Nemadek Royal Park is a three star hotel on a ridge in Greater Nairobi, built around parking, conference space and a pool rather than around the centre. It suits people arriving by car for meetings, and it does not suit anyone who wants the CBD on foot.
01What it is
Nemadek Royal Park is a three star property off Police Dog Unit Road, and its list is a working hotel list rather than a holiday one. The core is business: a business centre, conference halls, free wifi, a restaurant, a bar, breakfast and room service. Practical items run deep: free parking, laundry and dry cleaning, luggage storage, a safe, iron and board, hairdryer, fridge, microwave and free bottled water. There is an outdoor pool, a garden, a terrace and even a library. The list is thin on nothing much, except that the pool, garden and terrace are the only leisure entries, and the address itself gives away that this is a car first location.
What all of that adds up to is a hotel that works when your day is already planned around a car and a meeting room. The wifi, the conference halls and the parking do the heavy lifting, and the pool and garden give you somewhere to sit afterwards without leaving the grounds. The catch is the setting. You are not in the centre, and the surrounding streets are safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. Nemadek Royal Park suits business travellers and conference groups arriving by car who want space and quiet. It does not suit anyone who wants to step out of the lobby into the city.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels are not in Upper Hill and Community, and they are not in any of the ten quarters of the centre this site covers. They sit well outside the centre, in the inner suburbs, and Upper Hill and Community is only the nearest of the ten quarters. That matters more than it sounds: you are staying in the wider city, and anything in the CBD means travelling in and out for it. The ridge itself is new concrete built for the car and the conference room, and most of the CBD's office space has been moving up there since the 2000s, which is why you find the tallest towers in the country, the big hospitals, the aid agencies and an expressway ramp to the airport on it. The quarter sits 1.9 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 24 minutes on foot in a direct line.
Upper Hill and Community is best for meetings, a quiet night close in, and a fast run to the airport. After dark it is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. If you want the centre on foot, this is not the right base.

06Questions
Where exactly is Nemadek Royal Park?+
It is on Police Dog Unit Road in Greater Nairobi, on a ridge. It stands 5.19 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers, so it sits outside the central business district rather than inside it.
What does the hotel actually have on site?+
A business centre, conference halls, a restaurant, a bar, free wifi, free parking, an outdoor pool, a garden, a terrace, a library, laundry and dry cleaning, a safe, a fridge, a microwave, a hairdryer, iron and board, and free bottled water.
How far is it from the centre of Nairobi?+
It is 7.09 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 89 minutes on foot in a direct line. In practice that means you are not walking into the CBD from here, and you should plan on a car or a shuttle for any trip in.
What does the guest score tell me?+
It has a score of 4.1 out of 5 from 12 reviews, so it is positive but based on a small number of guests. Treat it as a rough signal rather than a settled verdict, and read the facilities as the firmer guide to what you get.
