cleaning, and a swimming pool with an outdoor pool attached to it. There is no restaurant listed, no bar, no gym, no airport transfer and no shuttle, so the list stops at the shell of the building and the car. Twelve photographs are on file, which is thin for a property of this size.
What that adds up to is a stay built around a vehicle. Stay.Plus Stylish Living Nova gives you somewhere to leave the car, a lift to your floor, a pool to use at the end of the day and dry cleaning if you are working rather than holidaying. The area is Greater Nairobi, 5.35 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 67 minutes on foot in a direct line, so the centre is a deliberate trip rather than a stroll. It suits drivers, people with business in this part of the city, and anyone who wants quiet over convenience. It does not suit anyone planning to walk to the shops, the market or a bar.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
Before you book, be clear about where these hotels are. They sit well outside the centre, in the inner suburbs, and they are not in any of the ten quarters this site covers. Biashara Street and City Market is only the nearest of those quarters, which is not the same as being in it. You are in the wider city here, and every trip into the Central Business District is a journey in and out.
The market quarter itself is narrow, shaded, and the only part of the centre where the shops are still one-family wide. 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. It is best for kikoi and kitenge cloth, curios without the tour-bus markup, and an hour of architecture. After dark it is a daytime quarter: the halls shut in the late afternoon and the streets empty with them. It lies 0.63 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 8 minutes on foot in a direct line.

Book this one only if you have confirmed how you will move between Muthangari Dr and the centre, because the property itself will not solve that for you. 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 is Stay.Plus Stylish Living Nova?+
It is on Muthangari Dr in Greater Nairobi, outside the central business district. It sits 4.73 km from Biashara Street and City Market, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers, so the centre is a separate journey rather than something on your doorstep.
What facilities does the property list?+
Free car parking and parking, lifts, a wheelchair accessible layout, dry cleaning, and a swimming pool with an outdoor pool listed alongside it. There is no restaurant, bar or gym on the list, so plan meals and evenings elsewhere rather than expecting them in the building.
What is the area around Muthangari Dr like?+
Narrow, shaded, and the only part of the centre where the shops are still one-family wide. It is a daytime quarter: the halls shut in the late afternoon and the streets empty with them. That combination gives you a calm base but very little within walking distance after dark.
How do I check availability for this property?+
Use app.impt.io and select your dates to see what is open. Booking through the app also covers free cancellation on most rooms, the CO2 removal attached to each confirmed booking, and the credit that comes back out of the hotel commission.
