Reviews and Ratings
I ended up staying at this hotel unexpectedly due to bad weather, and I found it to be a decent option with beautiful gardens and a fair price. The staff was courteous and accommodating, but the service could be a mixed bag at times. While the location is convenient for travelers going to the border, other hotels nearby offered more value and comfort, so it might not be the best choice if you're seeking a special stay.
I had a pleasant stay at Hotel Ubumwe, where the staff was incredibly polite and the rooms were kept clean. It's a great option if you’re looking for an economical place to relax, and I appreciated the free Wi-Fi. However, some aspects like room variability might not suit everyone’s taste.
I had a decent stay at this hotel, which is conveniently close to the public bus stop. The garden was beautiful, and the staff were courteous. However, I didn't feel like I was getting great value for my money, and the room and service left a lot to be desired. Overall, it's an okay option if you need a place to rest, but I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for a more enjoyable experience.
We stopped for a short stay before heading to Nyiragongo, and while it wasn't anything extraordinary, it met our basic needs. The staff were friendly, and they even washed my car, which was a nice touch. It was a safe place to park my car overnight, but don’t expect too much in terms of comfort or luxury.
I had a short stay at this hotel before heading off to climb Nyiragongo. It’s a place that offers decent value for what you pay—nothing extraordinary, but certainly nothing to complain about. The friendly staff made a good impression, providing car washing services and letting me keep my car parked safely for an extra night. It's definitely a safe place to stay, which is a plus.
