A three star apartment block on Riverside Drive, north of the centre. It lists lifts, parking, wheelchair access and wifi, and it is the parking and the self-contained flats that decide it: if you have a car and want to be out of the halls, this works. If you are on foot, it does not.
01What it is
Casa Misa Riverside Apartments lists the practical things first: parking, lifts, wifi, a luggage room, cleaning and dry cleaning service. It is a non-smoking building, it allows wheelchair access, and pets are not allowed. That is the whole of the listed facilities. There is no restaurant, no bar and no pool on the list, so do not come expecting the hotel to feed you or entertain you; it is a place to sleep and leave from. The three star rating is honest for what is here: a serviceable apartment building rather than a serviced hotel, and the list is thin exactly where a leisure stay would need it to be thick.
For someone staying at Casa Misa Riverside Apartments, that adds up to a self-contained base where the car matters more than the concierge. You park, you take the lift, you use the wifi, and you get your laundry done. The trade is location: Riverside Drive is in Greater Nairobi, not in the quarter itself, 3.15 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 40 minutes on foot in a direct line. It suits people with their own transport, long-stay or working visitors who want a quiet building and a parking space. It does not suit anyone planning to walk out to dinner or to spend the day moving around the centre on foot.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels sit outside the ten quarters of the centre this site covers. Biashara Street and City Market is only the nearest of the ten, and it is where you would be heading, not where you are sleeping. Take that as the shape of your stay: you are in the wider city, just outside the ten quarters, on the edge of the centre, and anything in the CBD means travelling in and out rather than stepping out of a lobby.
The quarter itself is the market one, 0.63 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 8 minutes on foot in a direct line. The oldest retail streets in the city: Biashara for cloth and haberdashery, Muindi Mbingu for flowers, and the 1930s City Market hall behind them for produce, curios and a fish counter. Jamia Mosque's three silver domes close the block. The streets are narrow, shaded, and the only part of the centre where the shops are still one-family wide. It suits kikoi and kitenge cloth, curios without the tour-bus markup, and an hour of architecture. It is a daytime quarter: the halls shut in the late afternoon and the streets empty with them, so plan the return before that.
