    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.

    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.

    It’s a very quiet and nice place. It is very close to the centre. There is a mall at about 5 min distance walk. Right inside the mall, you can pretty much find anything. Restaurants and cafe are inside and beside the mall too. You can also find ATM in the mall. if you want postal service it is on the opposite side of the street. Pretty much everything is pass by. The staffs are really nice.

    Contrary to the information on booking.com there was no kettle in the room and reception said they do not provide this. The breakfast is charged at a flat rate of $12 per person (not a range, as it says on the site and I'd been told by the property itself) which is very expensive for what was offered. I don't understand why breakfast is not included in the room rate. We went up the road and had a much better full breakfast for half the cost.

    Our twin room was spacious and had a nice balcony leading onto the pretty garden and poolside. Good shower, wifi. Staff were helpful and courteous. From here you can easily walk to shops, the big hotels, cafes etc.

    The bed cover was tucked in quite tightly and it was difficult to air the room without being cold in the morning. There was also a slight mistake in the number of nights we were billed for on late check-in at 10pm, that was quickly rectified when we pointed it out. Always good to double-check.

    Very nice homely hotel in the middle of Kigali. The owner was very kind and greeted us each morning. The breakfast was excellent and plentiful, and the balcony provided much relaxation after a day out. The pool was very refreshing and the garden well-maintained!

    the bathroom is a little bit dark and shower water could be a bit stronger. room is a bit dim, but I'm not studying or working there anyway, so it wasn't a problem at all.

    Hotel staff extremely nice and helpful, and went all the way out to help solving problems, e.g. helping me to get out of the hotel when the road is closed due to CHOGM, sending money to my MTN mobile money account, exchange local currency at very reasonable rates, etc. My flight arrived in the very early morning, since my room is empty the night before, hotel manager Andre has kindly offered early check in for free. And I got a very nice view from my balcony! Very strong wifi connection.
