"Nice hotel with 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

"Good for an overnight in Kigali."
Having said that it is a little tired and the rooftop restuarant food didn't really justify the price (we ate better food at various, more modest, locations throughout Rwanda). The restaurant is now to be refurbished (Jan 13).
There is not a hint that this was "Hotel Rwanda". Has a good sized pool and internet access." See all these reviews: 13n in Rwanda
"Nice hotel, restaurant service a bit ropey."
We retreated to the 4th floor restaurant which has beautiful open air views over Kigali. The food here is OK, but they couldn't cope with a vegetarian - although a strange mix of a plate of spaghetti, potatoes and veg turned up eventually. The service was incredibly slow and we waited an hour for our food, which was OK as we had nowhere to be, but for the country the prices are quite high in the restaurant so I was expecting better service.
Breakfast the next morning in the same restaurant was a well organised and extensive buffet. For the breakfast and view alone I'd recommend this hotel and if its not party night I'd suggest eating dinner at thee pool bar." See all these reviews: 5n in Tanzania; 3n in Rwanda; 1n in Zanzibar

Tables were not cleared and tables were not set correctly. Food often ran out and trying to order an omelette was particularly difficult. We did not try dinner." See all these reviews: 13n in Rwanda
"Disappointing"
We had dinner at the Pool Bar restaurant - our order was apparently forgotten so we had to remind the staff and waited over an hour. When the meal came (vegetable lasagne) it was of a very poor quality.
The hotel was very clean and the room was comfortable" See all these reviews: 11n in Rwanda
