Serviced apartments in Greater Nairobi, away from the centre and built for people staying a while rather than a night. Full kitchens, laundry, parking and a pool decide it: good for families and long stays, wrong if you want to walk to the Central Business District.
01What it is
Syokimau Furnished Apartments is a four star apartment property in Greater Nairobi, not in the centre itself. The list is long on the things a longer stay needs: a kitchen or kitchenette with oven, microwave, refrigerator and washing machine, air conditioning, balcony, terrace, garden, outdoor pool, fitness center and spa. It also carries 24 hour front desk and security, free wifi, free car parking, housekeeping, laundry and dry cleaning, a business center, cots and family rooms. Where it thins out: the bars, salon, market and golf course sit on the list as bare names, and a children's pool and horse riding read as padding rather than anything you can plan around.
For someone staying here, Syokimau Furnished Apartments works as a self-contained base rather than a hotel you use for sleep and leave. You cook, you wash clothes, you park the car, and the apartment holds a family or a work trip that runs for weeks. It sits 15.58 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 195 minutes on foot in a direct line, so the centre is not something you walk to. It suits long stays, families and anyone with a car or a driver. It does not suit a short city break built on the Central Business District.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels are not in Muthurwa and the east markets, and they are not in any of the ten quarters of the centre this site covers. They sit a long way out, in the wider city, and Muthurwa and the east markets is only the nearest of the ten. That is the whole point of the distinction: you are sleeping outside the grid, and you will be travelling in and out for anything in the CBD.
The quarter itself is the eastern edge of the grid: wholesale produce, bus termini, before dawn. Trucks, handcarts and the entire city’s vegetables changing hands at 5am. It is the wholesale edge, where Muthurwa’s market and the country bus termini push up against the railway land, and it feeds the rest of the grid. Best for an early-morning market walk with someone who knows it. After dark it is closed, dark and not a place to be, and mornings are the only sensible time. Muthurwa sits 1.23 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 16 minutes on foot in a direct line, and that figure describes the quarter, not your journey from these hotels.

Book Syokimau Furnished Apartments the way you would book any apartment rather than a room, because that is what decides whether the trip works. 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 exactly is Syokimau Furnished Apartments?+
It is in Greater Nairobi, on Indesign Makumbi Park Apartments Syokimau, well outside the Central Business District. It sits 14.52 km from Muthurwa and the east markets, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers, so treat it as an apartment base you reach by car or shuttle, not one you walk from into town.
What does the property actually provide?+
The apartments list full kitchens or kitchenettes with oven, microwave and refrigerator, plus washing machine, air conditioning, balcony or terrace, pool, fitness center and spa. Free wifi, free parking, 24 hour front desk and security, housekeeping, laundry, dry cleaning and a business center are also listed. Some entries, such as the golf course and market, are unelaborated.
Can I get into the centre easily from here?+
Expect to travel by vehicle. The property is 15.58 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 195 minutes on foot in a direct line, so walking in is not realistic for a day in the Central Business District. Car rental service and shuttle service are both listed, and free car parking is included if you bring or hire a car.
How do I check availability and cancel if plans change?+
Book through app.impt.io. Most rooms here can be cancelled free, so you can hold an apartment while you settle dates. Availability, apartment type and any conditions are shown at the point of booking, and the 24 hour front desk handles arrival questions once your booking is confirmed.
