Do you want to stay in town or in the park?

In town, I really like the Hotel Avenue Suites / Avenue Suites Hotel, its cheap, clean and reasonably quiet (the higher floors are better). Some rooms are better than others so don't be afraid to change rooms if its not to your liking. Its also very central, which is not to everyones taste. Would also recommend the Waterbuck, which is also decent for the money.

Hotels in the park tend to be pretty pricey (but then the park is very expensive esp in high season).

Hotels waterbuck, Bontana or even Kunste would be ideal.

the stem hotel, Elementaita country club are two very good once and you can get value for your money. The food and customer service is superb.

we stayed in a homestay, just outside Nakuru town
it is owned by the managing director of a travel agency, called PEGA tours
you have a room with own beds, in the family's house (you can even wash your clothes there)
you have dinner and breakfast together with the family (1000KSH/person)
email: info@pegatours.co.ke (transport can be organised from downtown to the homestay)

we also stayed one night in the center (Mt. Sinai Hotel), but we recommend the homestay because it was very noisy in town (mosquee....)

Stayed at the Hotel Milele in Nakuru last year with my sister and parents. It is a church run facility, so no alcohol on the property, but it was a very comfortable stay - clean rooms, wi-fi, decent restaurant and lovely grounds. No complaints and I think our rate worked out to about $50-60 a night. Reasonably close to downtown as well - walked it with my sister so she could see the chaos of downtown Nakuru at 5pm!
