A 3 star property on Gigiri Drive in Greater Nairobi, outside the quarter this site covers. It is a garden address with parking and quiet facilities, and the thing that decides the stay is that you need a car to use it, because the centre is not walkable from here.
01What it is
The Premier Suites is a 3 star property on Gigiri Drive in Greater Nairobi. The list is built around a garden setting: garden, terrace, picnic area, fireplace and a smoking area outside the rooms, alongside free wifi, free car parking, luggage storage and a TV. Practical services cover dry cleaning, laundry and a gift shop, and there is a spa and a wheelchair accessible route on the property. The list is thin on the things a city hotel is usually judged on: no restaurant, no bar, no gym and no airport transfer are stated, so you cannot plan meals or a ride from what is published here.
What that adds up to is a northern Nairobi base that works if you have your own transport and want quiet ground around you rather than a lobby with a front desk crowd. The Premier Suites suits someone whose business or family visit sits in the north of the city, or who is content to drive in and out and treat the property as somewhere to park and sleep. It does not suit anyone without a car, or anyone who wants the Central Business District on foot from the door, or an evening that starts with a bar downstairs.

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.

Worth booking only once you have decided how you will move around, because the property itself will not solve that for you. 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. Five percent of what you pay comes back as IMPT credit, out of the hotel commission rather than added to your bill.
Facts on this page come from the booking supplier's record: star class, address, photographs and facility list. Guest scores come from verified stays. Nobody from this site has stayed here; the quarter copy around it is this site's own.
06Questions
Where exactly is The Premier Suites?+
The Premier Suites sits on Gigiri Drive in Greater Nairobi, north of the Central Business District. It lies 5.29 km from Ngara and the Globe, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. That places it outside the district itself, in the northern part of the city.
Can I walk from The Premier Suites into the Central Business District?+
It is 5.98 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 75 minutes on foot in a direct line. The route is not the kind of walk you take twice a day. A car is the practical way in and out, and the site treats the centre as a daytime quarter whose halls shut in the late afternoon.
What is around the property?+
The street itself is a flyover, a roundabout, and a market that starts before the light does. After dark it reads as a transport edge rather than an evening one, and the site's own advice is to cross it by car. The garden, terrace and picnic area are what the property offers in place of a street scene.
How do I check availability at The Premier Suites?+
Check the dates you need against what the property has open, and confirm the room type you want before you commit. Booking runs through app.impt.io, where free cancellation applies to most rooms. Confirm what is open for your dates directly rather than relying on the facility list.
