A three star property off Muthama Access Road in Greater Nairobi, well outside the centre. Free parking, a terrace and wheelchair access are the draw. It suits drivers who want a quiet eastern base and morning starts. It does not suit anyone coming for the city centre on foot.
01What it is
Caster Jkia Homes is a three star property on Muthama Access Road in Greater Nairobi. The listed facilities are few and practical: cleaning, free car parking, shops, a smoking area, a terrace and wheelchair access. Parking is the one that matters most here, because a car is what makes the location work. The list is thin on the things people normally ask about first, so treat the room itself as the question to put to the property before booking.
For someone staying at Caster Jkia Homes, what you get is a plain, functional base on the eastern side of the city, in a quarter that trades hard in the early morning: trucks, handcarts and the entire city's vegetables changing hands at 5am. After dark it is closed, dark and not a place to be, so mornings only. That decides it. Caster Jkia Homes suits drivers who want to be out early and back before evening. It does not suit anyone expecting to walk into the centre or spend the night out.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels are not in Muthurwa and the east markets, and they are not in any of the ten quarters of the centre this site covers. They sit a long way out, in the wider city, and Muthurwa and the east markets is only the nearest of the ten. That is the whole point of the distinction: you are sleeping outside the grid, and you will be travelling in and out for anything in the CBD.
The quarter itself is the eastern edge of the grid: wholesale produce, bus termini, before dawn. Trucks, handcarts and the entire city’s vegetables changing hands at 5am. It is the wholesale edge, where Muthurwa’s market and the country bus termini push up against the railway land, and it feeds the rest of the grid. Best for an early-morning market walk with someone who knows it. After dark it is closed, dark and not a place to be, and mornings are the only sensible time. Muthurwa sits 1.23 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 16 minutes on foot in a direct line, and that figure describes the quarter, not your journey from these hotels.
