A 3 star hotel and service apartment block on Mirema Drive, off Kamiti Road, in Greater Nairobi rather than the centre. The thing that decides it is the car: this is a transport edge of the city, and the shuttle service or your own vehicle is what makes it work.
01What it is
Mirema Hotel & Service Apartments lists the practical things a longer stay needs: a kitchen, family rooms, laundry service, housekeeping, iron and board, and a safe. It has a 24 hour front desk, luggage storage, room service, wifi, non smoking rooms and a smoking area. There is a lounge, a garden in one room, a terrace, a banquet space and lunch. Car rental and currency exchange are on site, and a shuttle service is listed. The thin part is the evening: this is a hotel and apartment block with a garden and a lounge, not a place with a bar or restaurant strip of its own, and no pool or gym appears on the list.
For someone staying at Mirema Hotel & Service Apartments, that adds up to a self contained stay on a road out of the centre, where you cook or eat in and use the shuttle or a car to move. The 3 star rating and the facilities suit families, longer stays, and people whose business is on this side of Nairobi. It does not suit anyone who wants to walk out to the centre, the bars or the offices: Mirema Drive is a transport edge rather than an evening one, and you cross it by car. Treat it as a base with a kitchen, not as a city centre hotel.

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.
