Nyungwe Top View Hotel

Lovely hotel with excellent service. Beautiful views overlooking Forrest and mountains. Sunrise and sunset views. Room large with extra sitting area room. Verandah at front and back with great views. Staff very knowledgeable and helpful. Food excellent. Even packed lunch for 4am trekking. Thank you for a great stay. Highly recommend x

We mostly loved our stay here. Friendly staff all around. The bungalows were spacious and the views and grounds were amazing. All of our meals here were delicious and Jean de Amour was a wonderful host throughout all of our meals over four days. We can't thank him enough for his attentiveness. Our boots and gaiters were cleaned which was much appreciated. We absolutely loved the large covered veranda and spent most of our free time out on it watching the birds live their lives. The only two downsides we felt were that although the room was spacious and the fire lit in the room was wonderful, we only took advantage of it one night because the couch in our room was so incredibly uncomfortable that we couldn't really use it. We are convinced it must have just been made for a move set or something (last unit at the end facing west). We thought the room rules were a little strict. We would have loved to enjoy a glass of wine or beer on our lovely veranda in the evenings, but we couldn't unless we paid for room service. We hadn't run across that anywhere else. There was a fridge in the room, but with no outside food or drink and room service fees to bring anything from the dining room to one's room, we weren't exactly sure what the use of it was. Overall it was a wonderful stay and we would return.

Very nice and quite hotel near the park entrance. Nice large rooms with garden views. Hot water bottles placed in your bed to warm your sheets. Friendly and attentive staff. I have food allergies and they offered me alternatives without problem. Scenic view of the area and towards DRC. Nice landscaping.

I don't think you could find a more sweet, attentive and hardworking staff than those at Nyungwe Top View Hotel! We had to leave our hotel at 5 am for our Chimpanzee Trek, and the staff made sure our breakfast was packed at 4:30 am to take with us!! They also made sure we had enough time to have some coffee before we left by surprising us with some at our door. The views at the hotel quite frankly can't be beat, just absolutely beautiful. They also bring hot water bottles for your bed at night as it does get quite chilly. We had such a great time, it was really nice to come back to this hotel after a physically demanding hike! A huge thank you to the staff for helping us create such wonderful memories in Nyungwe National Park.

If you’re familiar with Rwanda travel you’re probably used to the standard delivered. The hotel is in a good location but is underwhelming, dark and badly in need of renovation. The rooms are more like small apartments with a sitting room and bathroom. They are clean but the decoration is not pretty. The balcony has a nice view which helps make the place more enjoyable though. No internet in the rooms and the internet in the lobby is slow. The food was not great and if you don’t get the inclusive package, very overpriced. You’ll be charged almost 70$ for a meal for two which you’d get for 5$ in Kigali. I recommend getting at least breakfast included because there are no options nearby the hotel to eat, probably easier to get everything included. I will say the staff are very friendly and helpful, and as the options in Nyungwe are pretty limited unless you have a very big budget, you probably could do a lot worse. I’d just keep your expectations low, it is overpriced.
