I stayed at this hotel for two nights and it is beautiful. If you have a car, it's about five minutes from the heart of Bujumbura (central market, Havana and Toxic nightclubs, Aroma coffeehouse, etc) and I found its location just off a main road terrific. Despite the fact that it was next to a central, busy road, it was... More

I stayed here for 2 weeks and was simply blown away by the beautiful grounds, stunning architecture and friendly staff. There truly is no other hotel like it in the city. The owners truly know their client (mostly expats from international organizations) and what they want. It's the type of place where you feel right at home, quite a contrast... More

I really enjoyed this hotel, nice grounds, friendly staff and the manager was very personable, as well. Rooms were clean, prices vary between $80 (USD) and $117 (USD), I wouldn't recommend any of the rooms towards the back of the hotel as they are dark and cramped but most of the other rooms are quite nice and roomy, especially the...

zero service, the arrogant + incompetent French (or Belgian) manager seemed unable to manage the few rooms they have at the hotel as nobody cleaned my room and after 3 requests for fresh towels, still never happened. For USD 118 a night, for a place in the middle of nowhere with a mediocre breakfast, a very poor value. Non-french speakers... More

Very nice environnement, any convenience, fresh food, good cuisine, safe in every room, wireless, high price but everything included (even cleaning of clothes), etc. Jack the... More

This hotel was recommended by the amabassy of Belgium in Bujumbura. The hotel is really ok, but the manager is the worst guy I ever met. I travel all around the world, also a lot of times in Africa, but I never met a boss like this. He shouts to his personnel from 7h in the morning until 22h00 in... More

The room I was given had a clear glass door, next to power supply and sattelite receivers. Hundreds of mosquitoes in the room. Frequent power cuts, the generator did not deliver enough power to make the AC's run. In a closed dressoir in the room there were other people's clothes, amenities looked like they could fall apart any moment. Shower... More

The hotel is a converted colonial residence in a relatively safe and quiet area of Bujumbura. Each room is a different design but what they have in common is that they are all huge, and each has its own large outdoor terrace or balcony. I think there are 8 double rooms in all, and in many respects the ambiance is... More
