Nyungwe Top View Hotel

The local dance performance was exciting and thrilling! The room was large and comfortable, but the bathroom window was not closed tightly, and many insects flew in when the lights were on at night.

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.

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.
