Zdecydowanie polecam ten hotel
Pros:

Śniadania bardzo dobre. Spory wybór dań i owoców. Bardzo dobra restauracja, dobre menu. Dobra lokalizacja.

Cons:

Pokoje wymagają odświeżenia, ale nie jest źle.
Woda w basenie niestety bardzo zimna, ale czysta.
Zaproponowano nam bardzo drogi transfer na lotnisko- cztery razy droższy, niż miejscowa firma.

Great hospitality in the heart of the city
Pros:

Really enjoyed our time here! The breakfast was a highlight every morning, and the staff really go out of their way to make you feel welcome. The location is perfect for getting around Kigali.

Pro-tip: Definitely book the airport pickup through the hotel. It’s 30 USD and takes all the stress out of arriving; it was very efficient. Just a heads-up for history buffs: the hotel doesn't really lean into its historical fame, so don't expect a lot of exhibits or information on-site. Regardless, it’s a wonderful place to stay!

A great stay at an iconic hotel
Pros:

The room was clean and spacious. The bathroom was a blessing after 4 days mountain biking to have a really hot shower and fluffy towels! Great views over Kigali from the balcony.
Breakfast buffet was fresh, varied and tasty.
Portions from the restaurants were huge with a good variety of local and international food.
Staff were happy and helpful. I got a complimentary late check out when I asked about airport transfer which was much appreciated.

Cons:

Room furnishings and decor are a little dated/tired.

Hotel mítico en el centro de Kigali
Pros:

Quería alojarme aquí después de ver la película “Hotel Rwanda”, que creo que toda persona que venga a este país debería ver. Hotel muy de los años 70, renovado, en el centro de la ciudad, con excelentes vistas. Desayuno acorde a la categoría. Tranquilidad.

Cons:

No encontré ninguna referencia a los difíciles momentos que atravesó este hotel durante el genocidio a los tutsis.
