Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
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.
