Historical
hotel. Bar restaurant is the most popular social place in town. Only
6 rooms and 1 sweet room. High ceiling, large bed, large bathroom.
Antique high class hotel. The facility is old, but it is
comfortable. No stairs. Internet cafe is located next. Excellent
breakfast. Problem is gap and crack of the room. Many mosquito come
from there. Also it was cold at night. Hotel IBIS is the best hotel
in town. Foreign tourist stay there, but price was 23,000 or 27,000
and stairs to their restaurant. So I decided to stay this Hotel
Faucon.

Wheelchair
worker at border taught me. 3 steps at entrance, but no step at car
gate. I chose double + single room with shared bathroom. Very clean
and comfortable. Large garden is nice. Mom washed my clothes. I gave
her small tip. No restaurant is only problem, but we can buy water
and soda. Market is far from here. Bus terminal is around unpaved
rough lava roads. High class hotels are located beside lake Kivu.

Very
difficult to look for a hotel by walk on wheelchair because of
hilly. At least some guest house around bus terminal are only
upstairs. If we use taxi to find a hotel, many hotels have stairs
and steps. Rwanda business man who shared taxi from Uganda border
took me here. Steps at door and lobby. I said No stay once and went
out. But 90 min later, I came back and decide to stay here. Western
toilet. They have 20US$, 25 US$ rooms. Middle class hotel, but not
so clean. I have no choice. With TV, breakfast. Kind staffs always
carried my wheelchair.

Recommend.
Not large room, but so clean. Good value. 3 floors. Normally guests
stay upstairs. 3 rooms on ground floor. I got 10 US$ discount.
Normal price was 50 US$. Completely non step. Good service. Free
internet PC and wifi.
