Mysigt hotell vid amerikanska ambassaden
Vi stannade där i åtta nätter och har inget negativt att säga om vår vistelse. Personalen var väldigt serviceminded och uppfyllde nästintill alla våra önskningar. Frukosten som ingick var god och höll vad den lovade. Rummen städades dagligen och fylldes på med vatten. Ett bonus var en eftermiddagssnack som alla gäster fick. Vi kommer definitvt att välja detta hotell vid vår nästa resa till Bujumbura.

Pleasant surprise
This small and personal hotel was a pleasant surprise for me. Nice garden and terrass. Staff friendly and helpful. Good size of room and bathroom. All in all good value for money.

Scam. Don't book it.
Although the booking had been confirmed, when we arrived at the hotel we were not let in, the receptionist came to the gate and informed us that they have no rooms avilable and that they were trying to communicate the problem to hotels.com, we were not provided with any alternative and had to arrange an alternative accommodation ourselves. Although we were not allowed to check in the hotel charged us in full and communicated to hotels.com that we were provided with an alternative rooms on the expense of the hotel, which is simply a lie.

The facility is Good, kept clean with good hospitable staff. Their problem is water and electricity. While it might be endemic to the city and country, getting water to wash was a challenge. Low pressure in the taps when there is a moment of flowing water.

Charming,small hotel on quiet side street
The staff is great, helpful and welcoming, my room was lovely and comfortable, the bathroom large with a good shower. I loved sitting by the small but attractive pool in the well kept garden. I highly recommend this charming hotel.

Happy to recommend the Dolce Vita
If you're looking for the Ritz Carlton, this likely isn't your cup of tea (and good luck finding it in Buja). But this place was an oasis considering the first night I stayed at the Hotel Beausejour Iramya (where one star is too much). Burundi is going through a tough time these days, and it appeared as though I was the only guest for a prolonged period. The staff here were wonderfully accommodating, kind, and resourceful - the speak very good English (rare in Buja), they repaired a pair of shoes I had lost the sole on for less than a dollar, and mended a shirt I managed to put a hole in at the aforementioned awful hotel, making sure the repair was symmetrical on the other side. Amazing. Another reviewer commented on sunbathing - unsure why you'd come here to tan - go to the Club du Lac if you want that. I never used the pool but it looked clean and well kept, especially given surrounding foliage. The surrounding greenery is beautiful, internet was fast enough, AC gloriously cold, mosqui nets high-end top notch wall connected versions, and housekeeping well managed. Safes in all rooms for the security conscious, and decent nightly rates. The food was really excellent - I saw their kitchen and what they can do in there is nothing short of a miracle. Real coffee and croissants in the morning - lovely. It is almost adjacent to the US embassy, but hires only one unarmed guard if that is a concern. In short - a lovely stay, would stay again, would recommend to anyone.

Safe, secure, good breakfast - good option
This hotel is safe and secure. Not really located in the center, but there is not much to see in the center either. If you are mostly coming to relax, I would recommend staying at a hotel on the lake and take a taxi once or twice to the center, rather than take a taxi each day to the lake as a I did. That being said, the hotel was nice, the staff were friendly and helpful, wifi worked, a/c worked, and breakfast was very good. Very spacious bathroom, They provide you with a robe and slippers. I had room with a patio - but the patio opened onto the public walkway by the stairs - not exactly enticing to sit there. Hotel also had a small pool.

Disappointing for a Tripadvisor 4.5 star hotel
The Dolce Vita is a very pleasant place to stay. What's good. 1. The service is great and very friendly 2. The location is very peaceful and presumably quite secure (near US embassy) 3. The facilities are OK What's not so good. 1. The location, although peaceful, is quite a distance from the town centre, so you will need vehicle transport to get there. 2. Linked to 1. above, there are no obvious places to go out and get food or drinks close to the hotel 3. The rooms have a stale smell 4. The power supply was slightly problematic, although there is a back-up generator 5. The room I was in had a huge bathroom, but tiny shower, with barely enough space to wash comfortably in. Overall, I was disappointed that a hotel with a 4.5 Tripadvisor rating was not better than this. In my view, it's closer to a 3 star rating. They can do much better, with a bit of effort.

Great place to stay!
We stayed 6 nights at Hotel Dolce Vita and it was superb! The staff is so helpfull and friendly. We don't speak french so when ever we needed to organize something in town one of the staff went with us to translate. I have never stayed at a more welcoming hotel. If you are going to Bujumbura you would be stupid not to stay at Hotel Dolce Vita!

Hotel Dolce Vita Resort Was Great!
The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. Communication was a little difficult at times, as we do not speak French and only a few of the staff spoke English but that was expected before arrival, since English is not generally taught in the schools. The hotel has a backup generator system, so power was quickly re-established when the expected daily/nightly power outages occurred. Our suite & balcony overlooked the garden/pool area and was quite lovely. Although WIFI was furnished at no cost, it proved difficult at times to get a connection and I had to request a router re-boot to continue working. The restaurant & bar had a good selection and the food was quite tasty. Everything was fresh & flavorful. The daily complimentary bottled waters came in handy on our treks into the city.

