A four star address on United Nations Avenue, opposite the USA Embassy, and a practical base if your business is with a mission or a nearby office. It is not in the centre; it is a car ride from it, and that is the thing to weigh.
01What it is
De Gold Nest opposite USA Embassy is a four star property on United Nations Avenue, house number C14, and its list is long on the things you use daily. You get free wifi and internet access, a desk, a fan, a TV, a safe, an iron and board, a hairdryer and slippers, plus a kitchen or kitchenette with a microwave, refrigerator and coffee, and a private bathroom with shower, WC and towels. There is free car parking, 24 hour security, a garden, a smoking area, laundry service, cleaning and non smoking rooms. Where the list goes quiet is on the extras a four star badge usually implies: no restaurant, no bar, no gym and no airport transfer appear among the facilities.
For a stay at De Gold Nest opposite USA Embassy, that adds up to self contained rooms with the kitchen side covered, which suits longer visits and anyone who would rather not eat out every night. The location is the deciding factor. It is 6.15 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 77 minutes on foot in a direct line, and the street there 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. Suits embassy and mission business, drivers, and self caterers. Does not suit anyone wanting the centre on foot or a bar downstairs.

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 well outside the centre, in the inner suburbs. Of those ten quarters, Ngara and the Globe is only the nearest, and it is still a separate place: the northern edge of the grid, where the city loosens and the roads north begin. The quarter sits 0.81 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 11 minutes on foot in a direct line, and that is the quarter's own measure, not a walk from your door.
Treat the location as the wider city. Anything you want in the CBD means travelling in and out, and after dark this is a transport edge rather than an evening one, so cross it by car. The Globe Cinema roundabout is the CBD's northern hinge and the fruit market beside it opens at four in the morning, which makes the quarter best for early markets, and the walk up to the National Museum, if you are already there. Museum Hill is the next rise beyond. You are not.
