Nice view - but bad service and bad upkeep of room
I landed at 1:00 am, and they did not send by airport pick-up. After waiting for 30 minutes and calling them, they made arrangements to bring me to the hotel. This was despite sending them several emails and making an international call, and finally getting an email confirmation. Other than that night's front desk guy, all other front desk staff were unfriendly and unhelpful.. When you shower the water floods the bathroom.

Great hotel with rooftop pool and gym. Rooms and apartments are available for larger groups. Right next to Kigali city market - 5min walk. Great staff. There is some construction in the area, so check for your room location.

Staff unfriendly and not helpful at all. Outdated rooms and overall. They were late for my airport pickup. Breakfast there were few vegan options and I had to get my own coffee while many others around me were served.

If you’re looking for a clean convenient place to stay, this is it!
The restaurant staff could do with more training in being adaptable to clients requests but that may be a hotel restaurant policy. Otherwise a great stay
