A studio apartment in Royal Suburbs Tsavo, with its own kitchen and a parking space, on the transport edge of Greater Nairobi. The address decides this one: you want a car here, because the centre is not walkable and the street is a flyover, a roundabout and a market that starts before the light does.
01What it is
Superb Studio Apartment lists a kitchen and a kitchenette, a refrigerator, a microwave, a bathroom with a shower and a WC, towels and slippers, a safe and an iron and board. The rooms are carpeted and non smoking, with a TV and free wifi. The building has lifts, free car parking, 24 hour security, and cleaning, laundry and dry cleaning services. The list is thin on the things that make a hotel a hotel: there is no restaurant, no bar and no room service of any kind.
What that adds up to is a self contained studio, not a serviced stay. At Superb Studio Apartment you cook, you wash up, and you keep your own hours; the staff cover security and cleaning and not much else. It suits a driver with business on this side of the city, or a longer stay where a kitchen matters more than a lobby. It does not suit anyone without a car, and it does not suit a first visit built around the centre, because the quarter is a car ride away and the evening here is a transport edge rather than an evening.

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.

Can I walk into the centre from here?+
No. The address is a transport edge, with a flyover, a roundabout and an early market, and the site's own line is that you cross it by car. Treat a vehicle as part of the booking, not an optional extra, and plan your days around driving rather than walking.
How do I check availability?+
Use the booking link on this page to enter your dates and see what is open. The property is a studio, so availability is limited to the number of apartments, and it is worth checking early for longer stays. Free cancellation applies to most rooms.
