These are three star serviced apartments on Mombasa Road beside Nextgen Mall, south of the centre with kitchens and a pool. What decides it is your car: this is Greater Nairobi, not the Central Business District, and nobody walks the last stretch.
01What it is
The Curve by the Park Apartments is a three star apartment property on Mombasa Road, next to Nextgen Mall near the Southern Bypass. The listed facilities are the ones a self catering stay needs: a kitchen with oven, microwave, refrigerator and washing machine, a bathroom with shower, WC, toiletries and towels, plus air conditioning, a desk, TV, iron and board, lifts and non smoking rooms. There is an outdoor pool. The list is thin in the ways apartment listings usually are: no restaurant, no bar, no gym, no airport transfer, nothing about parking or security. The property supplies the rooms and the pool, and you supply the rest.
For someone staying here, that means a working base rather than a hotel with services. If you are in Nairobi for weeks rather than nights, or moving between the city and the industrial and logistics land along Mombasa Road, The Curve by the Park Apartments covers the practical side: you cook, you wash, you sleep in air conditioning, you swim if the day allows. If you want the Central Business District on foot, or a bar downstairs, or a doorman who calls you a cab, this is the wrong address. The verdict is simple: suit yourself to a car and a longer stay, and it works.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels are not in the centre. They sit well outside it, in the inner suburbs, past the ten quarters this site covers. The nearest of those quarters, for orientation only, is The Railway Quarter, on the southern edge of the grid, and that is as close as the connection goes. You are in the wider city here. Anything in the CBD means travelling in and out, so plan the day around that rather than around a short step from your room.
The Railway Quarter itself is wide industrial land, sheds, and the reason any of this is here, the museum, and understanding the city's whole layout in one afternoon. Nairobi exists because the Uganda Railway stopped here in 1899 to gather strength for the Rift; the 1929 station, the old yards and the museum of locomotives sit on the CBD's southern boundary, ten minutes below Kenyatta Avenue. After dark it is industrial and unlit in stretches, so keep it to daylight and a car back.

06Questions
Where exactly is The Curve by the Park Apartments?+
On Mombasa Road, next to Nextgen Mall and close to the Southern Bypass, in Greater Nairobi rather than the centre. It sits 4.42 km from The Railway Quarter, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. Treat it as a base reached by car.
What is in the apartments?+
Each unit is listed with a kitchen including oven, microwave and refrigerator, a washing machine, a bathroom with shower, WC, toiletries and towels, air conditioning, a desk, TV and iron and board. The building has lifts, non smoking rooms and an outdoor pool. There is no restaurant or bar listed.
Can you walk into the Central Business District from here?+
It is 5.27 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 66 minutes on foot in a direct line, and the street itself is wide industrial land with sheds. There is nothing to walk to. Plan on a car during the day, and a car after dark, when stretches of the road are unlit.
How do you check availability?+
