3-star hotels in Limuru
A shortlist of the 3-star hotels in Limuru, in Kenya's Kiambu County highlands, ranked by guest rating. It is for travellers who want a simple, well-rated base near the tea farms and the Rift Valley escarpment, about 35 km northwest of Nairobi.
Staying in Limuru
Limuru is a town in Kiambu County in the highlands northwest of Nairobi, sitting near the edge of the Rift Valley escarpment. Tea farms surround it, the climate is cool and the landscape green, and the town works as a quiet base for exploring the surrounding countryside. Visitors come mainly for the tea farms and the escarpment, and the town is reached by road from Nairobi on a route through the highlands of Kiambu County.
The 3-star stays on this shortlist sit in and around the town and along its approach roads. Several addresses name Limuru itself, including Ack St. Julian's Centre, Hill House Hotel and Jumuia Conference and Country Home on Limuru Rd. Others lie on the Banana Raini and Raini Banana roads, on Kamandura Road at the Mai Mahiu and Narok junctions, on the Naivasha Maai Mahiu Road, and off Gatatha Rd off Limuru Road at Redhill. It suits couples and short-break visitors who want a green, cool stopover, and business travellers using the conference and country-home style properties.
The shortlist
Ranked by hotel class, then guest rating and number of reviews.
Ack St. Julian's Centre
Limuru
Why stay hereWith 491 reviews and a 4.4 guest rating, Ack St. Julian's Centre is the most reviewed of Limuru's 3-star addresses, which tells you plenty of travellers have already put it to the test. The centre sits in Limuru itself, so you are based in town rather than on the road in. It suits visitors who want a tried and tested base and value a steady stream of past guests over somewhere quiet and untested.
See Ack St. Julian's CentreOakridge Gardens
Banana Raini Rd
Why stay hereOakridge Gardens has earned a 4.3 guest rating across 244 reviews, one of the larger review counts among Limuru's 3-star stays. Its Banana Raini Rd address puts you on a named road rather than in the town centre, so the setting is a residential one. This one suits guests who prefer a smaller, neighbourhood-style base and are reassured by a track record built over hundreds of stays.
See Oakridge GardensThe Jadav Gardens
Raini Banana Road
Why stay hereThe Jadav Gardens holds the highest guest rating on this list at 4.6, though it has been reviewed 31 times, so that score rests on a modest number of guests. Its Raini Banana Road address places it on the same residential stretch as its neighbour Oakridge Gardens. It works for travellers who would rather take a chance on a small, highly rated property than follow the crowd to the busiest address in Limuru.

Limuru
Why stay hereHill House Hotel is a small 3-star property in Limuru with a 4.3 guest rating drawn from just 6 reviews, so the picture is a thin one. If you stay here, you are choosing somewhere barely reviewed rather than somewhere widely tested. It suits guests who are comfortable with the unknown and would rather not be one of hundreds passing through the same doors.

Off Gatatha Rd Off Limuru Road Redhill
Why stay hereZereniti House sits off Gatatha Rd, off Limuru Road at Redhill, a location named for the Redhill area rather than Limuru town itself. No guest rating or review count is recorded, so there is no feedback to weigh. It is a 3-star option for travellers who know this stretch of road and want a base there rather than in the centre of Limuru.

Kamandura Road Mai Mahiu Narok Jct.
Why stay hereBaraka Guest House is adults only, which is the clearest thing about it, and its address on Kamandura Road at the Mai Mahiu Narok junction puts it well away from Limuru town on the route south. There is no guest rating or review count to go on. It suits adults who want a quieter, child-free stay and are travelling along that road rather than into Limuru itself.

Naivasha Maai Mahiu Road
Why stay hereChania Guest House stands on the Naivasha Maai Mahiu Road, placing it on the corridor running towards Naivasha rather than in Limuru town. No guest rating or reviews are recorded for it, so you are booking without any feedback to guide you. This is one for travellers moving along that road who want a 3-star stop at the roadside rather than a stay in the centre.

Limuru Rd
Why stay hereJumuia Conference and Country Home occupies a Limuru Rd address, which makes it the kind of place built for gatherings as much as for individual stays. It is a 3-star property with no guest rating or review count on record, so there is no guest feedback to fall back on. It fits travellers visiting Limuru for a conference or group event rather than a solo leisure trip.

Kamandura Mai Mahiu Narok Road
Why stay hereZambezi Cabin Resort is on the Kamandura Mai Mahiu Narok Road, the same junction route as its neighbour Baraka Guest House, well outside Limuru town. No guest rating or reviews are recorded, so you are choosing it on its setting alone. The cabin format and the resort name suggest a stay that is more about the grounds and the road south than about being in Limuru.

Nazareth Hospital Rd
Why stay hereRidge Cabin Resort sits on Nazareth Hospital Rd, a location that ties it to the hospital road rather than to Limuru's centre. It is a 3-star property with no guest rating or review count available, so there is no track record to check. It could suit travellers with business at the hospital or in that immediate area who want a cabin-style base close by.

Limuru Rd
Why stay hereACK St. Julians Centre on Limuru Rd shares its name with Ack St. This listing is a 3-star property on Limuru Rd with no guest rating or reviews recorded. It is worth noting only if the road address is what you are after, since there is no feedback here to help you choose between them.

Where to stay in Limuru
Raini Banana Road
It is a rural address outside the town centre, in the tea-farm countryside that surrounds Limuru, and suits guests who want the highland setting rather than a town location.
Our picks here: The Jadav Gardens
Redhill
Zereniti House is off Gatatha Rd off Limuru Road at Redhill. Redhill lies on the Limuru Road approach from Nairobi through the highlands of Kiambu County, so it works as a stop on the way into Limuru rather than in the town itself.
