Tidskrævende

Der var bogstavelig talt for langt fra a til b. Sengen var ikke optimal. Restauranten blev kun brugt til morgenmad, som ikke var inkluderet. Loungen havde en god menu af mindre, men gode retter, men den blev suspenderet, når der var buffet. Så kunne jeg gå ind på det, de kaldte den “italienske” restaurant. Men det var ikke en italiensk restaurant, da de nogen italienske restauranter kommer gammelost i pizza. Jeg bestiller ikke så tit pizza, men bestilte en, fordi der ifølge menuen skulle være artiskokker i. Men de var udeladt. De holder ikke, hvad de lover. De lovede mig den udtjekning, hvilket de også kke holdt, de lovede mig tur til Genocide memorial, hvilket de ikke holdt. Deres tur til markedet er bondefangeri. Du slipper ikke ud, før du har købt en kjole.

Disappointed with Radisson in Kigali

My initial contact with Radisson was for the room rate. I attended a convention and the sponsors negotiated a rate significantly below the advertised rate with directions to email the Radisson for reservations. I emailed Radisson, but did not receive a reply to my reservation request or the reduced rate, although I did receive a welcome email. The Radisson website advertised it offered the lowest rate available, but I booked with hotels.com for a lower rate (but higher than the negotiated rate). During my stay, I videoed a cockroach crawling on the headboard above my pillows that left a stain on the bed. I showed the video to the staff. They apologized, changed the sheets, and gave me a fruit basket. For the most part, the staff was quite professional, except for the discourteous pool staff. Overall, I give this Radisson in Kigali a three star review as my experience with service, cost, and cleanliness did not rise to my expectations for the Radisson brand.

Good afternoon! This was my husband and I first time visiting Rwanda. The security and front desk staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The facility was clean and convenient. Aime was the best person on the staff. He made sure my husband and I were well cared for. When he saw us, he didn’t want us to carry anything. We also loved his commitment and love for his country! Now the negative! My husband and I got married in Rwanda on April 27th, we decided to have a spa day the day before. The service wasn’t that great. The part that upset me was while paying the staff gossip about us while standing there. They believed because they were speaking in their native tongue we didn’t understand. I make it a point to learn some things before traveling and to download a good translation app. I thought it was extremely unprofessional. Although, I would visit the hotel again, I would not utilize the spa. The second negative is room service and the restaurant in the convention center is EXTREMELY slow. On average it took over 1.5 hours or more to receive our order. The last time I went to the restaurant, I almost walked out because I sat there for about 20 minutes before someone brought our menus and took the order. The worst part there were less 10 people in the restaurant, so I can’t understand the long wait. I would not recommend the shopping centers behind the hotel because they will over price you. Only use the shopping center to use ATM.
