Sometimes you find yourself stuck in a certain town and asking how much a guest house costs, you are given ridiculous prices. Prices for lodgings/guest houses for various towns vary depending on various factors.
Below is the amount you will pay for lodging if you visit any of the listed towns
| Town Lodging prices per night (Ksh) |
| Nairobi 1,000-5,000 |

You will notice that Nakuru,KajiadoMtwapa and Kisumu are among the cheapest towns despite being among the busiest towns in Kenya. Towns like Kisii and Eldoret are very expensive-I don’t know why.
Nairobi is the most expensive city with lodgings ranging from Ksh 1,000 to Ksh10,000 per month.If you need to sleep in Nairobi CBD,then you have to cough at least Ksh2,000 per night, unless you look for a lodging in down town streets like River Road and Nyamakima.
