Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Hotel Des Mille Collines from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Hotel Des Mille Collines is often described as a comfortable "home away from home," where guests particularly enjoy the spacious rooms and many appreciate the balconies overlooking manicured gardens. The breakfast buffet stands out as plentiful and delicious and some found the rooms aren't modern with dated furniture. Situated near shops and the "Kigali" sign, its location is ideal for exploring. The pool area is a highlight, creating a relaxing atmosphere, and many guests indulge in the hot stone massages and pedicures at the spa.
