A three star serviced apartment on the third floor of Triad Apartments in Fedha, with a kitchen, free parking and a gym. The 9.25 km to Kenyatta Avenue is what decides it: this suits someone with a car or a reason to be out this way, not a first visitor.
01What it is
Triad Glam is a three star apartment on the third floor of Triad Apartments in Fedha, in Greater Nairobi rather than the centre. The list runs to self catering: a kitchen, microwave, refrigerator, bathroom with shower and WC, towels, slippers, TV, carpets, non smoking rooms and cleaning. Building side there is a 24 hour front desk, 24 hour security, lifts, free wifi, free car parking and a laundry service. It also lists a fitness centre, sauna, pool bar, terrace and a shuttle service.
What that adds up to is a flat with a desk and a guard, well outside the middle of the city. Triad Glam sits 8.03 km from Muthurwa and the east markets, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers, and 9.25 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 116 minutes on foot in a direct line. Choose Triad Glam for a longer stay with your own transport, or for work that keeps you north east of the centre. Look elsewhere for a first trip to Nairobi, for a walk to the museums and offices, or for any evening out on foot.

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.

For Triad Glam, book online rather than on arrival, because the front desk runs around the clock and a confirmed reservation is the thing that holds your apartment. 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.
Facts on this page come from the booking supplier's record: star class, address, photographs and facility list. Guest scores come from verified stays. Nobody from this site has stayed here; the quarter copy around it is this site's own.
06Questions
Where exactly is Triad Glam in Nairobi?+
It is on the third floor of Triad Apartments in Fedha, in Greater Nairobi rather than in the Central Business District. The site puts it 8.03 km from Muthurwa and the east markets, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers, so treat it as a base outside the centre.
What is in the apartments at Triad Glam?+
Each unit is set up for self catering, with a kitchen, microwave, refrigerator, private bathroom with shower and WC, towels, slippers, TV and carpeted rooms. The building adds free wifi, free car parking, lifts, cleaning, a laundry service and a 24 hour front desk with round the clock security.
How do I get from Triad Glam into the centre?+
Expect to drive or take a shuttle rather than walk. The site records the property as 9.25 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 116 minutes on foot in a direct line. The listed shuttle service and free parking are the two facilities that matter most for that.
