The Grand Hotel is one of just a handful of international standard hotels in Kin. But it does what it says on the can; it's clean, comfortable, the rooms are relatively spacious, they have great views of the Congo River and the city, and the food is (just) up to international standard. Yes it is expensive, but that's mainly due... More

If you are travelling on per diem and have a choice, this is a fairly consistant pick. It has wifi in the rooms (slow but works) and breakfast that is decent. They have a good pool with a great workout facility. A lot of people that live in Kinshasa have memberships to the facilities. There is a casino adjoining the... More

When in Congo, there isn't much choice in terms of accommodation. However, when an hotel charges over 250 USD a night, a traveller is entitled to expect certain standards... ranging from amenities to cleanliness. We were not looking for luxury, obviously, but simple value for money, i.e., we wanted to pay for what it was worth and not have the... More

The Grand Hotel will do, but do not expect a hotel of real international standard or comfort. The rooms are OK; the bed and bathroom clean; you can have a rather impressive view of the Congo. It was quiet. Internet worked well enough. The restaurants were insanely expensive for what they are. I do recommend the poolside restaurant where you... More

This is Kinshasa and you can't expect much. But the Grand Hotel profit handsomely of the situation and considering its price, it's better go somewhere else! More

One thing that changed since January 2011at the Grand Hotel is that he internet access is no longer included in the price of the room. Now you will be... More

I stayed one night on business. The hotel service was acceptable at all levels. There is nothing fancy about the hotel, but was relatively clean, but not new. In the US, this hotel would be under renovation; in Africa, it was average. The food was good at the restaurant. Prices at the restaurant and stores in the hotel were high... More

Frankly, as far as hotels go the Grand is quite basic and quite expensive (US$246/night) at the same time, but in Kinshasa there really isn't anywhere else to stay. The rooms were large and clean and my room had a superb view out of the balcony overlooking the mighty Congo river in the distance. The bathroom was clean, albeit sparse... More

I stayed for ten days in January, my first trip back since 1989. My room was clean, with good bedding, fresh towels every day,plenty of hot water, and a reasonable supply of bathroom amenities. There was a safe in the room which was helpful given the security issues in Kinshasa. Itrs true that the hotel has slipped since its days... More
