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.

The restaurant Milima was superb, exceptional variety and abundance. Hotel staff were friendly and professional. Room while spacious showed signs of age and lack of attention to detail. Cracked lampshade, 2 lamps not working, telephone disconnected, no coffee maker until Day 3. All things were rectified once notified. Not what I expected from 5 star hotel.

The staff are friendly and willing to help. The room was nice, but very dated. The shower has spots of mould on the walls, there is a ton of caulking to help it from leaking, but it still leaks, and the shower head was broken. That would be fine… except it was clear the room that not been completely cleaned. There was leftover food in the mini fridge, plastic Tupperware in the drawers, and dirty cotton swabs on the floor.

A bit out-of-date
The service was good, breakfast great and the rooms were very large, but definitely out-of-date.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..

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!

It was a nice hotel but beware they charge $35 USD for an airport shuttle which I thought was free. I called from the airport and they said they would send someone in 20 mins. One hour later I called back and they said oops, someone is coming in 20 mins. She said I could take a cab but I said I didn't want to have to pay for it and would rather wait if it was free. The next day at checkout there was a 35USD charge. Very frustrating that it isn't listed online and that she didn't tell me that when I called. They were not helpful at the front desk with fixing this concern or getting a manager despite my request. I also paid the driver 20USD because I thought it was free and he took me to the genocide museum and waited for me outside for an hour. So I paid $55 USD for that airport transfer! :( Not happy!

Good staff, pool area and breakfast. Definitely needs some upgrading as it shows it’s age. USB ports in the rooms would be great and the beds have seen better days. I could feel the springs digging into my hip. Lots of repairs needed with knobs, cabinet doors coming apart when you touched them. Could be an awesome hotel but not 5 star or worth the money as it currently stands.

The air-conditioning in many rooms is not adequate. I love this hotel and have stayed there many times over the last ten years. But have noticed that other friends who stay there are leaving due to the problem of poor A/C in the rooms.
