This historic hotel is renowned as the place where Paul Rusesabagina courageously sheltered and saved over 1,500 individuals during the 1994 Rwandan genocide, a story vividly portrayed in the film "Hotel Rwanda." While there is a plaque honoring the hotel staff who tragically lost their lives during this dark period, it would have been meaningful to see a tribute specifically recognizing Rusesabagina's heroism. The hotel itself, though somewhat dated, offers a charming ambiance and is impeccably clean. The staff are exceptionally friendly and accommodating. Dining at the main floor restaurant is a treat, with a menu featuring delicious local cuisine. The included breakfast is decent, highlighted by a nice omelette bar, though nothing particularly extraordinary. We stayed in a spacious and comfortable junior suite, though the shag carpet certainly felt like a blast from the past. The pool area is inviting, and the Friday night cultural show is a must-see experience. Overall, we found the hotel to offer great value for the price.
