Reviews of Hotel des Mille Collines

"The hotel is clean, modern and generally lovely, and has quite a bit of character.

The lobby and common areas, including the pool and restaurant, are very nice and modern. The room we stayed in was perfectly adequate but not extraordinary.

The hotel has an historical charm that adds to its character." See all these reviews: 8n in Zambia; 6n in Rwanda

"Unique history that thank goodness most hotels would not have. Had security check oint for entering hotel. A coupleof blocks down the street from the presidential palace in a more residential area. Close to banksand shopping. The prices are a little high for the food and beverage considerig this is Africa. There is a good restaurant a few blocks away called Heaven(same prices) but an alternative for dinner if you are staying 2 or more nights. Heaven is also a boutique hotel."

"I arrived late on Sunday and left fairly early the following day. It is therefore not really possible to give a comprehensive account. However for the time I was there the staff were extremely attentive, the rooms comfortable and the food good." See all these reviews: 12n in Rwanda

"Since we only stayed for an overnight we didn't have an opportunity to use all their services but everything was fine. Room was a typical hotel/motel room. Very Clean.
The breakfast was fabulous! Everything you could possibly want to eat for breakfast was available!

We did have dinner and lunch as well. Good food. We did sit out under the large canopy near the bar and it was a lovely respite from the city.

I would recommend it to future clients." See all these reviews: 5n in Rwanda

"High quality hotel - check in was very easy and efficient, room was comfortable and quiet. The main bar area was a little noisy and difficult to get a meal. Ate at the La Panorama restaurant - meal was excellent but service a little slow. View across Kigali is excellent.

SImba from Primate Safaris was excellent - really went the extra mile to ensure we had a wonderful trip. He made our trip very easy and informative. He was really interesting to talk to regarding the genocide and the subsequent reconciliation. So overall meeting him added significantly to what was intended primarily as a visit to the gorillas.

Simba also kept watch on other guests and ensured that they were looked after. The morning of our second visit to the gorillas two guests had some difficulty and Simba made sure they were looked after even though they were not his responsibility. He was known to many of the guests and very popular. He is customer focussed and has a lot to offer to tourism in Rwanda." See all these reviews: 12n in Zambia; 3n in Rwanda; 2n in Kenya

"Clean, comfortable. The hotel had key card problems. However, we could leave our room and they brought us our key card.

Beautiful dining room on the top of the hotel. Good food. The only drawback was that our room was just above the outdoor restaurant. There was very loud music (albeit, good American music) until 9:00. Thank goodness it ended early since we had to be up by 4." See all these reviews: 3n in Tanzania; 3n in Rwanda

"Average to nice hotel with friendly people and the most beautiful grounds.

Hard to believe there was so much tragedy in that area. That horror is behind them but they do not forget." See all these reviews: 5n in Tanzania; 4n in Rwanda; 2n in Zanzibar
