A four star property on Sports Road in Greater Nairobi, with an outdoor pool, a gym and a games room on its list. It sits well outside the centre, so the thing that decides whether it is right for you is whether you have a car. Without one, the quarter is a hike.
01What it is
Stone Age Nairobi Rooftop Swimming Pool & Lounge Gym Games room Office Space is a four star property on Sports Road in Greater Nairobi. Its list is long and leans domestic: outdoor pool and kids pool, pool bar and bars, restaurant, breakfast and breakfast in room, dinner, coffee, room service. There is a kitchen and kitchenette, washing machine, iron and board, cot, family rooms, air conditioning, TV, balcony, terrace and garden. Working kit runs to a business center, office space, banquet space, currency exchange, car rental, bike rental and shuttle service. The leisure list is scattered: fitness center, games room, bowling, archery, golf course, horse back riding, spa, picnic area and a chapel. 24 hour front desk, 24H security, housekeeping, laundry, dry cleaning, lifts, luggage storage, safe, smoke detector, non smoking rooms and wheelchair access are all there. Pets are allowed and car parking is free.
That adds up to a property built for people with their own transport or a driver, and for families who want the pool, the games room and the kitchen. Stone Age Nairobi Rooftop Swimming Pool & Lounge Gym Games room Office Space keeps its own compound, so you get security, parking and space to spread out rather than a position in the centre. Its weakness is the same as its strength: it is 3.78 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 48 minutes on foot in a direct line. You might also note that several listed facilities, including a chapel, bowling and a golf course, sound like a generic supplier list rather than four star reality. Suits car borne families and longer stays. Does not suit anyone who wants to walk out into the city.

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.

Booking this one is mostly about being clear that you want the compound and not the centre, so check the room type and how you will get around before you confirm. 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.
