Thumbs up to the staff who were so helpful and courteous. If you're looking for an affordable, quiet and decent place to stay, i would definitely recommend staying here. The rooms have a bit of a safari feel to them; the floors can get cold, so i would suggest carrying/wearing slippers. Make sure to request one of the rooms in front of the pool, the view is lovely at night. Also if you're looking for a ride to get you around Kigali, ask for Alphonse. The washrooms are starting to age a bit, but it's manageable if you're not staying too long (also the rooms are cleaned everyday). Enjoy!

Stayed for 2 weeks for a business trip. Overall, pretty basic, but good location, comfortable bed, and very pretty lounge/pool area. Was surprised to find that the room didn't have very many usual amenities - no phone, no shampoo/shower gel, no A/C, no room safe, no pen or notepad. The wifi speed was good, and the continental breakfast was good. Unfortunately I had $40 go missing from my suitcase while I stayed here (I knew I was risking it a bit, but was hoping there would be a room safe), and the hotel staff didn't handle it in a satisfactory way. No apologies, nothing really, just awkward nodding and walking away. So my impression of the service, overall, is not very positive. But if nothing goes wrong, they seem perfectly nice. For 4-5 nights I could also hear bass from loud music somewhere, until about 6AM, bothered me the first couple of nights and then I got used to it. Not sure if it was coming from a nearby building, but the thudding was pretty annoying.

6/10

Fine hotel, basic thing like fan or ac not thr, limited choices of food nd very limited for breakfast,

8/10

The airport pick up was great. Nice guy who waited for hours because the flight was late. The location is fine, but a bit isolated. The rooms are quite nice. But there is not air-conditioning and they did not have fans available. The staff was fine, but not overly friendly or helpful. Breakfast was adequate, but nothing hot. It was OK for a one night stay.

4/10

The hotel did not provide me a room what I paid for. quite disappointed.

8/10

キガリタワーまで歩いて１５分程度と立地は良いと思います。（夜は、ホテルまでの道に街灯はあるものの暗いので、タクシーで帰るのがベター） プールは、おそらく毎日掃除しているためか、すごくきれいです。 朝食のオムレツには、地元で採れた野菜が入っていて、ピーマンが香り豊かですごくおいしかったです。 ホテルスタッフの対応も丁寧でやさしく、おすすめします。

8/10

The hotel was nice, although not amazing enough to justify the price. It might just be that all of Rwanda is pretty expensive. Clean room, good breakfast and a very nice pool for relaxing at. The staff were very friendly, but it was a bit difficult to get information out of them, for example maps or things to do in Kigali. Wifi worked sometimes, others not so much - a few times I had to ask the staff to reset the router. Good place overall.

2/10

Réservation quelques jours plus tôt et pas de problèmes : nuitées payées par avance... Arrivée en soirée après avoir averti... Pas de chambre : transfert à un hotel quasi-vide et sans réel confort, à quelques Km. Je ne juge pas l'endroit où j'ai logé ! En revanche, la façon d'agir d' "Inside Africa" est déplacée et peu professionelle car ils ont certainement encaissé le différentiel de coût : si hotel.com accepte ça, ce n'est pas normal !

ein hotel in bester lage und sehr nettem umfeld (garten,swimming pool) und hilfsbereitem personal -katastrophale einrichtung des zimmers und mehr als magelhaftes bad mit rudimentärem hygienezustand!

4/10

No amenities on the bathroom, just soap. It looks like one of those hotels that are really nice when they open for business, and they slowly start decaying as years pass by... Hotel personnel looks like they don't even care about you, you're practically a ghost for them. As I said...too expensive for what it offers.

8/10

The hotel is conveniently located, intimate, friendly and an overall fine place to stay. The staff is kind, attentive and helpful and this is a very calm and pleasant place to stay. I spent much of my time working in my room, enjoying the high quality internet connection and looking out over a really nice view of Kigali. Only one word of caution, on weekends, the sounds of a disco go on all night. If this sort of thing bothers you and you will be there on a Friday or Saturday night, ask for a room in the back. They aren't as nice and don't have any view, but they are quieter.

Mooi hotelletje, vanuit alle 10 kamers op b.g. loop je zo de tuin in, rustige plek met mooi uitzicht, leuk om je ontbijt buiten te eten. Ontbijtbuffet is simpel maar gezond (bruin brood, cereals, fruit, omeletje, goede koffie, etc). Personeel is behulpzaam. Maar inrichting vd kamer is niet heel handig, er is geen bedlampje, bijvoorbeeld. Afwerking met (soms) goedkope materialen is wat irritant: de douchestang zat los en op dag 3 zakte ik (80 kg, alleen) door het bed.. Werd opgelost door me naar een andere kamer te verhuizen. Nadeel van dit hotel is dat je de deur uit moet om 's middags of 's avonds te eten. Wel zijn er verschillende restaurants om de hoek, dus geen echt probleem. Zoek je vertier dan is dit niet de plek, zoek je rust, dan is het een lekkere plek.

Great small-type hotel that is ideal for couple of days stop-over stay

6/10

It's clean, well-positioned and the staff do everything they can to help. From that respect you can't fault it. BUT it's not really an hotel.....if you expect an hotel to have a restaurant, bar or anything other than rooms. Which this doesn't. Just a room with a broken TV! And in comparison to 'proper' hotels very close by it's as, or more, expensive. I can't think of any reason to return other than the staff who did everything possible to maximise the experience in the absence of anything you could describe as a facility!

8/10

Thought it was a good place, easy to walk to town. Does need maintenance and the staff need to speak better English but on the whole a lovely time there.

8/10

The accommodation was lovely. It is beautifully appointed and the views of the city by and night are brilliant. We have hesitation recommending this hotel to others. Minor problems that needed to be fixed but on the whole a lovely experience.

10/10

I thought the place was a great find. Everyone was so nice and the place was clean. The rooms were big. They had internet, a pool and great views of the city. I would def go back.

This was just the place for this older woman, in Kigali for a week to visit a friend. My stay there went very smoothly, from check-in to check-out.
