A hotel with a history, it was once run by the so-called father of gorilla tourism, Walter Baumgärtel, and Dian Fossey regularly stayed here. Through various thoughtful touches such as Congolese crafts, this otherwise simple place has become a lovely little oasis. The garden has lots of shade and the restaurant features an atmospheric bar with fireplace.
The restaurant is one of the more reliable places to dine, with options ranging from pasta to omelettes and curries. It's also known for its buffet dinners (US$15), which are worth the splurge; visitors need to reserve by 3pm.
