Staff were excellent. Polite, helpful and went out of their way to assist me with taxis and currency exchange. Excellent breakfast and meals also excellent.
I couldn't figure out the TV; but didn't ask as not a TV person. would be helpful to have instructions in the roomm.

Pretty much everything, a great little oasis in what appears to be the hotel area, only a minute or two taxi ride from the main street for nice restaurants and shopping. Room was great with lovely views everything was perfect, hilton in Europe and us could learn a lot from the management here. Breakfast was fine but the view from the breakfast table was second to none.
Some sockets in the room didn't work. The bar in the evening needs a little more enthusiasm , and somewhere or somehow guests should be able to get drinks in the evening after the bar has closed. Room service bottles of water, fanta, coke and beer wouldn't be difficult and a good way to earn a little extra. After the first night we stocked up from a supermarket. How about a fridge in the office for the night receptionist and guests have to collect from reception. Can't be that hard and will save guests bringing it in, just an idea.

Wonderful location on the lake, excellent breakfast and large plate of fruit, very good pool
Some things did not work - the television was not connected and then only to one channel, a light bulb in the entrance of the room was broken. But air conditioning worked very well

The hotel was in a good location, the amenities are very nice and the staff were friendly.
There is a bar opposite the hotel which was an outdoors venue metres from the hotel. They started blasting club music from before 6pm and legally were meant to stop at 11pm (according to the reception at the hotel). They kept going until after 3am. Apparently there is nothing that can be done. The music was so loud, I had 3 hours sleep only. The hotel is so lovely but a club like that just metres from the hotel brings down the neighbourhood and will lose the hotel business.

Nice pool, comfortable bed.
There is a dance club very near by. Even with earplugs you can still hear the music.
Exchange currency at hotel is pretty bad.

The staff are friendly and very helpful.
The internet was horrible!! Many times it went on and off. Very unstable internet connection and even some websites not dowloading. There were also restrictions on some websites.

Wifi wasn't great at times.

A good option in Bujumbura with a good facilities such as a swimming pool and a gym.
The hotel is old and tired and in need of a complete renovation.
5.0
This is a very comfortable hotel with great facilities! The rooms were good sized, and had all comforts that are important in Burundi and that you'd want. Small fridge, bottled water, mosquito netting, A/C (was a nice surprise!) and a great bathroom.
The facilities is very nice. Very garden like setting, off a quiet road, and has a beautiful pool with chairs, a gym for your use, balconies for the rooms, and a nice layout.
Their are 2 restaurants: the lunch/dinner place is rooftop from teh main building and easy to get to with good food and great service. Good selection of local and 'western' foods and beers. The breakfast place (which I think also has later meals) is across the street on the Lake! very peaceful place to get your start to the day and portions of the included breakfasts are huge.
The Safari Gate is relaxing and comfortable. it's probably 2 km from the city center.
Staff English is definitely passable, but not 100% fluent, but minor concern. French is a far more common language here in Burundi.

Clean gardens, quiet atmosphere. High water pressure in the rooms

In general the staff were friendly, and the kitchen staff were great. Great location.
The reception staff were friend but our requests were not followed through. Our room only got cleaned the first day, although they changed towels everyday. Our doors were also not closed/ room not sprayed as was done the first night.. so we had mosquitoes in the night. Given its sandy, would have been great to sweep the floors..
The poor cleaning/lack of cleaning of the rooms and the breakfast options - it might be better to not pay for breakfast inclusive or better the establishment to if they can allow selection off the two options were given...
