Moti Peal Hotel

Northern Kenya


This smart place markets itself as the ‘Pearl of Isiolo’. This actually says more about the state of Isiolo than the quality of the hotel, but even so it's shockingly clean, well run and has friendly management. Each room has a large double bed, mosquito net and spacious balcony.
