Hotel des Mille Collines review
A bit worn down and the service in the pool bar is really slow. However the service in the reception is good and they do serve nice big breakfeats

Clean, comfortable. The hotel had key card problems. However, we could leave our room and they brought us our key card.
Beautiful dining room on the top of the hotel. Good food. The only drawback was that our room was just above the outdoor restaurant. There was very loud music (albeit, good American music) until 9:00. Thank goodness it ended early since we had to be up by 4.
same as previous

Average to nice hotel with friendly people and the most beautiful grounds.
Hard to believe there was so much tragedy in that area. That horror is behind them but they do not forget.

Read more about the whole tripGood for an overnight in Kigali.
The Mille Collines was good for an overnight in Kigali (well located) - we used it at the beginning and end of our trip.
Having said that it is a little tired and the rooftop restuarant food didn't really justify the price (we ate better food at various, more modest, locations throughout Rwanda). The restaurant is now to be refurbished (Jan 13).
There is not a hint that this was "Hotel Rwanda". Has a good sized pool and internet access.
Nice hotel, restaurant service a bit ropey.
The hotel has lovely views, stylish public areas and nice rooms, all you could wish for an overnight stay. Unfortunately for us we stayed on a Thursday night which is party night by the pool which on anotheer type of trip would have been fun, but having just left the tranquility of the volcanoes, it did grate a little on the senses.
We retreated to the 4th floor restaurant which has beautiful open air views over Kigali. The food here is OK, but they couldn't cope with a vegetarian - although a strange mix of a plate of spaghetti, potatoes and veg turned up eventually. The service was incredibly slow and we waited an hour for our food, which was OK as we had nowhere to be, but for the country the prices are quite high in the restaurant so I was expecting better service.
Breakfast the next morning in the same restaurant was a well organised and extensive buffet. For the breakfast and view alone I'd recommend this hotel and if its not party night I'd suggest eating dinner at thee pool bar.
Milles Collines review
Good hotel with lovely ambiance and good staff however the hotel was let down by its very average rooms and food

rather disappointing for a major Hotel
reception and staff not at all personable
rooms small and missing some basics eg hair dryer
but pool area and bar very pleasant and welcome
early breakfast ordered but delivered very late, as we were leaving
no apology - staff somewhat disinterested
Expert Africa comments
We were concerned to read this feedback - we've passed it on to the managers, and are monitoring the situation at this lodge - which has previously been very reliable.
