Hôtel de l'Amitié

Top choice in Burundi


One of the best budget places in town, particularly for couples, as all rooms contain either twin or large double beds (although only one breakfast is included in the quoted rates). The wi-fi and cheap(ish) laundry service are added bonuses, and thanks to a generator you’ll still have power when the electricity cuts out.
