Hotels With Breakfast in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo

This is a good hotel. The rooms are well-appointed, the food in the restaurant is excellent, the breakfasts are fantastic, and the staff are very friendly. The restaurant prices are high, but not unexpectedly high. The restaurant menu is limited, so if you are here for a prolonged time, you will get bored pretty soon. But the food is excellent. I am a seasoned traveller, with 33 African countries visited so far, countless hundreds of hotels ranging from 15USD to over 500USD. I've stayed in places with absolute luxury, and places with no water, shared toilets, and no AC, so I have learned to accept and overcome a lot. I have a lot of patience and I don't complain easily. However, the Novotel in Kinshasa warrants some criticism from me. The service in the hotel is way below the standard I expect from a hotel like this. It's not that the staff are unhelpful, because they are, it's just that everything here is so imprecise and inconsistent. One day you get two bottles of water in your room, the next day one, and the next day none. You get two towels one day, and none the next. One day there's one towel, and no toilet paper. The upstairs bar staff are terrible. You can wait 20 minutes for someone to ask what you'd like to order, and then it takes 20 minutes for a simple beer to arrive. They don't pay attention to you at all, and will often walk straight past you to serve someone else. A simple snack took aver an hour an a half one evening, and the place was not even full. I like to sit outside on the patio in the restaurant. Sometimes you get serviettes, sometimes you don't. There's ALWAYS a shortage of ashtrays. Table clearing is extremely slow. Sometimes tables are left uncleared for well over an hour after the table has been vacated. The coffee machines in the breakfast area are ALWAYS malfunctioning and no one seems to care. Every morning there is a struggle to get a cup of coffee without having to call a staff member to fix the machine. The bar prices for spirits are confusing. The only price on the menu is per bottle. I tried to get a straight answer of the price of a simple vodka and coke, and ended up paying USD60 for Beluga Vodka. Who on earth mixes premium vodka with coke? If there was a price list per shot, that would make much more sense. Then I found out that the hotel doesn't give the tips to the staff. If you sign for a meal, and add a tip, the hotel keeps that and the waiter sees none of it. I'm not surprised the waiters have no motivation to give better service. After I discovered this, I started tipping in cash, and oh boy, did the service improve! Anyway, as I said it is a good hotel, but there's certainly room for improvement which could easily be achieved with a minimal effort on the part of management.

The Hotel was great and clean . Room was cleaned daily the only disappointed was the screw behind the sliding bathroom door was on the floor all week maybe clean the floor more thoroughly. Room was large a little dated but clean enough . Beds were single beds but adequate. Balcony was nice side view of the sea . Air conditioning worked but dated . Room was near the entertainment so no sleep until after 11pm . Didn't bother us but could others. Food was plentiful and varied . Staff in the restaurant were friendly and helpful. Plenty of good food could be repetitive after a week but we only stayed a week and chose to eat out twice just for a change . Tried the Bamboo restaurant had to book great food only hot to try once due to strange opening times. Local drink and food prices were great 2.50 euros for a beer . Meals start at 8.50 euros up to 12.00 euros plenty of choice . Pool area at the hotel was good pools needed a clean around the edges. Sun beds were reserved very quickly didn't bother us easily found two all sunbeds in working order. Pool bar was adequate but only place yo get a drink in the day . Only one bar open in the evening entertainment hit and miss .Bar service slow but adequate. Could of done with two bars open . Would return again but don't expect 4 or 5 star as you won't get it .

Me and 26 crew members we are living in Kinplaza since November 2023 , we are really impressed from the Hotel , rooms are extremely clean , service excellent . No even one crew member complains about anything . As you know Airlines looking for top hotels only and this is the right place to stay for couple of months . In addition they have 5 Star Resturant with food from Libanon and international as well especially Chief Abbas is an excellent Profi . I can tell you you can feel like at home in Europe . You have to ask for Abbas and then you can enjoy the prepared food .

The first time I stayed, I felt awful. Booked the business room and suite online and paid for it. It was more than 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and even said that the room had not been vacated. Waiting for an hour and a half at the front desk, only a few rooms were vacated, and the room type was still inconsistent. In this case, the front desk also said that it would have to pay $75. The plane that drove late at night, we left at 21 o'clock.

Love the service here always predicable with a smile. For me this hotel is a like a home away from home . Special mentio front office and sales @cady @elda @laura@ Diego ( room service ) Resturant @danny. I once left my laptop bag in the Resturant and realised it much later only to be pleasantly surprised that one of the folks from the Okapi Resturant picked it up and kept it aside for me so it’s also safest & secure hotel in Kinshsha . Many of the frontline staff speak very good English making it easy for visitors to engage. Overall the best choice for business travellers in Kinshsha ! More power to you guys !! 💕💕

This hotel is being refurbished, but in the meantime conditions are terrible, and service is incompetent or totally absent. Bathroom door would not close. No one even offered to clean the room during 8 day stay. Had to demand clean towel and sheets.

The hotel is small, but very exquisite, not in the core location, but the price is very high, the room rate needs half of the same grade room, the important thing is that lunch and dinner can provide authentic Chinese food, very satisfying my stomach, the hotel has a garden on the top floor, there are actually Taihu Stone and rockery, It is said that special dining such as teppanyaki will be opened, and I look forward to the next business trip to Kinshasa to taste.

Perfect. One of the best hotels in Kinshasa. Everything is there. The food is okay even if the service leaves something to be desired. The rooms are spacious and the reception staff are accommodating. Enjoy the swimming pool always perfect.

The breakfast is good, the service is good, the room is comfortable, the bathroom is also very good, it is very suitable for business trips, you can meet customers in the lobby, it is also very convenient to walk one kilometer from the market, and it is convenient to eat

Facility was good but there's no good welcome team... Kindly improve the service at the entrance.

First of all, the price is very cost-effective in the capital of Kinshasa, unless you want to stay in a local small hotel; secondly, it is not as other reviews said (maybe improved), the staff are very enthusiastic, and if you have any questions, the lobby manager downstairs will help. Help solve the problem; as for the lack of breakfast varieties, I think it’s okay. It’s not a big problem if you’re full. There are breads, fruits, and staple food. After all, it’s free; the food cooked by the chef is delicious, and the price is okay. It’s only 20 US dollars for a full meal. Well, no problem at all; the facilities in the guest room are a bit lacking, there is no mineral water, toothbrush, shower gel, shampoo, etc. You need to contact the guest room staff. . . Overall, I felt that I was very happy staying here for two days. I recommend trying their various masalas, which taste really good. . .
