A 3 star hotel on Mirema Drive in Greater Nairobi, well outside the centre this site covers, with free parking, a restaurant, a bar and a 24 hour desk. The one thing that decides it is your car: this is a driving address on a transport edge, and on foot it does not work.
01What it is
5 Pm Hotel is a 3 star property on Mirema Drive in Greater Nairobi, and the list it publishes is mostly the practical sort. There is free car parking and parking, a 24 hour front desk, a concierge, a restaurant and a bar, a smoking area, and towels and sheets provided. It also lists wheelchair access and entertainment activities. Where the list thins out is anything that assumes you will spend the day on foot around the place; there is no garden, no pool, no gym, and nothing that suggests the hotel is a destination in itself.
What that adds up to for a stay at 5 Pm Hotel is a functional, car-dependent base rather than a city base. You get the things that make a night work: somewhere to leave the car, someone on the desk at any hour, food and a drink on site, and a room with the bedding already in it. You do not get the central Nairobi location, and you should not expect to walk to the sights this site writes about. 5 Pm Hotel suits someone driving in or passing through Greater Nairobi who wants parking and an easy check-in, and it does not suit anyone planning to explore the centre on foot.

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 5 Pm Hotel if you are arriving by car and want the parking and the 24 hour desk settled before you travel, rather than working it out on arrival. 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 is 5 Pm Hotel?+
It is on Mirema Drive in Greater Nairobi, 10.78 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 135 minutes on foot in a direct line. It sits outside the centre this site covers rather than in it, so treat it as a Greater Nairobi address and plan your transport accordingly.
What does 5 Pm Hotel have on site?+
The property lists free car parking and parking, a 24 hour front desk, a concierge, a restaurant and a bar, a smoking area, towels and sheets, wheelchair access and entertainment activities. It is a 3 star hotel, so expect the practical essentials rather than anything more.
Can I walk into central Nairobi from here?+
No. The nearest of the ten quarters this site covers is 10.05 km from Ngara and the Globe, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers, and the street itself is a flyover, a roundabout, and a market that starts before the light does. After dark it is a transport edge rather than an evening one, and you cross it by car.
What is the guest score?+
It scores 4.3 out of 5 from 13 reviews. That is a small sample, so read it as a rough signal rather than a settled verdict, and weigh it alongside the location: a car-dependent spot outside the centre will not please everyone.
