“Virunga Hotel stands out as a practical and family-oriented base for exploring the Volcanoes National Park; its central Ruhengeri location near the bus station and amenities such as the indoor pool and on-site dining make it a convenient choice. While rooms may show some age, the hotel's friendly service and attention to guest needs, including arranging trekking transport and providing early breakfasts, are definite advantages. Overall, I think it's a solid option for travelers prioritizing value and location.”
