The best area to stay in Oyo is generally around the town centre, particularly near the main roads that connect the town.
The town centre itself is relatively compact, with key facilities and services clustered along its main thoroughfares. You'll find local markets, government buildings, and a few eateries here. It's the most developed part of Oyo, offering the most convenience for travellers.
For visitors interested in a comfortable stay with good amenities, areas slightly outside the immediate town centre, but still easily accessible, are often preferred. These locations might offer hotels with more space and better facilities.
Travellers looking for a base to explore the wider Cuvette region will find staying in Oyo convenient due to its central location within the department.
