The place isn’t anywhere near as nice as the pictures. Nice staff but that’s about it. Overpriced like everything else in Rwanda.

A disappointment

This hotel is not true to pictures. There were no mosquito nets and the beds were not 4 poster ones. In fact, one of our rooms had mismatched beds altogether. The beds are on the floor and the mattresses are like cement slabs. The construction of this place seemed hurried and lacked polish. This hotel is SO not worth $200/night! The only things that we enjoyed here were the friendly staff and good breakfast, but even these did not make up for this place’s 2-star quality.

hôtel de qualité

Etablissement avec très grandes chambres et des lits immenses avec moustiquaires. Le restaurant est également de qualité, avec des petits-déjeuners copieux. Le personnel est disponible et professionnel. La vue est superbe. Le seul point noir : le bruit, vu que l'hôtel est situé à proximité de la route. Il faut très difficile de trouver le sommeil à cause des camions qui circulaient à proximité.
