A three star studio apartment block on Thika Road in Greater Nairobi, with parking, a garden and lifts. It sits well outside the centre, so the one thing that decides whether it suits you is whether you have a car. Drivers, yes. Anyone planning to walk into town, no.
01What it is
Tsavo Studio Apartment lists express check in and express check out, free car parking, a garden, lifts and a smoking area, and it carries a three star rating. The practical items are the parking and the lifts, which matter in a low rise block and matter more on a road where you will arrive by vehicle. The garden gives you somewhere to sit that is not your room. The list is thin beyond that: no restaurant, no gym, no airport transfer, nothing about the rooms themselves, so what you get beyond these six items is not stated.
For someone staying here, Tsavo Studio Apartment is a base rather than a destination. You drive in, you park, you take the lift, and you use the studio as somewhere to sleep and keep your things. The express check in and check out suit a short stay or a late arrival. It does not suit anyone who wants to step out of the door into the centre, and the smoking area and garden will not carry an evening on their own. Treat the car as essential.

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 Tsavo Studio Apartment if you are driving and want the parking and the lift sorted before you arrive. 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 Tsavo Studio Apartment?+
It is on Thika Road, in Greater Nairobi rather than in the central business district. The site puts it 10.36 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 130 minutes on foot in a direct line, and it is 9.67 km from Ngara and the Globe, the nearest of the ten quarters covered here. Plan on arriving by car.
What does the property actually provide?+
The listed facilities are express check in, express check out, free car parking, a garden, lifts and a smoking area, under a three star rating. That is the whole list. There is no restaurant, no gym and no transfer service mentioned, so do not expect meals or a shuttle to be part of the stay. The parking and the lifts are the two that will matter most.
Can I walk from the property into the centre?+
It is not a walkable base for the central business district. The street itself is a flyover, a roundabout and a market that starts before the light does, and the area is a transport edge rather than an evening one: cross it by car. If you want to be on foot in the centre, stay in the centre instead.
How do I check whether a room is available?+
Availability is shown when you search the dates you need on app.impt.io, and a confirmed booking is what holds the room. The property lists express check in and express check out, which shortens the arrival and departure process, but the times themselves are set by the property and are not published here. Search your dates to see what is open.
