Pros:

Great location—very safe both inside and outside. I even took long walks at night on the well-lit streets. The included breakfast was excellent, freshly made to order from a menu. I would definitely return here next time I am in the city!

A Pleasant and Comfortable Stay – Thank You, Sainte Famille
Pros:

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the hotel, the atmosphere, the warm reception staff, and the kind Thomas,
the dining room team, the bar, breakfast (great omlette)
the cleanliness of the room and housekeeping, and the positive attitude toward every request we made.

We truly felt at ease, and it was a pleasure to return to our room and the hotel each day.
At night, I went to the bar and I had an excellent ginger tea. Highly recommended!

Cons:

The room did not have a hair dryer, but when I requested one, it was brought to me quickly and with a smile.

Good stay, good staff, good food, good vibes.
Pros:

I really enjoyed my stay in this hotel. The staff is super pleasant and attentive, while giving guests their space, which I find important. The food is totally fantastic! (Naan bread must be tried). My room was spotless clean. Sound isolation from outside noise not optimal, but got used to it after the first night. WiFi was problematic, many dropouts, this should be fixed. The hotel is conveniently close to the airport and that is a major plus as Kigali tends to have traffic jams. Recommended!

Slow restaurant service at dinner time in the evening

Geen douche mogelijkheid
Pros:

De staf is erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam. De kamers zijn goed en schoon maar het grootste euvel is dat het bijna onmogelijk is om te douchen. Ze zijn kokend heet en niet te regelen. Zelfs een koude douche is onmogelijk omdat er dan slechts druppels uit de kraan komen. Meer reizigers hebben hier tijdens verblijf over geklaagd maar probleem werd niet opgelost.

It was fair and did match the low price. However there is great potential for Sante Famille Hotel.
Pros:

The hotel is in a good location to the meeting venue. The room I had was spacious and cleaned daily and water bottles were made available daily. The staff was friendly and communicated with me before arrival. I enjoyed the breakfast, especially the African tea,

Cons:

There was a persistent smell of drainage in my bathroom so that I had to keep the door closed always. The shower was not mixing hot and cold water properly so I did not enjoy my morning showers. Please improve on the availability of TV stations, especially local channels that show us visitors what is happening in Rwanda.
