This shortlist covers the 3-star hotels in Siaya, the county seat of Siaya County in western Kenya, near Lake Victoria.
Staying in Siaya
Siaya is the county seat of Siaya County in western Kenya, sitting near Lake Victoria. People stay here when they have business in the county or are passing through the area, and the town serves as a base for the surrounding county. It is reached by road from Nairobi, about 320 km to the southeast in a straight line.
The hotels on this shortlist sit in and around the town and along the roads that feed it: several give their address simply as Siaya, while others name Off Siaya Yimbo Rd., Rabango Road, Along Kisumu Siaya Road, Siaya Kisumu Road, Kobale Siaya Rangala Rd and Sega Aboke Rd, and a few lie further out at Nyang'oma Kogelo, Sidindi Madeya Center, Off Bondo Usenge Rd, near Sigomere Catholic Church and on Nguge Dr. That spread suits couples and families looking for a quiet base, business travellers who need to be in town, and short-break visitors passing through the county.
