Regina Hotel / Gisenyi: Amazing views on Lake Kivu

Tip Rating:   |

Gisenyi, located along Lake Kivu, is divided in a busy upper part, where local life concentrates, and the quiet Lakeside, where huge colonial houses on big compounds are built along an avenue lined by palmtrees.
If you can afford it, you have to stay on the Lakeside, with at least 2 mid range hotels.
Unique Qualities: One of them is Regina, with big and very airy rooms but not s/c.
Around the building are very nice and quiet sittingsarea's. You will be served while relaxing at the lake. However, this stretch has NO sandy beach.
The restaurant is quite good, but service erratic and slow (or maybe I should say: not what were used to in the West ?!).
In my opinion better value than Palm Beach Hotel.
Price single $10, double $14.

Gisenyi, located along Lake Kivu, is divided in a busy upper part, where local life concentrates, and the quiet Lakeside, where huge colonial houses on big compounds are build along an avenue lined by palmtrees.
If you can afford it, you have to stay on the Lakeside, with at least 2 mid range hotels.
Unique Qualities: The other one is Palm Beach Hotel, more upmarket that has a private beach, canoes, relaxing chairs and windscreens to protect you from too curious eyes.
The rooms are self contained and some have satellite TV and private balconies.
However I took the cheapest room for a night (because I wanted to see Champions League that night) and it's not very good value.
Probably the most expensive offer better value. The restaurant and bar are excellent but very expensive.
Cheapest double room $24, but I bargained down to $12 (low season).

Bo nobo, you have an amazing page here and I came back to visit once more before I move to Rwanda for 6 months next week. I will be hitting most of places you have visited in hope that I will have as good of time as you had! Thanks for your input! Cheers | hindu1936 Thu Apr 13, 2006 05:49 UTC
Ms. Fossey's work has long been a story of great emotion for me. I did not know the memorial site was still intact. I had heard that the murderers of the genocide had destroyed it. thanks. | chewy3326 Fri Mar 17, 2006 20:20 UTC
Rwanda has probably been unfairly stereotyped as a very violent nation, but it looks very beautiful and diverse. Great page! |
