This hotel is full of African charm - not resting on its fame (hotel Rwanda). Beautiful gardens, charming staff and great food

Kind, clean, comfortable!

Very warm, helpful and kind staff. Allowed me to check in very early. Lovely garden area and pool for relaxing. Great views from my balcony. Undoubtedly a little dated but all other aspects made up for this.

8/10 Very good

The property has historical relevance . It is extremely centrally located. Walking distance to restaurants. The rooms are comfortable and clean, although need some updating. I would recommend this hotel.
Teri, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I really liked this property. There is security upon entering the hotel so that’s comforting to know your items get scanned. They have 2 restaurants on site, a pool, and a massage tent. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful throughout each step of my needs. They even went as far as to surprise me for my birthday while eating at the restaurant!! I would go back here time and time again.
AINSLIE, 2-night trip

Staff very efficient and caring . Deborah upgraded me during my stay as I’ve asked to have room with garden view thanks . Food was excellent and the bar seated area is very cosy and open space .

I love your lobby, pool deck restaurants, gardens

Your lobby and dining room has been beautifully modernized, but it is anticlimactic to enter your guest rooms which looks like they haven't been upgraded in 20 years. You should also invest in memory foam mattresses.

Very nice place in Kigali

Beautiful hotel in a very nice location in Kigali.
Bruno, 2-night trip

Historic hotel that could use a bit of an update

This historic hotel is renowned as the place where Paul Rusesabagina courageously sheltered and saved over 1,500 individuals during the 1994 Rwandan genocide, a story vividly portrayed in the film "Hotel Rwanda." While there is a plaque honoring the hotel staff who tragically lost their lives during this dark period, it would have been meaningful to see a tribute specifically recognizing Rusesabagina's heroism. The hotel itself, though somewhat dated, offers a charming ambiance and is impeccably clean. The staff are exceptionally friendly and accommodating. Dining at the main floor restaurant is a treat, with a menu featuring delicious local cuisine. The included breakfast is decent, highlighted by a nice omelette bar, though nothing particularly extraordinary. We stayed in a spacious and comfortable junior suite, though the shag carpet certainly felt like a blast from the past. The pool area is inviting, and the Friday night cultural show is a must-see experience. Overall, we found the hotel to offer great value for the price.

Great stay

One night stay here after 2 weeks travelling around. Everyone was helpful and friendly. Staff around the pool worked hard to make sure everyone had beds & towels Food was great & view of the city was fabulous from our balcony.

Jean, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Nice hotel but some issues.

The hotel was fine. For some reason, the restaurant was closed for dinner but it was possible to get food at the bar. One night, I was woken 3 times by hotel staff for no good reason and the hotel is threatening to charge me for a cancelled reservation. There are some very good people working there but overall it was not my best hotel experience.
Bill, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The only comments was on the rooms. I felt to be small somewhat cramped especially the bathroom Did not like the tub found it slippery preferred a simple shower. Also TV only had one operating channel and only one coffee cup. But the lobby pool and grounds were superb, restful.
Richard, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property itself was very beautiful, but a little outdated. The rooms were nothing to write home about. However, all of the amenities that you needed were provided for. The staff was exceedingly helpful and was happy to arrange Tours, exchange money and really complete any task that you needed help with. The food at the hotel was good and the breakfast buffet was exceptional.
Nicole, 5-night trip
