3-star hotels in Bungoma
A shortlist of the 3-star hotels in Bungoma, the county seat of Bungoma County in western Kenya, drawn from 15 places to stay. It is for travellers using the town as a base for the county and Mount Elgon, or stopping on the road to the Uganda border.
Staying in Bungoma
Bungoma is the county seat of Bungoma County in western Kenya, near Mount Elgon and the border with Uganda, about 325 km northwest of Nairobi in a straight line. People stay here to visit the county and the area around Mount Elgon, to cross into Uganda, or to sleep while passing through western Kenya on the road between the two countries.
The 3-star hotels on this shortlist sit in and around the town rather than in one resort strip. Their addresses name Moi Avenue, Kanduyi Road, Simba St and the Mumias Bungoma Road, as well as the Bungoma Malaba Highway and the Webuye Malaba Highway. The mix suits different trips: couples and short-break visitors who want to be in the town centre, business travellers passing along the highway, and families who need a straightforward base for the county.
