Lakeside · Gisenyi

Stillness on the shore of Lake Kivu.

A small, considered hotel in Gisenyi — rooms with a view, a kitchen rooted in the region, and the kind of welcome that comes from being family-run.

Around the hotel

Places worth the drive.

Rwanda is small and the roads are good — most of the country's best days out are within reach of a night here.

Restaurant & Bar
Restaurant & Bar

Lakeside table, Rwandan kitchen.

Our restaurant looks straight onto the lake. The menu is short on purpose — fresh tilapia from the boats that come in at dawn, isombe, brochettes, and a drinks list built around East African coffees and a small but careful wine list.

Open daily 06:30 – 22:30. Guests can charge food and drinks to their room — settle one bill at checkout.

The place

A short walk from the border, a long way from the noise.

We're a 10-minute drive from the Rubavu border crossing, 5 minutes from Gisenyi town centre, and 90 seconds from the lake. Whether you're here to work in the region, cross into the DRC, or just sit by the water for a few days — we're set up for both.

  • Free secure parking on site
  • 24-hour reception & security
