The property itself was very beautiful, but a little outdated.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.

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.

Nice historic hotel (it was where refugees were sheltered during the genocide), great bar/restaurant(s) and pool. The rooms however are showing their age, the carpet is stained and the shower sometimes goes from hot to cold unexpectedly. But overall, quite decent.

This hotel is full of African charm - not resting on its fame (hotel Rwanda). Beautiful gardens, charming staff and great food
Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024

10/10

This hotel was beautiful, the service excellent, and the staff could not have been more welcoming and friendly. This is a historical hotel which was a victim/and witness to the genocide of 1994. And yet they have carried on and risen above the horrific events of that time; and have turned this hotel into the beautiful place it is. There is a plaque at the front of the hotel commemorating the hotel staff that had been killed during this time of genocide. God bless these people for their courage in being able to move on with their lives. I would highly recommend anyone wanting to go to Kigali to stay at this hotel
