A bit of Heaven in Kigali
Pros:

We found all the staff at Heaven Restaurant to be very friendly and professional. We had Mariam helping us for several mornings and she provided a cheerful start to the day. The food is good and the atmosphere is lovely.

It was magical and beautiful!
Pros:

The bed and pillows were so comfortable. I requested what brand they were. I found out that they were specifically for that hotel.
Even though I didn’t use the spa, it was beautiful and relaxing on the way to the gym. Good gym equipment and open 24/7. Nice little bar and restaurant. Good food and drinks. Would recommend this hotel 100%. Great location and very affordable.

Cons:

Restaurant said it was open until 11 pm on the hotel information but they turned people away at 10 pm. Breakfast buffet pricey. Would be nice to get something other than buffet.

Nice Accommodation in Kigali, Rwanda
Pros:

My adult children and o stayed at the Heaven Boutique on June 23. We booked two rooms, which were small, but very nice. The staff was helpful, and transported us to the Genocide Museum (which is close by) and to the airport the following morning. There is tea and coffee in the room. Breakfast is included at the restaurant a short walk up from the hotel, which served the best gluten free pancakes I have ever had. My daughter and daughter in law both felt the gluten free pancakes were better than the regular. This was a quick stop over on close to a three week adventure in Africa, snd the hotel met out needs well.

Such a disappointment in treatment
Pros:

I have had a lousy experience trying to get reimbursed for a reservation made in Jan. for this past month that I needed to cancel due to the US Dept of State's warning about Ebola. First of all they deducted the payment from my cc in March- why? At the time of my reservation there was no cancellation policy noted. Then my colleague and I had to rebook a few different times because out booking thru Bookings.com wasn't registering appropriately. We finally got that straightened out- we were able to cancel those bookings without a problem (nothing had been charged on those, just the earlier one). The hotel sent me to another organization to get repaid, and then that one sent me to another one. Still no satisfaction. I then contacted Bookings who wrote to them and asked them to reimburse me. Still no response. This has not been a Heavenly experience, more like hell to me/ I'm so disappointed in them and once Ebola lifts I'll remember how I was treated. Shabbily.

Restaurant extraordinaire !
Pros:

L'hôtel est confortable malgré de petites chambres. ! La terrasse permet de boire son café tranquillement et tout est propre! J'ai particulièrement apprécié le service du soir qui vient préparer le lit et la moustiquaire pendant qu'on est au restaurant !
Le restaurant est exceptionnel ainsi que le personnel du restaurant !

Cons:

Le manque d'effort pour faire un tarif plus avantageux a une personne du groupe malgré des chambres disponibles mais de catégorie un peu supérieure! Nous étions un groupe et l'un d'entre nous a dû partir dormir dans un autre hôtel ! C'est dommage !

Amazing stay at Hemingways retreat hotel
Pros:

Right from the start you feel like you are “home” the smiles and the warmth was spectacular! It was so beyond refreshing to just see so much human kindness!! The hotel itself was immaculate clean and beautiful! We went for a walk with a warm and welcoming young lady named Nina!! She helped us bargain at the market and made sure we weren’t taken advantage of! She also took us to see the Belgian memorial! For sure that’s a must to see and only a 10 minute walk from the hotel. The food was beyond delicious! My daughter had the beef tenderloin and all she wanted to do was find the chef to thank him!!! Even more special was the wonderful waitress named Josiane!! What a breath of fresh air! She was beyond polite and she just has a special soul! She was just there to please! Nothing was to much for her!! Ask for her when you are there you will not be disappointed! All in all I rate this hotel a 12 out of 10!!! Such a special place to stay! Thank you to everyone!

Relaxed stay in Kigali
Pros:

I stayed at this hotel for almost one week during a trip to Rwanda, where I was speaking at a conference. The hotel is very nice. I was given a large room with a good toilet and a large bed with mosquito net and a TV screen (although I failed to understand how to watch normal broadcast TV. The hotel comprises a small but nice pool and gives access to gym at nearby Hemingway hotel. The hotel also comprises a very nice restaurant overlooking the city. The hotel is located not far from the center of Kigali (about 10min walking) which is a plus in a city where it takes ages to get anywhere due to to the geography and traffic. Overall a very nice stay!
