Nyungwe Top View Hotel

The cabins at this place are nicely appointed, spacious, comfortable and have a sitting room with fireplace, foyer room, big modern bathroom and a great bedroom. The lanai (roofed patio) behind overlooks incredible Nyungwe area scenery and has flowering bushes that attract lots of sunbirds. At night the staff brings hotwater bottles to put in the bed and warm your feet. The food is excellent and staff are very attentive and helpful. All speak English. They sometimes bring a local cultural performer group up if cabins are mostly full. The only downside at all are the steep steps up to the restaurant on the second level. Those are challenging as we get older. We have stayed here many times, weeks at a time while doing training at Nyungwe. It is always a great place to stay for all the reasons above. We also have brought ten friends for ecotours on this recent trip and two previous trips and they loved it.

Our favorite accommodation on our week long trip. Huge rooms, balcony out back to enjoy the nature. A separate room with super comfortable chairs and a fire place. Perfect to relax and drink some wine. As always, staff very friendly and attentive. Dinning room is a short walk from your building.

Lovely hotel with excellent service. Beautiful views overlooking Forrest and mountains. Sunrise and sunset views. Room large with extra sitting area room. Verandah at front and back with great views. Staff very knowledgeable and helpful. Food excellent. Even packed lunch for 4am trekking. Thank you for a great stay. Highly recommend x

We mostly loved our stay here. Friendly staff all around. The bungalows were spacious and the views and grounds were amazing. All of our meals here were delicious and Jean de Amour was a wonderful host throughout all of our meals over four days. We can't thank him enough for his attentiveness. Our boots and gaiters were cleaned which was much appreciated. We absolutely loved the large covered veranda and spent most of our free time out on it watching the birds live their lives. The only two downsides we felt were that although the room was spacious and the fire lit in the room was wonderful, we only took advantage of it one night because the couch in our room was so incredibly uncomfortable that we couldn't really use it. We are convinced it must have just been made for a move set or something (last unit at the end facing west). We thought the room rules were a little strict. We would have loved to enjoy a glass of wine or beer on our lovely veranda in the evenings, but we couldn't unless we paid for room service. We hadn't run across that anywhere else. There was a fridge in the room, but with no outside food or drink and room service fees to bring anything from the dining room to one's room, we weren't exactly sure what the use of it was. Overall it was a wonderful stay and we would return.

Very nice and quite hotel near the park entrance. Nice large rooms with garden views. Hot water bottles placed in your bed to warm your sheets. Friendly and attentive staff. I have food allergies and they offered me alternatives without problem. Scenic view of the area and towards DRC. Nice landscaping.

I don't think you could find a more sweet, attentive and hardworking staff than those at Nyungwe Top View Hotel! We had to leave our hotel at 5 am for our Chimpanzee Trek, and the staff made sure our breakfast was packed at 4:30 am to take with us!! They also made sure we had enough time to have some coffee before we left by surprising us with some at our door. The views at the hotel quite frankly can't be beat, just absolutely beautiful. They also bring hot water bottles for your bed at night as it does get quite chilly. We had such a great time, it was really nice to come back to this hotel after a physically demanding hike! A huge thank you to the staff for helping us create such wonderful memories in Nyungwe National Park.
