Heaven on Earth in the Lakeside City - Comfort at its BEST!
Pros:

Beach View Hotel has the best Kenyan breakfast on offer around the Lake region. For those intent on visiting the beaches along the shores of Lake Victoria, this is the place to be. You will easily locate the famous Hippo Point from here as well as visit the Dunga Beach for fresh fish, from the lake directly to the plate. They serve good dinner as well. The staff are also very hospitable. Wow, there was nothing as enjoyable as having your breakfast in the well kept Botanical Gardens.

Cons:

The location may be a challenge to those who do not have private transport. You have to rely on Bolt Taxi services, which have to come all the way from the Central Business District (CBD) which takes at least 10 minutes to arrive, so call the Taxi early enough to avoid disappointment. There is no Uber Taxi service in Kisumu City.
