Welcome to: 

THE HUB

High quality and affordable accommodation in the heart of Iten

The Hub offers guests from all over the world the opportunity to stay in the Home of Champions at an affordable price while enjoying the comfort of high quality accommodation.

 

We created The Hub in 2021 with the goal of gradually becoming the preferrred training centre in Iten.

 

Most importantly, we want our guests to feel at home. The serenity of the place, the beautiful nature, the fact that all our apartments have its own livingroom, and that we do our best to give each guest personal attention, helps us to achieve this.  

​

World record holders have stayed here, upcoming talents, as well as lots of amateur runners of different levels. They all value the peacefullness of the place, the safety, the delicious food, and the high quality mattresses, as well as the equiped gym, the mutual dining/lounge and the privacy of the rooms.

 

You will find more information below, including our prices. Note that, since 2025, we started a program with great discounts, making it possible for guests who refer others, to stay for as little as 25 USD per night.

Rooms and Facilities at The Hub

The Hub is an accommodation complex made up of seven studios. Each studio sleeps 2 - 4 guests and features its own private living room where guests can relax and socialise, as well as a private bathroom with hot shower. 

 

The 4 larger studios feature two bedrooms (each with two single beds), living room with kitchenette, and bathroom, providing accommodation for up to four guests per apartment. Our guests normally include full board, but if you are interested in self-catering, let us know. We allow this during low season. 

​

As former professional runners we know how to identify what's important to athletes: a good night’s sleep, healthy and tasty meals and being able to feel at home. All our beds are fitted with the highest quality pocket-spring mattress, so that our guests can get the most out of their training and recovery. Although there is no malaria in Iten and Eldoret, there can be mosquitos, so to make sure you sleep undisturbed at night, all beds have mosquito nets and rooms can be fitted with mosquito repellents on request. Additional items in each studio include one or two wardrobes, one or two bed side tables, a dining table, indoor and outdoor chairs as well as one or two lazy chairs for those relaxing moments.
 

In December 2023 we completed the construction of our gym and new dining/lounge area. The gym is fitted with weight lifting equipment, as well as bikes, a treadmill and cross trainer. With 95 square meters it's large enough for groups to do strength and conditioning exercises together.

​

The dining/lounge is where guests have their meals. It's also available every day from 7 am until 9 pm to relax, work, have a cup of tea or coffee (available for free at any time) or watch television. The satelite tv features hundreda of channels, including 6-7 sports channels so our guests don't have to miss any of the major marathons or Diamond League races. 

​​

Our complex is situated on a large plot of private land with views over Iten where guests can relax outside or do some outdoor exercises. Additional services that are offered, but that are not included in the price, are: massage, laundry service and a private internet router.

Food & Catering

We understand that most guests prefer to focus on their training and recovery, so we offer full-board to all, including those who have booked a studio with kitchenette. Our full-board package includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner served in the communal dining area, as well as fruits and tea/coffee during the day.

 

During breakfast we provide our guests with (toasted) bread which is often freshy baked in our own oven, jams/spreads, milk, boiled or fried eggs, fruits, cereals/porridge oats, tea and coffee. For lunch and dinner, our chef uses high quality ingredients and prepares a variety of dishes, using a mix of Kenyan and Western cuisine. Some examples are chapatis with beef, spagetti with chicken, pancakes and butternut soup, potatoe salad with olives and nuts, or rice with scrambled eggs - always accompanied with lots of vegetables. Fresh salad is served several times a week and there is always the option to eat vegetarian or vegan. Purified drinking water is served during all meals. Tea and coffee are available throughout the day.

 

During your booking, we will ask you whether you have certain dietary restrictions or wishes. Our chef and his team also make vegetarian and vegan meals, as well as gluten and lactose free.​

​

Please note, while we do our very best to ensure our guests have all the food they need during their stay, we do not provide items of a luxury nature, such as chocolate or alcoholic beverages. Items such as these can be purchased at the local shops.

WiFi at The Hub

Your stay at The Hub includes high speed WiFi. We have the highest quality internet, allowing you to make video calls, watch Netflix on your laptop, phone or our TV, and generally do the work that you need to do.

Many of our guests continue working away from home, either in our dining, or in the privacy of their rooms. This is all perfectly possible. We also offer our guests the option to rent their own portable WiFi router.

Safety & Privacy

Iten is a very safe, welcoming, and friendly place with a very low crime rate. The local people are very courteous towards foreign guests visiting the area.

The main entrance to the property is a secure, lockable gate to which you will be provided the key upon arrival.
