"Kigali Serena Hotel review"

1 night Arrived 13 Jul 2016
"Good, international standard hotel.

Have to say I felt bit under dressed as I'd filled my 15kg luggage allowance ready for gorilla trekking and safari - but nice to us the facilities of a good city hotel between more remote stops." See all these reviews: 5n in Rwanda; 5n in Kenya

"Standard rooms OK but Exec rooms better"

1 night Arrived 7 Jul 2016
"Spent another single night here on the way home from Volcanoes National Park.

We were in a standard room (as booked). Room was quite good but much smaller and more "tired" than the executive room we had been given on the outbound journey." See all these reviews: 12n in Tanzania; 5n in Rwanda

"Ideal base for Kigali"

1 night Arrived 26 Jun 2016
"The Kigali Serena may not be an exciting option, but it is dependable and very good: rooms were large, beds were comfortable and the shower was excellent.

Meanwhile, the pool area is really lovely, and I was surprised by the high quality of the food, not just at the remarkable buffet breakfast but also at dinner one evening." See all these reviews: 6n in Rwanda
