坦噶尼喀湖俱樂部飯店(Hotel Club du Lac Tanganyika)

Excellent hotel resort. Good pool, lovely view of the lake and deck chairs on the beach. Big breakfast, helpful staff, good AC, etc. etc. About 20 minutes into town, about 10 minutes to the Rusizi national park entrance, and about 20 minutes to the airport.

This hotel was actually the highlight of my stay in Bujumbura. It has a nice lush garden, comfortable rooms, a fantastic view of the beach, a good restaurant and an ATM. Everything is very convenient and you don't have to get out of the hotel for much. Only point to be improved: the souvenir shop could have more stuff (they didn't even have fridge magnets of Burundi)

I’ll start by saying that the check-in process was ok. Check in starts at 12pm which is awesome. I reserved a junior suite for a 3 night stay. I was required to pay for my entire stay at check-in. The room had poor air circulation & smelled of mildew. The mosquito net was discolored & dusty. There was visible dirt & dust on walls. But my biggest issue was the bathroom. On the walls you could see mildew/mold that had been painted over. I requested via *********** to check-out the next day as I didn’t want to be moved to another room. The hotel accommodated my request to check out & refunded me appropriately. Other than that, the beach is great & nice to sit on. Food service takes a bit of a wait (over 1hr) but the buffet breakfast was nice & easy. I definitely wouldn’t stay overnight but I can see why people might visit just for the beach.

Stayed for 2 nights in different rooms. Overall, the experience is very inconsistent, but there were some similarities: - wifi is hit or miss. Don't count on it to do any work-related stuff. - AC in the rooms is paltry - mosquito nets around beds - fridges in the rooms (one of them didn't work and had the plug sitting in standing water) - water bottles provided - restaurant service was really really slow (i.e., 45-60 minute wait), but food was fresh and hot - breakfast had a decent selection, but never asked if we wanted any made-to-order eggs or anything The inconsistencies: - one room had no hot water but the other room did - second room had leaking bidet that staff just threw a towel on the floor. We shut it off and that solved problem. Had to call for clean up. - garbage can in bathroom not emptied in one room and was filled with used female sanitary products. - one room had great water pressure in the shower and the other room was so-so Overall, this is supposed to be a 5* property, but was the worst quality of the hotels we stayed at in 4 countries in this region (including another property in Gitega). it appears all the NGO/missionary people stay here.

Nothing worked here at this seriously delapidared hotel - shower leaked and flooded the entire bathroom, phone didn’t work, room was full of mosquitoes, walls looked dirty

I stayed here for a weekend. Bad idea. I was assigned a very very old room (there are newer rooms and some have been renovated). I spent a miserable night in this room. I asked to be switched to a different room and thankfully the next day, I got moved to one of the renovated rooms... which was a little better. Getting a simple meal over the weekend was torture... the waiters were busy serving all the people coming in from the community to use the restaurant and the pool. The food is good, but way too expensive. What I enjoyed the most about my stay was the variety of dishes offered for breakfast. The staff is also friendly and helpful.

Great location near Tanganyika. Provides excellent view and cool breeze. Meals are great with the exceptional coffee of Burundi. An opportunity to see Hippos. Secured car park and excellent customer service from the amazing and ever helpful staff. The pool side is excellent for business meetings.
