Hôtel Maisons-Sifa

This charming hotel is on the outskirts of Huye (formerly Butare) Rwanda, a university town in southern Rwanda. In a beautiful garden setting, the rooms are spacious and comfortable. The dining space is lovely, either in a gazebo set in the garden or an open covered patio. The staff is lovely, friendly, and professional. Food is delicious. Highly recommended if you have business in Huye (downtown and university are a 15 minute drive) or are touring in the area. An excellent ethnographic museum is very close by, as well as the former king's palace. The beautiful Nyungwe Forest is a couple hours drive away.

Nice quiet hotel. Very few residents. Comfortable rooms and beddings. steady internet. Fresh food made on request. Breakfast served outside at the gazebo where one enjoys the natural setting. A lovely place to stay.

Pros: breakfast is really good, staff is kind and professional, rooms are clean and have access to hot water, garden is beautiful, it is quiet Cons: the access road is very tricky and it's a bit hard to find, wifi isn't great (not always available and has a limit), our mattresses were really hard and for us uncomfortable, no dinner/lunch options, booked a twin room in advance and got a regular double bed + a bunk bed instead It's not a bad place at all but for the price (90$ per night), I wouldn't go there again due to the cons listed above.
