The non-commercial location gives it a very residential decibel level. Rooms are simple and small...no problem,. Nice place for an overnight break. Liked the food. The best place are the few umbrellas for outdoor dining.

A group of 17 of us stayed here for about a week and we loved it. The breakfast every morning was amazing, they even offered to have coffee and toast for us on a day where we were leaving at 5am. The rooms were nice (extra plus we had hot water every day) and even though mine overlooked the street...

We also had a problem with mold in our room. But the manager changed us into a much better room the next morning without us even asking for it. We also were surprised there were no fans but a wonderful employee named Saturday ran out late at night and bought us one. After those adjustments were made our stay was...

This place isn't exactly cheap. The rooms are small and dirty. My colleague shared his bed with cockroaches. There's a bar next door which is very loud and plays music until 2 or 3 in the morning.

OK, I was working for an NGO on a project I believed in so wanted to stay in a mid-range hotel to keep costs down. I sometimes stay top notch and also completely rough so I am happy with either as long as the place delivers what it promises. Frankly, everything in this place was broken. The room had no...

Decent enough location and a pleasant enough 10 mins walk in to the city. Take it easy though, especially if you're just getting used to the altitude as it's uphill in to Kigali.
The hotel itself is pretty good . . . . . friendly, welcoming, polite helpful staff, but the rooms could do with a bit of work. I...
