Built for people the hub already attracts
Diaspora & visiting partners
Burundians coming home, partners flying in for a project sprint, embassies hosting consultants.
Founders in residence
Short stays for entrepreneurs joining a TunaShare cohort or working with the ecosystem for a few weeks.
Backpackers & travellers
Simple, clean and central. Perfect for travellers who want a real connection with local creatives.
A small guest house, well-loved
Simple, clean, well-located
Not a luxury hotel — and that's the point. A reliable, friendly base that costs less and connects you to far more.
