A two bedroom apartment in Runda with its own kitchen, garden and parking, well away from the centre. If you want to walk out of a lobby into the middle of Nairobi, this is the wrong side of the city for you.
01What it is
Runda Acacia Grove 2Bedroom is a three star self catering apartment rather than a serviced hotel room, and the list runs towards the practical: a kitchen with oven, microwave, refrigerator and toaster, a washing machine, iron and board, and a lounge and fireplace alongside the bedrooms. Bathrooms come with shower, WC, towels, toiletries and slippers. There is free wifi, a desk, a TV, cots for children and family rooms, plus 24H. Security, a safe, free car parking and a garden and terrace. Breakfast appears on the list, though nothing here says how it is served or where, and cleaning and housekeeping sit beside a laundry service, which is what you would expect of a place that is partly self run.
For someone staying at Runda Acacia Grove 2Bedroom, the appeal is the space and the routine: you cook when you like, wash clothes on site, park at the door, and put children in a cot in a family room. It suits a family, a small group or anyone working in the northern suburbs who would rather drive than walk. It does not suit a visitor whose trip is the Central Business District. Runda Acacia Grove 2Bedroom sits 8.49 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 107 minutes on foot in a direct line, and this is car territory: the street there is a flyover, a roundabout, and a market that starts before the light does, and after dark it is a transport edge rather than an evening one.

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.
