A one bed apartment in Thome, a residential estate west of the centre. Whether it suits you turns on whether you have a car, because the centre is far and the nearest quarter is Ngara.
01What it is
Stunning 1 Bed Apartment in Thome Nairobi Kenya is a four star self catering flat in Block A White House, Thome Estate. The list is practical rather than hotel like: a balcony, a bathroom with shower, WC and towels, a kitchen with an oven, microwave and refrigerator, an iron and board, a TV, free wifi and internet access, non smoking rooms, and free car parking. Pets are allowed, which is rare here. Where the list is thin is in services: no restaurant, no bar, no gym, no airport transfer, nothing that runs on a schedule but you.
For a stay in Greater Nairobi this reads as a base for someone who wants space and a kitchen and will drive to whatever they came for. It is not a place to walk out of into the centre. It is 7.56 km from Ngara and the Globe, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers, and 8.26 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 104 minutes on foot in a direct line. Take a car or take a ride. Suits self caterers, longer stays, and anyone travelling with a pet. Does not suit anyone who wants the centre on the doorstep or a lobby to sit in.

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 directly if you have already worked out how you will get around, because the estate is not a walking base. 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.
