I’ve been to Hotel Gorillas a couple of times for leisure because I really enjoy visiting Rwanda; it is a wonderful country in Africa. 10 things I liked about this beautiful hotel is 1) From the airport they are extremely kind and welcoming reception. 2) Comfortable, sanitary, well-organized, simple rooms with nice bedspreads and curtains. 3) Nice choice of decorations... more

We went through the Gorillas Hotel to organise our family trip to Rwanda - and what a great job they did. I contacted the group Project Manager (Mr Ashraf) who, given what we would like to do for our 17 days, put together a great itinerary that included.. all transport (from airport pick up to airport drop off), all hotel... more

Feels as if the whole place could do with a refurb. Rooms a bit dark and dingy and not the cleanest. Well located though and the restaurent is very good. more

As far as value for money, this was my favourite place to stay in Kigali (I stayed at 3 hotels). The hotel is a bit far from the middle of the city. The distance itself would be no problem but it is straight up hill so you might like a taxi. But if you take a taxi it is only... more

I stayed here one night en route to gorilla trecking and a visit to GoMa in DRC. I asked the local travel agent who was arranging my trip to book me into this hotel based on Trip Advisor reports but was somewhat disappointed. Firstly, the price for a single is $110 which is pretty pricey for the tiny room I... more

I stayed 10 nights in March 2008 and found the hotel to be better than many others. I stayed at the Presbyterian Guest House, which I would not recommend to anyone I liked and at the Hotel Des Mille Collines before. The Gorillas is not as fancy as the Hotel Des Mille Collines, but is certainly worth the price. The... more

A small, pleasant hotel on a hill overlooking the city about 15 mins walk from the Serena, the Gorillas has a beautiful internal garden courtyard and another garden in the back of the restaurant. I stayed here six nights on a business trip and found it clean and comfortable, tending towards the basic, with helpful staff. Quiet at night, no... more

I'm just back from three night business in Kigali and I can recommend the Gorillas. It clean, friendly and very central. The price is right and is as good as any at that price in Kigali. The food is fine and the tomato soup is worth trying. The hotel does not have many facilities but on a short business trip... more

I spent 5 days at the Hotel Gorillas on a business trip and was very happy with my stay. The room was large and comfortable, and while the decor was somewhat dated it wasn't too bad. The bathroom was large and everything worked well and there was a working television with channel in English and French. The restaurant in the... more
