"Excellent stay at Serena Hotel"
1 night Arrived 5 Aug 2019
"Fantastic hotel! We were not expecting much for our two night stay at Kigali Serena Hotel, and what we received far exceeded the luxury hotels in the US!
The service was amazing, the food was great, and the rooms were wonderful! The amenities and luxury for the price was fantastic! If we are ever in Rwanda again, we would not stay anywhere else but Kigali Serena!" See all these reviews: 4n in Rwanda; 4n in Kenya

"Kigali Serena Hotel review"
1 night Arrived 11 Mar 2018
"Arrived late and left early. Packed a very nice breakfast to take to the airport with us
They did not have hot water in our wing of the hotel. They acted surprised when we told them about it but clearly other people have reported it. I had mentioned on check-in that I would like to have a hot shower.
I think with this knowledge they could have put us in a different part of the hotel." See all these reviews: 8n in Rwanda; 4n in Tanzania
