Staying in Siaya

Siaya is the county seat of Siaya County in western Kenya, a town near Lake Victoria that people use when they have business in the county or are passing through the area. It is reached by road from Nairobi, about 320 km to the southeast in a straight line. The places on this shortlist sit in and around the town: addresses name Siaya itself, Off Siaya Yimbo Rd., Rabango Road, Kobale Siaya Rangala Rd, Along Kisumu Siaya Road, Siaya Kisumu Road, Nguge Dr, and further out Nyang'oma Kogelo, Sega Aboke Rd, Sidindi Madeya Center, Off Bondo Usenge Rd and Near Sigomere Catholic Church.

Couples and short-break travellers will find the town-centre addresses convenient, while families and anyone needing conference space or gardens can look at the properties on the quieter roads. Business visitors have the widest choice, since every hotel here is a 3-star property and several sit on the main roads into town. The top-rated entries, The Candela Hotel and Ka'Baba Resort, sit in Siaya itself, so they work for anyone who wants to be close to the town.
