A three star one bedroom apartment in Greater Nairobi, with a full kitchen, a balcony and free parking. The decision is simple: this suits you if you have a car and business or family on this side, and it does not if you want to walk into the centre.
01What it is
The Red Nest Nahashon Kimemia One Bedroom is a three star apartment, not a hotel room, and the list is built around that. You get a kitchen and a washing machine, a balcony or terrace, a desk, a TV and DVD player, an iron and board, towels and toiletries, slippers, a hairdryer and a safe. The building runs a 24 hour front desk, security around the clock, housekeeping, room service, laundry and dry cleaning, a concierge, currency exchange, luggage storage and free wifi, with free car parking and non smoking rooms. Some entries on the list are promises the building cannot keep: a golf course and horse riding are activities in the wider area rather than things on the property, the barber and beauty salon and the massage service sit alongside bars and a buffet, and pets are allowed with a smoking area set aside. Family rooms and a babysitting service are there, and a sofa bed stretches the one bedroom further. Cleaners come, but the apartment is yours between visits.
What that adds up to at The Red Nest Nahashon Kimemia One Bedroom is a self-contained base rather than a serviced stay. You cook, you wash, you keep your own hours, and the front desk and security mean somebody is there when you arrive late. The address, Trm Drive Wyna Flats, sits in Greater Nairobi, and this is a transport edge rather than an evening one, with a flyover, a roundabout and a market that starts before the light does, so cross it by car. It suits a family or a small group with their own transport, and anyone staying several nights who wants a kitchen and parking. It does not suit a first-time visitor who wants to step out of a lobby into the centre, or anyone without a car.

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 a long way out, in the wider city, and Ngara and the Globe is only the nearest of the ten. Treat that as the honest starting point: you are outside the centre, and anything you want in the CBD means travelling in and back out again.
The quarter itself is the northern edge, where the grid loosens and the roads north begin. The Globe Cinema roundabout is the CBD's northern hinge, the fruit market beside it opens at four in the morning, and Museum Hill is the next rise beyond. The street feel is a flyover, a roundabout, and a market that starts before the light does. It suits early markets and the walk up to the National Museum, and it is a transport edge rather than an evening one, crossed by car. The quarter sits 0.81 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 11 minutes on foot in a direct line, but that measures the quarter, not your hotel.

Book this one directly if you want the apartment and the parking confirmed before you arrive rather than left to a phone call on the day. 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.
