"excellent"

1 night Arrived 4 Mar 2018
"We only spent a few hours and had breakfast at this hotel. We arrived very late at night.

The room was really more than we needed for the few hours that we spent there." See all these reviews: 8n in Rwanda; 4n in Tanzania

"Didn't live up to expectations"

1 night Arrived 21 Jan 2018
"Main areas, reception and restaurant and gardens were all excellent, however, the room itself looked tired and in need of a refurbishment.

There also no hot water on the morning of departure which was a bit inconvenient as I wanted to wash my hair and had to boil kettles and do it over the sink." See all these reviews: 6n in Rwanda

"Hotel des Mille Collines review"

1 night Arrived 5 Oct 2017
"2 nights at hotel - at the beginning and at end of stay in Rwanda.

1st night our room was at the back of the hotel (seems all odd numbered rooms face the same view) and was subject to noise at about 04.30 which, on commenting later to our guide, reckons was due to activity associated with a shopping mall which had recently been built. Best to avoid odd numbered rooms if possible!

Our guide had mentioned this to hotel management and he said they would ensure we were in a front facing (even numbered) room when we next stayed. In fact they put us in a mini suite which was a pleasant surprise and just a shame we could not take full advantage." See all these reviews: 6n in Rwanda; 6n in Kenya

"Luxurious stay at Hotel des Mille Collines"

1 night Arrived 6 Dec 2016
"We only stayed at this hotel one night on our way to Tanzania but were very impressed with it. It was very much like any international hotel; very chic.

We were very tired and decided to have a massage. It was one of the best massages I've had." See all these reviews: 9n in Tanzania; 4n in Rwanda

"Clean. Modern. Lovely."

1 night Arrived 18 Aug 2016
"The hotel is clean, modern and generally lovely, and has quite a bit of character. The lobby and common areas, including the pool and restaurant, are very nice and modern. The room we stayed in was perfectly adequate but not extraordinary. The hotel has an historical charm that adds to its character." See all these reviews: 8n in Zambia; 6n in Rwanda
