This property is located close to the airport but far away from any tourist destinations. Very expensive to get from the property to Kigali city. Many moto taxi don't know how to get there..

Shauntenette

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
If you are accustomed to Western comforts, DO NOT BOOK THIS PROPERTY! The property did not have air conditioning and the power kept going out and the power controlled the water as well. The management demanded a resort fee when it was just a basic apartment without additional amenities. I stayed in the room for 3 hours but had to leave because it was too hot and I couldn’t use the fan or take a shower. They refused to refund my $60 “resort fee” they asked me to pay in cash and I didn’t get a refund of my purchase price through Travelocity. I booked another hotel room which cost me time and another taxi fee to get to that location. The price is cheap for a reason!
