3-star hotels in Busia
A shortlist of the 3-star hotels in Busia, the Kenyan town on the border with Uganda. It is for travellers who want a known comfort level at a busy crossing point, whether they are stopping before or after the border.
Staying in Busia
Busia is a town in Busia County, Kenya, on the border with Uganda, and it is a busy crossing point between the two countries. Travellers stay here because it sits at the border, making it a practical place to stop before or after crossing, and road access is straightforward because the town lies on the main route to Uganda. It is about 355 km northwest of Nairobi in a straight line, reached by road from Nairobi.
These 3-star hotels sit along and just off the Kisumu Busia Road, the corridor that carries traffic through town. The Breez Hotel, Hotel Lintons, Hotel Rastopark, Drimz Hotel Busia and Chez Mbago Resort are all on Kisumu Busia Road, with Afrique Hotel off it and Eddys Resort off the Kisumu Busia Highway. Others are closer to the town's daily life: The New Quill Hotel in Busia, Farmview Hotel Busia on Hospital Rd, Mojoh Inn Hotel on Ukwala Road, and Busia Urban Studio at the Aga Khan building. It suits couples and families breaking a journey, and business travellers passing through the border.

How to choose
On the main road
These five sit on Kisumu Busia Road itself: The Breez Hotel, Hotel Lintons, Hotel Rastopark, Drimz Hotel Busia and Chez Mbago Resort. For anyone arriving or leaving by road, this is the most direct part of the shortlist. Afrique Hotel is just off the same road if you prefer to be set back from it.

In the town itself
The New Quill Hotel is in Busia, Farmview Hotel Busia is on Hospital Rd and Mojoh Inn Hotel is on Ukwala Road. These put you nearer the town's everyday streets rather than the through road, which suits a stay built around the border crossing and errands on either side.

Self-contained stays
Blue House is at Busia Zalean Apartments on the 4th floor, and Busia Urban Studio is at the Aga Khan building. Both are studio-style addresses rather than traditional hotels, and they work well for a traveller who wants a base of their own.
Close to the crossing
Eddys Resort is off the Kisumu Busia Highway and The Grand Brystal Comfort Inn is opposite Harmony Garage. Both sit in the flow of traffic around the border town, useful when the crossing is the reason for the stop.
Where to stay in Busia
Kisumu Busia Road
The road that carries traffic through Busia toward the Ugandan border. The Breez Hotel, Hotel Lintons, Drimz Hotel Busia and Chez Mbago Resort all take addresses on it, and Hotel Rastopark is on the same road. Staying here puts you on the main route to Uganda, which is exactly why most travellers pass through Busia.

Ukwala Road
Mojoh Inn Hotel takes its address on Ukwala Road, a supporting street within the town rather than the through route. It suits a traveller who wants a Busia base slightly away from the Kisumu Busia Road traffic while staying inside the same border town.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around
Busia is reached by road from Nairobi, and the straight-line distance from Nairobi is about 355 km northwest. Road access is straightforward because the town sits on the main route to Uganda. Being on that route is the point of the place: Busia is a busy crossing point between Kenya and Uganda, so arriving by vehicle and continuing on is the usual pattern. The hotels on this shortlist follow the same road, with most addresses on or off Kisumu Busia Road and the Kisumu Busia Highway, which keeps the border and the onward road within the town's road network.
When to go
Busia is on the border with Uganda and is a busy crossing point with many people passing through each day, so the town is a travel stop rather than a seasonal destination. The site's own text gives no months or seasons for going, and the practical timing comes from your journey: before or after crossing the border. Plan around your road trip from Nairobi, about 355 km northwest in a straight line, and the days you need to be on the Uganda route.
