“Gorillas City Centre's location puts you close to Kigali's business district and local attractions, but it's clear the hotel needs a refresh to truly compete with nearby options. The convenience of an airport shuttle and on-site dining are definite pluses for busy travellers. Still, for the price, you might find better value elsewhere.”
