Review

Arguably the best choice in northern Lake Kivu, is the Serena Hotel. Like its sister Serena properties, the Lake Kivu hotel offers a good location, comfortable accommodation and a huge variety of facilities so whether you’re looking for somewhere to relax or keep busy, this hotel satisfies both!

Location - This Serena hotel is sat just outside the small town of Gisenyi which is on the northern edge of Lake Kivu’s shores. It is a couple of hours drive from the capital, Kigali, and the famous Volcanoes National Park, so its location is useful for combining the Rwandan destinations. The hotel itself sits on a white beach so it can definitely be its own destination for a couple of relaxing days.

Layout - The hotel, as other Serena’s, has lots of facilities to use including a swimming pool, a health centre and gym, a restaurant and indoor and beachside bars. On the lake, guests can do fishing, swimming, boating, canoeing and jet skiing. On the shores, as well as relaxing in the grounds of the hotel, they can do cycling, walking and trekking.

Rooms - The Serena hotels are typically quite large and this property is no different, offering 60 rooms and 6 suites. The rooms are simply furnished and have a variety of facilities to make a truly comfortable stay, such as 24-hour room service, satellite TV, a private safe, hairdryers, Wi-Fi and a telephone.
