decent
Pros:

breakfast was monotonous. they should benchmark. maybe free selection instead of fixed paper choices. rooms they need to invest in new beddings otherwise next time it will be a seedy joint.
electricity and water ... i dont know what to say. they should have a storage for water. water dissappearing when you are showering is not nice ..electricity is a country problem at least they had a generator.

Cons:

as above.
location is good.
structure is ok.
people at least were polite and informative even if their english was wanting.
and comparatively they were a decent hotel.
i will still book there in the future if i step in burundi again

extremely good value for money and very safe and clean
Pros:

the hotel is clean and safe and the staff are lovely. Aliou was on the desk when i arrived and still there the next morning. He is also the marketing manager and really trying to make sure everyone has a good stay. He went out of his way to help a guest who was unwell, after he should have finished his shift.
I had pizza to eat which was very good, and chose fruit salad for breakfast which was beautifully prepared and delicious.

Cons:

there is no garden altho there is outside space to sit and a small swimming pool.

Un hôtel idéal, dans un bon quartier
Pros:

Le personnel très respectueux et hyper sympathique, mais aussi à l'écoute des besoins. Le petit jardin autour de la piscine. La terrasse bar à l'étage qui offre une petite vue sur les montagnes au loin. Le sentiment de sécurité. Le prix des boissons.

Cons:

Le prix des plats. Les arrêts de bus (si l'on voyage principalement à pied) un peu loin...

Nice location, stable internet, and courteous staff. The hotel was welcoming, and I would stay again
Cons:

The spices in food were a little too much for my taste.A little more balance in seasoning would make the dining experience even better.

Pros:

The most distinguished thing about this hotel is the staff(*****) .. they are "so", " so" wonderful.. friendly..& helpful.. specifically: the two young ladies: Annociate & Dodo(abbreviation of "difficult to remember" name !! ..she was a nice receptionist girl .. she helped me in doing a city tour concentrating on religious sites) .. & never forget the two young gentlemen: Immanuel & Ali ).. thank you all ..
May God bless you all

Cons:

The recurrent electricity/ water supply cut-off .. I don't blame the hotel administration.. It's because of poor infrastructure in Burundi (yes they have a generator.. but it can't withstand the frequent shutdown in power )
