Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This very basic hotel is a good budget option for Kinshasa. We paid $50 per night for single rooms (double beds) which included breakfast (omelet, bread, coffee). No problems with security and it is centrally located. No hot water, AC did not work well in all rooms, slow wireless with variable connectivity in different parts of the hotel. No bug problems (dry season). The reception people have very limited English. Cash (USD or Congo Francs) only for room payments. Restaurant was very slow for dinner (order 40 min before you want to eat). Restaurant at Hotel Belle Vie next door was better, with a wider variety including Indian options.

I stayed here for two weeks in November 2011 - overall, the service was good at the hotel, but I had a number of things stolen from my suitcases. The restaurant was ok, though the service was terrible - it was as if I was being a pain to the waitresses by ordering food! There was good wifi, but there were regular power cuts. This hotel used to be security-cleared by the UN, but has been removed off the list due to some security issues, including the regular thefts and one case of a guest being mugged right outside the door while the security guard just looked on.

Our organisation stayed for the second time at the Fontana hotel (currently called 'Ave Maria' after a change of ownership). This time, a big amount of money was stolen from our room without any traces of burglary on the locks. The police inspector of Gombe area came to do a research and it wasn't the first time there was a theft. It seems there are still keys of certain rooms in the hands of people who shouldn't. The police accused the owner of not being cautious enough since the last case. Although theft can take place in many hotels in Africa and I probably should have been more careful, the way that the manager treated the issue was highly unfriendly, unprofessional and offensive. Therefore, my advice would be to not choose this hotel during a stay in Kinshasa. Kind regards, Gaston

Built like older hotels in Paris but with larger rooms. Decor is similar to older motels in southern Florida. Inside restaurant is good for breakfast/dinner, restaurant in the back is good for dinner. Both have reasonable prices. Water in pool is a shade of green so would not swim in it. Much more secure than most people think. Some international workers stay here, as well as some visiting military and officials. Some rooms (but not all) have musty smell often found in humid climates, so bring an air freshener with you. Good supermarket within walking distance.

A hotel that survives by lack of competition. Very simple and basic set up. Try your luck with the elevator. Indian management without training/manners. Did at one stage not honor reservation, but leased out to the next available guest. Rooms are clean, food good and cheap. Pool seems to be clean too.

Godd 3 stars in Kinshasa. Rooms can be more comfortable but the restaurant is not dissapointing. If you cannot afford Memling or Pyramide, that is your choice.
