Gisakura Family Hostel

Top choice in Rwanda


On the main road in Gisakura, this zesty number is a solid option with efficient staff and good facilities. Rooms are practical with no flouncy embellishments – just good lighting, back-friendly mattresses and salubrious (shared) bathrooms with hot water. There's an on-site restaurant that serves excellent meals at petite prices. Choice.
