AI Summary
Centrally located with spacious, well-appointed rooms and a beautiful pool, spa, and gym. Guests appreciate the friendly staff and exceptional breakfast buffet. However, some may find the dining options limited.

Our room is equipped with a large outdoor balcony. Although my friend’s room does not have a balcony, it is equipped with a living room, which is much more comfortable than ordinary standard rooms. The front desk of the hotel is very enthusiastic and helped us make an appointment for a driver to go to the national park. The airport pick-up service is also very good. The breakfast buffet is very rich. For dinner, I ordered grilled pork chops. It was delicious, and the tip is included in the meal price. The fly in the ointment is that the driver asked us for 60 dollars after booking the car from the hotel to the airport on the return trip, but the front desk told us that it was only 35 dollars.

My top choice when visiting Rwanda!
The Kigali Serena is a fabulous place to stay when visiting Rwanda. They have fantastic customer service, rooms are very clean, and they have a lovely lounge/patio seating area by the pool when they often have live music. They have one of the best breakfast buffets in all of Rwanda so don’t skip breakfast!

Not a 5 star hotel
Dated, old, not even close to a 5 star hotel.

A bit out-of-date
The service was good, breakfast great and the rooms were very large, but definitely out-of-date. The shower in particular was quite bad, the water never got very hot and sometimes was barely warm. The rest of the room was also a bit dated..

Our stay at the Kigali Serena Hotel was fantastic. Both dinner and the breakfast buffet at the restaurant were excellent. The accommodations were spacious and comfortable. The team provided wonderful service and we loved the surprise rose petals in our room for our honeymoon. Having access to the pool and spa facilities was a great bonus after long overseas travel. Would highly recommend!

I’ve stayed at other Serena hotels which are excellent. This location is not a 5 starts hotel but it is charged as a 5 star hotel. The rooms are small and the service is average. This particular location should be charged and considered a 2 or 3 star hotel at the maximum.

We stayed here twice for one-night stays before and after our visit to Five Volcanoes and the gorillas. The hotel is very comfortable - the bed felt lovely, and the shower had nice water pressure and plenty of warm water. Dinner and breakfast were included in our stay (other than drinks, even soda, which was a bit of a hassle when we checked out). The food was served mostly buffet style and was very good quality - we especially enjoyed the variety of breakfast options. There wasn't anything really within walking distance; we had to drive for our tour of downtown and other sights in Kigali, but there was a convenient ATM just across the street.

For a hotel charging £200 per night, the room was dismal. From a misaligned toilet seat to broken cupboard handles, dirty kettle, bed head and carpet, this was disappointing. Although staff were charming, it took ages to get anything fixed- getting a kettle took two hours! Kigali is fast becoming a tourist destination- it’s a lovely country with very friendly people but this hotel was a let down. For our conference, we had to move to another hotel because the internet did not work.
