    This one of the best identities of the City. Most public vehicle stops are here, at Odeon you can access vehicles for most routes in and out of the city. There are shops too, many stalls hence you can buy accessories, clothes, shoes, among many others. In addition, you can get fast foods and restaurants here. Welcome to Nairobi city πŸ™οΈ

    This is another crowded part of Nairobi city that you should really look out for your pockets or bag while walking.

    Very good visible landmark, especially for guys who ain't familiar with the city thus can meet up here. couple of fast food joints in and around the building for snacks and cold and hot beverages. Usually congested during evening hours, especially when it's raining.

    The area is busy, full of matatus, hawkers, pickpockets and thugs. Be careful with your bag or luggage and DO NOT attempt to answer your phone around this area unless you want to donate it of course. Be mindful of the matatus lest you get hit.

    It no longer serves as a cinema hall but serves as a good landmark for many people finding their way around town or meeting with another.A very busy spot. Be careful though when you are around this place. Many pickpockets hover around taking advantage of the busy stop there. Around here is where you can get the cheapest fries in town. A favourite spot for people in town tight on budget. Here one can get fries at less than 100 bob. This is also where you pick Matatus heading to Kangemi, Dagoretti B and others from.

    It's a safe place. You can board a bus or a matatu from here to your destination with ease. There is also a hotel where you can enjoy a nice warm meal. There are a variety of snacks that you can buy too

  • 3/5 Kennie 1. 10 months ago on Google
    Crowded. Fairly safe. Personal vehicles should avoid it though. There's a lot of jam but moving probably at 10-15km/h. While using you phone, raise your window. Could get snatched but you'll never be harmed here. For someone looking to buy some second hand clothing from 5 pm in the evening there's a busy market😁. Route connections buy the buses here will take you to Ruiru, Westland, Kahawa West, Lavington,

  • 5/5 EDWIN K. 2 years ago on Google
    Situated in the busy commercial area of the city, the Odeon has five performances at the weekend and four during the week. It doesn't show the latest releases but has a reasonable choice of action, drama, and romantic films. The quality of the film is not the best in the world but it's cheap with tickets ranging as low as Ksh 80. Snacks (meat pies, popcorn and French fries) and soft drinks (fruit juices, soda) are available.

    Odeon represents a normal Kenyan ordinary persons street. Quite populated with like everybody and everything. You can get great deals with the evening hawkers. Also, in case you need to eat/drink, there are enough hotels/fast-food joints in the area.

    Odeon Cinema bus stage serves the Kangemi, Parklands, Aga Khan, Uthira, and those western and northwestern outskirts of Nairobi City.

  • 3/5 Kate O. 2 years ago on Google
    Odeon is a bus and most of the vehicles transit through Thika Road, Kileleshwa and Lavington among others. Other than that the area is full of cars making it impossible to find parking space. There are quite a number of hotels there since it's a very busy street. Some beauty products are also sold around this area. Hawkers throng this area.

  • 5/5 Njuguna p. 1 year ago on Google
    Odeon cinema is one of the busiest spot in town . It hosts a bunch of city outskirts Public service vehicle terminals.

  • 4/5 Karen G. 2 years ago on Google
    This is the point at which I pick my favourite public transportation. LOPHA bus service, these people are so organized, the buses are clean, you have to queue in an organized way and they're serious about order. Their buses are many so you can't queue for long. The staff are friendly, helpful quiet polite and they don't touch their clients. Good job LOPHA!

  • 5/5 Captain C. 2 years ago on Google
    It's one of the oldest cinemas in Kenya, the vintage touches bring about a nostalgic feeling for those who've been there before. Its location is quite inconveniencing but it's a really awesome place to be at. By inconveniencing I mean it is located in a very crowded area and almost always busy with people and vehicles.

  • 5/5 Ambrose M. 1 year ago on Google
    Alot of traffic in the morning and late evening hours Long queues of people lining up waiting to board Mattis to their homes from cbd town in the evening

    Watching and shopping around Odeon gives better outrages of being in Nairobi. You can't get lost because it is like an epicenter of my bearing while I am in Nairobi
