A hotel restaurant near UR-Huye campus, serving everything from Rwandan dishes to pizza.

Light House Hotel sits in Mukoni, Tumba, close enough to the University of Rwanda's Huye campus to draw a steady student and staff crowd. The menu runs through African, Chinese, American, and Italian dishes, pizza included, built for regulars and visiting conference guests.

A gym, sauna, and convenience store came later. They sit alongside the original rooms and restaurant.

Good to know

Menu covers a wide range of cuisines, useful if a group can't agree on one style of food.

Nice & centrally located hotel, fairly priced (In 2025, I paid 20k per night for a big room with hot water with a private balcony, great view on the surrounding hills). There is a restaurant inside with a variety of options. For a little extra, you may access a sauna where lemon tea is served between sessions if desired. They accept card payments.

Light house hotel stay was incredibly comfortable, with a spacious, well-maintained room that had modern amenities, a cozy bed, and a clean, relaxing atmosphere. The bathroom was equally impressive, with high-quality toiletries and a powerful shower. The food was outstanding, offering a wide variety of delicious options from a fresh breakfast spread to flavorful dinner dishes, all beautifully presented. The staff was attentive and friendly, ensuring both the room and dining experience exceeded expectations, making my stay truly memorable.

We stopped to have lunch on our way to nyungwe. We both had pilau rice with chicken and cooked vegetables, it was very good and very abundant , we couldn't finish it. It took about 30 minutes to prepare. Price was very good

A place of great ambiance for a place for a person looking for a hideout and a place to connect him to all of southern Rwanda. On the way from Kigali to Burundi and to Nyugwe forest and other key place. Not forgetting this 3* Hotel is located in Huye which is considered as the education hub of the Nation with up over 5 Higher Education Institutes and place with a museum, Genocide Monument, of the major stadium and royal heritages since it was the colonial town and former capital. It a great place to be.

The team is amazing. From the outside the hotel looks aged but the design with the inner court and the hanging oversized peace baskets takes this feeling away. There is a restaurant on top with good food. They have different sized rooms. My room was big and clean. I had access to a balcony
