Riverside Park Apartments by YourHost is a four star apartment block on Chiromo Road, in Greater Nairobi rather than the centre itself. The list runs to parking, an outdoor pool, housekeeping and a picnic area. The deciding fact is the 1.96 km from Biashara Street and City Market, which puts the central quarter at arm's length.
01What it is
Riverside Park Apartments by YourHost lists free car parking and parking, which is the pair that matters most at this address, plus an outdoor pool, housekeeping, sheets and towels, a picnic area and a smoking area. There is a shuttle service and wheelchair access. The thin part is the rest of it: no kitchen, no laundry, no workspace, no gym, nothing about food, so the list stops well short of what a long stay usually needs.
What that adds up to is a serviced apartment block built for people with a car and a reason to be on Chiromo Road, not a base for walking Nairobi's centre. Riverside Park Apartments by YourHost suits a driver who wants parking, a pool, housekeeping and quiet over street life, and it suits anyone working along the Chiromo and Riverside corridor. It does not suit a visitor who wants the city on foot, and the surrounding quarter is a daytime one.

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.
