Staying in Kano
Kano is a predominantly Hausa city where Islam shapes daily life, home to numerous mosques including the Great Mosque and to markets that are vibrant hubs of activity. Visitors can explore the old city with its narrow streets and historic buildings, or move out to newer districts that host modern businesses and hotels. It is also a gateway to the wider region, with transport links to other parts of Nigeria and neighbouring countries, and it is known for its ancient city walls, the Kurmi Market and the Emir's Palace.
The hotels on this shortlist sit mostly east of the centre, in Nassarawa, along Yusufu Rd and Isa Dutse Rd, off Audu Bako Road, and on Gashash Rd and Magajin Rumfa Rd. Some are closer in: Prince Hotel Kano and GK Guest Palace Kano are 0.8 km from the centre, Comfort Hub Hotels And Suites and its Bakatisina sister property 1.0 km. Couples and business travellers get easy access to the centre and Government House; families have options with family rooms; short-break visitors can pick the sights side of town.
