Pleasant stay near Kisumu.
The service was excellent. All staff were freindly and helpful. It's a bit removed from Kisumu center, but a great stop over on the way to Kakamega.

Nice and safe accomodation for budget travelers
Ok location, a bit remote. Google maps points the wrong way. Accomodation is basic ( e.g. room did not have a window) and a bit crampy. Very friendly and helpful staff.
