Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
My luggage was left behind in Cairo for the two nights I spent in Kigali. The staff at the hotel could not have been more understanding or helpful. They sent someone to get me a toothbrush and toothpaste, accompanied me into town to buy clothes and helped me to contact the airline as the airport staff would not give me their local contact details. I cannot praise them highly enough.

Highlights from a short stay
The staff is very helpful and kind, I can only say good things about the interaction I had with them. For the first time ever I also got my shirts ironed properly and at a very affordable price. The room isn't in great condition: very stained carped and stench of smoke. In my view, the restaurant is overpriced if you want to have lunch/dinner. Breakfast was decent, though.

Great hotel staff
I recently spent a week in the city and found a home away from home. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The hotel is a perfect place to relax after a busy day. It is a great place to have dinner guest as the restaurant does a great job with both food and service. I will look forward to my next stay.

While the per night cost was good, for a three star I would have expected more in terms of comfort, cleanliness and engagement of the staff.
