    Just what we needed.

    The hotel is simple, comfortable and functional, just what we needed. It is a ten minute walk from the centre of town and is located off a leafy avenue. When we tried to depart on our trip we found all the major roads closed for an event and had no idea where to go. We returned to the hotel to ask directions. This proved to be very complicated so the owner interupted her breakfast and drove ahead of us through a number of back roads to the outskirts of town. This was invaluable as we had a time limit to get to our destination. Great service.

    Fantastic hotel. Probably the best in Kigali. The hotel is an oasis of calm in the middle of the city. We were in Kigali for a conference and we looked forward to returning to the hotel every day to relax in the beautiful garden by the pool. All the rooms have a balcony overlooking the gardens. It's worth paying a small amount extra for the superior rooms which are really very nice. Breakfast is expensive for Kigali but the chef will make you your preferred style of eggs. One thing we particularly appreciated was the excellent communication before our arrival. As a large group, we had multiple changes in the number of rooms and set-ups required, but the manager and staff were very accommodating. The location is also great - in the centre of town and opposite the Hotel Les Milles Collines. We liked the hotel so much, we booked it again when we came back through Kigali.

    Although there are restaurants nearby, there is no restaurant in the hotel for an evening meal. The pool is pretty small.

    Beautiful gardens, lovely space to have breakfast, and sit during the day. Room was large, and had everything I needed. Really friendly staff.

    Breakfast not included but they accommodated our family well. Double bed nets didn't quite fit and single nets possibly needed cleaning. No view from our room or AC but didn't need it. TV only had one channel available.

    Very central location, 5 minite walk to Central area. Our 2 kids enjoyed the pool and resident parrots. Breakfast was good. Clean and very quiet location, staff super helpful.

    The breakfast is grossly overpriced ($15). It's not worth that money at all. Do not fall for this trap. Walk down to the centre, it's just 10 minutes walking, there are plenty of eating places there and you can eat more and better than this hotel, paying $5 or less.

    This is a great place, ran by very friendly and helpful staff. Great location too. The rooms are huge, and include a large living room and a large room, plus a terrace with view to the swimming pool. The price is reasonable, for this type of facilities, although is more expensive than the the average hotel in Rwanda (which does not have facilities as good as this one, so the price is fair).

    There is no restaurant. If you have time to dine out, this is not an issue. The local app to order food in, is not available for non-African mobile phone numbers. The bed was hard, like in many African hotels.

    Great spacious room (no.14) with its own little terrace. Nice view on the garden, so a nice quiet place in the city. Close by a supermarket.

    Some noisy guests in the garden late at night.

    The efficient, flexible and attentive management, kind staff, the well-kept property with attention to detail, the pool, and the beautiful location all make this place exceptional.

    - the breakfast was too expensive for its value (15USD p.Person/Day) - except for the well stocked fridge in the room with drinks there was no other way to purchase drinks on the premise.

    We liked + the central location of the hotel + the pool and the small garden around it + the room was spacious + there was a fridge in the room + it was quiet

    The breakfast selection did not seem worth the cost, and not having coffee available all day was a bummer. The bottled drinks in my mini fridge had mold on the labels, like they'd either been in there a long time and/or they had been in the fridge when it was turned off and condensation caused the labels to mold. I also noticed something weird growing on the inside of the bottle of red wine I had, but because the bottle and the wine were both dark, I only saw it after I had already drank it.

    I felt very safe, being a woman traveling alone. The fresh espresso was excellent. The pool and garden area are spectacularly beautiful. I loved having a balcony overlooking the garden/pool. I greatly appreciated the airport shuttle service; the shuttle driver was really kind and was even willing to drive me around the city. The location is great; having a mall with a grocery store and cafes within walking distance was awesome. The gentleman at the lobby desk on the night shift was also genuinely friendly and helpful. One of the parrots said hello to me, which was a nice laugh.
