Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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

Decent but showing its age

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.

Good Hotel in a good location

The Hotel is in a great location. Staff are very friendly. Breakfast was great. My only complaint was the room we were given. The room was too old for the amount we paid. Other than that, all was good. We shall definitely be back.
