Stayed at the hotel Memling for one week. Every thing costs a fortune. they said it's the best in town. They don't care about customers. Then my client took me to a new hotel called the ROYAL HOTEL. what a difference. Smaller but refreshingly new and clean. Price range is the same but includes full breakfast , and WIFI, Great... More

I stayed here for four days in April 2011.If you are going to be in KInshasa, know that you will spend lot....in hotels. The city has one of the most expensive hotels in the world-at least in comparison to the services you get. So it is refreshing that even if you pay more, Memling at leats offers you the confort...

I give this 4/5 stars, but remember that the high score is all relative. My hotel rating is typically based on what I would expect given the price, category, location, etc. Objectively, the rooms are worse than what you find at a Motel 6. However, this is the best that Kinshasa has to offer. If you are given a choice... More

An acceptable hotel for west and central african standards, but what drives me crazy (and after so many years still can't get used to the robbery), is that they charge you $30 for a lousy internet connection, and like $40 for a breakfast!!!!! Now, if you would pay like $150/night, nothing to complain. But they charge $270! Everything is expensive... More

Great location, right in town and just off the main road. Perfect for Business not great for families. The chef is TOPS!! The French restaurant is superb but pricey. Rooms are standard to a bit small. Quite expensive as rooms start at about US$260 per night WITHOUT breakfast (+US$26)

Memling's letterhead shows five stars, much to my amusement. Especially since my work trip ended with four days at the fabulous Hotel de Crillon in Paris, I had to smile at the five Memling stars--purely aspirational. Rooms are worthy of a three star, but oh well: this is the best you can do in Kinshasa. * Rooms: Spacious enough and... More

Stayed at this hotel for one night. Check in and check out took quite long (actually it was very slow), apparantly staff is not used to credit cards. swimming pool was ok since it is the only way to exercise. the rooms are basic, for one night just fine. the neighbourhood is not very welcoming though the hotel is central....

I've stayed at The Grand Hotel a number of times but the last two visits I've been at The Memling. It is just so much better!! The rooms are lovely and clean, service good, gym has machines in it, the food is good and a fair price, I could go on. OK so Kinshasa doesn't have a good deal to... More

But still it's in Kinshasa and the rooms are pretty depressing, facilities pretty limited and the restaurant plainly awful. Service is sometimes bad sometimes worse. Still better than its competition...
