A four star property in a business park off U.S.I.U Road, well outside the centre you came to see. It suits you if you have a car and want space, parking and quiet. It does not suit you if you plan to walk to the Central Business District.
01What it is
Yarkona Hedge is a four star property on Almary Green Business Park off U.S.I.U Rd., out in Greater Nairobi. The listed facilities run long on the practical side: free wifi, free car parking, 24 hour security, laundry service, non smoking rooms and family rooms. Rooms come with a desk, a safe, a TV with pay per view, towels, sheets, slippers, toiletries, a shower, a bath, a bidet and a WC, and some are carpeted. Food storage is covered by a kitchen, kitchenette, refrigerator and microwave. Outside there is a garden, a terrace, a patio, a picnic area, a smoking area and a golf course. Bars are the only drinking or dining item named, and that is where the list is thin: no restaurant and no breakfast are listed, so plan meals elsewhere.
For someone staying at Yarkona Hedge that adds up to a self contained, car dependent base. You park free behind security, you sleep in a quiet room, and you handle your own food from the kitchenette and the microwave. The setting is a business park off a main road, ten and a bit kilometres out, and the site's own line about the area is a flyover, a roundabout, and a market that starts before the light does. After dark it is a transport edge rather than an evening one, and the advice is to cross it by car. Yarkona Hedge suits families and drivers who want room to spread out. It does not suit anyone hoping to step out into the centre, and the halls shut in the late afternoon feeling of the CBD is not what you get here.

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 Yarkona Hedge only once you have settled how you will move around, because the transport edge it sits on is not one you cross on foot at night. 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.
