Hôtel Des Mille Collines

Historical property with poor room condition

I had an excellent stay at this historic hotel. It was spotlessly clean and nicely decorated. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The bar and restaurant were also very good. Great views over the surrounding area and within east walking distance of the city center. I would thoroughly recommend!

This place was wonderful and the staff went above and beyond to serve you. The food at the breakfast was enough to last us the day.

From being picked up at Kigali airport, to arriving at the hotel and each day thereafter it only got better! Christian was amazing at check in. Bernard, Yves, Claudette, Collins, Arnaud and Bien Fait mase each day amazing from their warm greetings and smiles each day to their suggestions for sights to visit! Thank you so much!

Great hotel, staff was awesome.

The Bar was well-stocked, the team was professional and friendly, and the Fresh Fruit Juice variety was outstanding! Annnnd Drum roll...The Live Thursday Gospel Live Music, those lads were amazing, with each song they sang touched me, and I really felt at home.

Quite retro

Staff very efficient and caring . Deborah upgraded me during my stay as I’ve asked to have room with garden view thanks . Food was excellent and the bar seated area is very cosy and open space .

Outstanding customer service - a lesson in hospitality.

Your lobby and dining room has been beautifully modernized, but it is anticlimactic to enter your guest rooms which looks like they haven't been upgraded in 20 years. You should also invest in memory foam mattresses.

This historic hotel is renowned as the place where Paul Rusesabagina courageously sheltered and saved over 1,500 individuals during the 1994 Rwandan genocide, a story vividly portrayed in the film "Hotel Rwanda." While there is a plaque honoring the hotel staff who tragically lost their lives during this dark period, it would have been meaningful to see a tribute specifically recognizing Rusesabagina's heroism. The hotel itself, though somewhat dated, offers a charming ambiance and is impeccably clean. The staff are exceptionally friendly and accommodating. Dining at the main floor restaurant is a treat, with a menu featuring delicious local cuisine. The included breakfast is decent, highlighted by a nice omelette bar, though nothing particularly extraordinary. We stayed in a spacious and comfortable junior suite, though the shag carpet certainly felt like a blast from the past. The pool area is inviting, and the Friday night cultural show is a must-see experience. Overall, we found the hotel to offer great value for the price.

One night stay here after 2 weeks travelling around. Everyone was helpful and friendly. Staff around the pool worked hard to make sure everyone had beds & towels Food was great & view of the city was fabulous from our balcony.

Very warm, helpful and kind staff. Allowed me to check in very early. Lovely garden area and pool for relaxing. Great views from my balcony. Undoubtedly a little dated but all other aspects made up for this.

The hotel was fine. For some reason, the restaurant was closed for dinner but it was possible to get food at the bar. One night, I was woken 3 times by hotel staff for no good reason and the hotel is threatening to charge me for a cancelled reservation. There are some very good people working there but overall it was not my best hotel experience.

The only comments was on the rooms. I felt to be small somewhat cramped especially the bathroom Did not like the tub found it slippery preferred a simple shower. Also TV only had one operating channel and only one coffee cup. But the lobby pool and grounds were superb, restful.

The property itself was very beautiful, but a little outdated. The rooms were nothing to write home about. However, all of the amenities that you needed were provided for. The staff was exceedingly helpful and was happy to arrange Tours, exchange money and really complete any task that you needed help with. The food at the hotel was good and the breakfast buffet was exceptional.

Very clean good food kindly personal fantastic service Recommends to all customers that like to visit Kigaki

I loved that the property was very clean and in a safe location with plenty of things to do within walking distance

Amazing service and very warm welcoming upon our arrival All staff is very customer oriented and helpful Rooms were clean, and a bit old and we did not have warm water during the day. Very stylish hotel

Spazi nella reception insufficienti, l’hotel ha bisogno di essere aggiornato, soprattutto nelle camere
