A three star duplex in Riverside Gardens, Greater Nairobi, outside the quarter this site maps. It lists parking, a shuttle, cleaning and concierge. Whether it suits you comes down to how you feel about not being able to walk to the centre, because the centre is a daytime quarter and the distance is real. Suits drivers, not walkers.
01What it is
Casa Misa Riverside Duplex lists the practical end of a hotel: cleaning, a concierge, free car parking, parking, a shuttle service, a smoking area and wheelchair access. It is a three star property in Riverside Gardens, Greater Nairobi, not in the central quarter. There is no restaurant, bar or gym on the list, and no pool, so treat the facility sheet as thin on the things you would use on a long afternoon indoors. Twelve photographs are on file. Group the list by what it means: somewhere to leave a car, someone at a desk, and help getting out and back.
For a stay, Casa Misa Riverside Duplex is a base for someone who arrives with a vehicle and wants Riverside Gardens rather than the centre. The 2.54 km from Biashara Street and City Market, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers, and the 3.16 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 40 minutes on foot in a direct line, are both real gaps on foot, and this is a daytime quarter: the halls shut in the late afternoon and the streets empty with them. Book it if you are driving or using the shuttle. Do not book it if you want the centre on foot at night.

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.
