Hotel Dolce Vita is a family ran hotel. I stayed here for a few nights and was happy with the accomodation. The price £80 paid for the room was high, considering you're in East Africa and most local earn $40/month. When you require hot & cold water for your bathroom, you have to phone reception, who control the water supply... More

Considering most hotels in Bujumbura are very over-priced (compared to other parts of Africa), this wasn't a bad place to stay. Rooms are big, some have balconies, some have hot water and others don't - I know this because one of our party never had hot water in her room. I was lucky and so quite happy with my room.... More

I was really disapointed by this hotel and the service. Although I had booked two rooms in this hotel in advance and staff ensured me that the rooms are available, the rooms were all booked, so that we have to move to another hotel. Altough the staff had our phone number they did not call us, so that we went... More

I have travelled all over the world and I generally look for places which are reasonably priced and are clean and friendly. This place was top of the line!! The staff and lovely manager/owner were particularly friendly and made every effort to help with any request I gave them and they mostly spoke both French (of course) and English.The room... More

I have spent almost three weeks at the Dolce Vita hotel in Bujumbura and it was an excellent experience in every aspect of what business people are expecting; spacious room, excellent service from all the employees, diverse menu for all taste. That hotel has a swimming pool which is welcomed after a hard day's work. One major detail; that hotel... More

This is a new, locally owned and operated hotel. It's very clean and by all appearances safe, in a quiet neighborhood one block from the location of the new US Embassy under construction. Air conditioning works well; restaurant and bar are good if a little slow as per usual in the region. It's a good alternative to the more expensive... More

Located in a secure area of Bujumbura, the hotel has most of the amenities of a four star hotel. The cuisine is excellent and although the young staff lacks some expertise they make that up with commitment. Very good value for money.

Clean, safe and comfortable hotel. Very professional and nice manager. Friendly staff, still learning the trade but very willing to help and getting better every day. Absolutely good value for money. Good food in the restaurant, service sometimes a bit slow. We will be back!

The hotel owners seems to have ensured basic needs of the foreigner travelers such as safety, food & comfort at very affordable cost! Being the frequent traveler for Africa, safety is always my first concern! Dolce vita resort is just behind the new American embassy and very safe due to the guards patrolling around. Each room has a separate safety... More
