A three star apartment property in Nyari Estate, off Red Hill Drive, well outside the centre this site covers. The deciding factor is your car. With one, the quiet, the parking and the garden make sense. Without one, the address sits badly for the city.
01What it is
Nyari Rhemia Place Apartments lists the practical side of a self contained stay: free wifi, free car parking, a laundry service and dry cleaning, luggage storage, and step free access for wheelchair users. Outside there is a garden, a terrace and a picnic area, which is more outdoor room than most places at this level bother with. The list is thin where it matters most. There is no restaurant, no bar, no gym and no airport transfer, so meals and evenings are yours to arrange, and the apartment rather than the building is meant to carry the stay.
What that adds up to is a base for people who arrive with their own transport and their own plans. Nyari Rhemia Place Apartments sits in a residential estate north west of the centre, 6.59 km from Ngara and the Globe, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. The grounds and the parking are the argument. Anyone relying on walking or on being in the middle of things should look at the centre instead, because this address puts you at the edge of the city, not in it.

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.

Book this one if you are driving and want the estate rather than the centre, and check the cancellation terms before you commit. Most rooms here can be cancelled free, and you book them through app.impt.io. Every confirmed booking removes one tonne of CO2, at no extra cost to you.

06Questions
Where exactly is Nyari Rhemia Place Apartments?+
It is on a road off Red Hill Drive in Nyari Estate, in Greater Nairobi, north west of the central business district. It sits 7.16 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 90 minutes on foot in a direct line, so treat it as an estate base rather than a city centre address.
What does the property actually provide?+
Free wifi, free car parking, laundry and dry cleaning, luggage storage, a garden, a terrace, a picnic area, and wheelchair access. There is no restaurant or bar on the list, so plan on self catering or eating elsewhere, and ask about the kitchen before booking.
What is it like getting into the centre from Greater Nairobi?+
This is a transport edge rather than an evening one, so cross it by car. The drive in is the practical option, and the property's free parking makes a car worth having. Budget the trip as a deliberate run rather than a stroll, and do not count on the area for a night out.
How do I check availability?+
Availability and free cancellation are shown through app.impt.io. Enter your dates there to see what is open at Nyari Rhemia Place Apartments, and confirm before you make any other arrangements, since the property is small and the estate is quiet.
