"It's a big international hotel of the type found all over the world, and served its purpose for an overnight stay between journies. Lovely hot shower and a comfortable bed.
If I visit again and need a similar overnight stay I would head to Heaven." See all these reviews: 5n in Rwanda; 4n in Tanzania

"Kigali Serena Hotel review"
1 night Arrived 11 Mar 2018
"Arrived late and left early. Packed a very nice breakfast to take to the airport with us
They did not have hot water in our wing of the hotel. They acted surprised when we told them about it but clearly other people have reported it. I had mentioned on check-in that I would like to have a hot shower.
I think with this knowledge they could have put us in a different part of the hotel." See all these reviews: 8n in Rwanda; 4n in Tanzania

"Kigali Serena Hotel review"
1 night Arrived 19 Dec 2017
"This hotel was very high class -- it actually felt a little excessive.
It was a lovely place, and we got a suite. It was such a shame that we spent only about 9 hours there, because we got in so late and we were picked up so early in the morning.
I have nothing bad to say about the hotel at all." See all these reviews: 10n in Tanzania; 4n in Rwanda
