3-star hotels in Eldoret
A shortlist of 3-star hotels in Eldoret, in the western highlands of Kenya, drawn from the 86 places to stay listed for the city. It is for travellers who want a rated, mid-range base in Uasin Gishu County, whether for a short break or for the road out to Iten.
Staying in Eldoret
Eldoret is the county seat of Uasin Gishu County, in the western highlands of Kenya, about 265 km northwest of Nairobi in a straight line. The highland setting keeps the air cooler than in many other parts of the country. The town of Iten, known for its high-altitude running camps, is nearby, so some visitors use Eldoret as a base for the surrounding area.
These hotels sit in different parts of the city. Boma Inn Eldoret and Watercrest Gardens are on the Elgon View side, off Ramogi Drive and on Elgon View Drive. Sirikwa Hotel, Comfy Inn Eldoret, Winstar Hotel and Asis Hotel are around the CBD and Sosiani Street and Ronald Ngala Street addresses. Others lie further out along the main roads: Off Malaba Road, Off Kisumu Road, Eldoret Kisumu Road, Off Kaptagat Road and Poa Place. That spread suits couples and short-break visitors who want to be near the centre, families who prefer quieter grounds, and business travellers who need to be on a particular road.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around
Eldoret is about 265 km northwest of Nairobi in a straight line. The city is served by Eldoret International Airport. For many journeys, Eldoret is reached by road from Nairobi. Stays in the centre are searched and booked through IMPT, the booking partner behind this site. Each of the 86 places to stay has its own page built from the booking supplier's record, and availability is checked live for your dates. From a base in Eldoret you can travel to the nearby town of Iten.
When to go
The site's own text says Eldoret sits in the western highlands of Kenya, so the air is cooler than in many other parts of the country. Nothing in the site's text fixes a best month, so plan around the highland climate and the cooler air rather than a stated season. If Iten and its high-altitude running camps are the draw, that trip is made from a base in Eldoret and can be planned whenever you travel.
