    We really enjoyed our time at the hotel, it served as a great place for us to spend our few days in Burundi. The rooftop restaurant serves great food, and breakfast overlooking the lake from the lakeside restaurant is a great way to start the day....

    The key to having a good trip in some African cities like Bujumbura is not only the hotel is also the concierge. Here was Olivier. He made sure everything I needed was arranged timely like Safari or massage services.
