A three star apartment block on W Place in Westlands, west of the central business district. Free parking, wifi and a fitness centre are the listed draws. It suits self-driving stays that want the centre close but not on top of them, and it does not suit anyone who wants to step out of a lobby into the evening.
01What it is
Sherry Homes Fahari II is a three star property on W Place, Westlands Close. The listed facilities are practical rather than decorative: free wifi, free car parking, a fitness centre, a laundry service, and express check in and check out. If you are arriving by car and want to keep the vehicle off the street, the free parking is the item that matters most. If you want to eat on site, or drink on site, or sit by a pool, the list says nothing about any of it. That thinness is worth knowing before you book.
What that adds up to is a self-contained base rather than a served hotel. Sherry Homes Fahari II hands you a key, a parking space, a washing machine's worth of laundry service and a gym, then leaves the rest of the day to you. Westlands itself is the address, not the central business district, and Westlands is not the daytime quarter described below, so you are not booking into the quiet streets this site is built around. It suits a driver or a working stay that wants the centre within reach and a guaranteed place for the car. It does not suit anyone without a car, anyone who wants a bar or a restaurant downstairs, or anyone who wants the centre at the door.

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.

06Questions
Where is Sherry Homes Fahari II?+
It is on W Place, Westlands Close, in Westlands, west of the central business district. It sits 2.77 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 35 minutes on foot in a direct line. It is not on the central business district's streets, so plan the last stretch of the trip rather than assuming you can walk out of the door into the centre.
What facilities does the property list?+
Express check in, express check out, a fitness centre, free wifi, free car parking and a laundry service. There is no listed restaurant, bar or pool, so the free parking and the gym are the facilities that decide most stays. Anything beyond the list is not something you should count on.
How do you reach the centre from here?+
The site's own marker is 2.21 km from Biashara Street and City Market, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. That quarter is a daytime one: the halls shut in the late afternoon and the streets empty with them. From Westlands you need a vehicle or a ride for that leg, and the free parking on site makes keeping a car practical.
How do you check availability at Sherry Homes Fahari II?+
Availability and the cancellation terms sit on the booking page at app.impt.io, which is where this property is booked. Most rooms there can be cancelled free, so you can hold dates without committing fully. Check the specific room before you confirm, since what is free to cancel is decided room by room rather than for the building as a whole.
