BELLE VUE HOTEL

At the entrance to the city from Kinshasa, this former hotel was a reference point some 30 years ago, as well as a mandatory stop on the road to Muanda. Today, it is still awaiting financing for a rehabilitation. All brick, it retains a vintage charm with its small tree-lined patio and pavilions. It is generally old but clean, so don't be too demanding on the service and comfort level because the prices are controlled. The chef, in place for 25 years, is still at his post.