Small Hotel with Pool and Conference Room
Small, secure, quiet hotel 10 minutes from Bujumbura Centre and close to the US Embassy with good WIFI. The staff were delightful and could not be more helpful. Their breakfast chef had not heard of poached eggs but was very happy to watch me cook my own. The next day he produced perfect poached eggs! We ate in the hotel restaurant every night because the food was so good. It sits on the top floor with a great view out over the rooftops and the setting sun. Comfortable bed with mosquito netting.We booked the hotel largely because of the picture of the swimming pool. Since the picture was taken, the pool has become overgrown with trees and bushes. As a result, the pool is always in shade and there is nowhere in the hotel to sit in the sun. So if you want to sunbathe, this is not for you. I explained this to the manager and she promised to cut the trees down...

A friendly oasis in Bujumbura
An all round excellent experience. Rooms large, clean, comfortable. Wifi worked well in my room on the ground floor although i heard this wasn't the case in all rooms. Restaurant excellent. Nice pool. Best thing of all though is the friendliness and efficiency of the staff. Just need to be aware this is not in the centre of town but there is a taxi rank just outside. Very good value hotel. Would definitely go back.

Quiet location
Although the staff were extremely friendly and helpful, our room was not very clean. The floor was dusty, the cupboard doors did not close properly and had dust on the shelves. The air conditioning did not work and windows could not be opened due to mosquitoes. The food was good and the upstairs bar was excellent. All in all, if the air con had been working, I would have rated the place a bit better, as dust is present all over Africa, anyway. We did not get a chance to have a dip in the pool, which looked quite inviting

lovely rooms in a quiet setting
the room had plenty of wardrobe space, tea making facilities, a TV with plenty of channels, soft robes, slippers and free toiletries. fresh fruit is delivered daily to the room - such a welcome treat.A commission free exchange bureau is offered - which is incredibly useful. The rooms are large and very well cleaned. the dinner menu is massive and very reasonable ( apart from the pizza - bit of a disaster). The staff are very helpful and attentive. The only downside, the AC units aren't very effective and we got very hot! , the choice for breakfast is limited. Be careful of taking a taxi directly from the hotel as prices were very overpriced, much haggling needed. In summary, the quiet peaceful setting, the swimming pool and the friendliness of staff means I would highly recommend and would definitely stay again - thank you.

dolce vita means sweet life. and yes, it was really a very nice experience to be a guest there. a safe place, a very friendly service, very nice and clean rooms (spacious bathroom), a good and not expensive restaurant offering kind of tradiational french style - burundi influenced - food. in found cold beer, a nice wine list and a small up stairs bar. the air contion might be a little too noisy. but in general - its really a very very good place to stay.

Weekend Getaway
Our room was really comfortable, the bathroom was huge, and we had hot water all of the time (sometimes an issue in Africa--wasn't the case here). The AC was always working, and when the power went out, there was a generator. Dolce Vita is cute and feels personal. Our favorite part was the breakfast--the croissants, meal, and coffee were fast, fresh, and tasty. The hotel is located by the US Embassy, a little far away from the beaches/center of town, but they were willing to help us with a shuttle when it was available (when it wasn't available for us to get out for our departure, they paid for our cab). However, please note that you need to let them know you need the shuttle an hour in advance. In other cases we took a cab--they called us cabs but then we were charged for the cab to make it's way to the hotel plus our fare. I'd recommend calling your own cab to have a fairer price. (We randomly met one that was super fair and didn't charge us foreigner rates, his name was Eddie #79 580 697--or just find your own in town and exchange numbers!). Overall, liked the place, found the staff to be professional and helpful with all of our needs. Would stay again!

Hotel staff was very attentive and friendly. The hotel is well located if you will be conducting business at the US Embassy which is a five minute walk away, but somewhat distant from the center of the city. The hotel provides free car service to (but not from) locations in the city and car was available on occasions that I needed to go downtown. They also picked me up at airport at no extra cost. Return pick up from locations in the city can be arranged for a cost only slightly more than cost of a taxi and drivers are definitely more careful than many cab drivers in the city. Breakfast each morning was tasty and quickly prepared. If I need to return to Bujumbura in the future, I definitely would stay here again.

The hotel staff is really trying to offer added value, free shuttle service, one way shuttle to town centre and on demand services like hiring a car and travel around with one of the staff members. Rooms are value for money, restaurant is definitely OK, with little extra's like warm towel before eating and good quality food. In direct neighbourhood hotel nothing to do really, for business good starting point. As competion is high they have to but they do a really good job.

Very nice little hotel
I was very happy with my stay at the Dolce Vita Resort. This is a small hotel with very dedicated staff. Many of them spoke very good English and all of them did their best to make me feel at home. The food was great. There were some issues with the internet connection but as there were plenty of routers there was very little down time. You can not ask for more in Burundi today. The location was a little bit off center but Bujumbura is so small and the traffic so easy that it made no difference. I higly recommend this hotel.
