Grand Legacy Hotel

Grand Legacy Hotel

6/10 Okay
"Room was good although well worn. The staff were friendly but not great English. Breakfast was ok, but somewhat poor quality. One example: I needed ice for a sprain and it took 10 hours to get any. Overpriced for the quality."

Hôtel Des Mille Collines

10/10 Excellent
"I had an excellent stay at this historic hotel. It was spotlessly clean and nicely decorated. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The bar and restaurant were also very good. Great views over the surrounding area and within east walking distance of the city center. I would thoroughly recommend!"

What is a historic hotel like in Kigali?

A castle, stately home, palace or even a pub, lodge, old police station or skyscraper can be turned into a historic hotel provided that it's a place of special interest. Traditional architecture and period features are typically preserved in the communal spaces and guestrooms of such hotels in Kigali, giving a real sense of character.
What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
"Heritage hotel" is more common in Asia and Europe, while "historic hotel" is a term often used in the U.S. though overall the terms are quite similar. The architecture and actual building of a historic hotel tends to be what's most significant. For a heritage hotel, it's often the cultural value as well as how it shaped the community.
Do historic hotels in Kigali have modern facilities?
Hotel interiors feature the modern conveniences and safety features you expect to find, though efforts have been made to preserve the historic aspects and traditions. Private rooms with updated bathroom facilities, free WiFi and the amenities found in any hotel will also be available in a historic hotel. When you book a historic hotel in Kigali, don't worry that you'll find yourself staying at a place that's uncomfortable for guests or simply rundown.
