Top choice in Rwanda
This is the best top-end option in Musanze and the best value in this price range. While it's certainly very pricey, you do get attentive and efficient staff, a great location between the town and the national park, very attractive accommodation and an excellent restaurant. Extras such as a good pool and even a complimentary shoe-cleaning service make all the difference.
The property is a bit compact, but that's our only gripe.
