“This hotel offers a solid base in Kigali, with clean, if simple, rooms and a generous breakfast spread. Staff are genuinely helpful, even arranging airport transfers, though the immediate alley location might be a bit lively at night. The biryani alone is worth a return visit, not to mention the reliable WiFi.”
