Power outages and wifi unreliable in the night. ##### Bethany Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jill Jul 10, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Deep relaxation, Uber Service! My curiosity was piqued when I read stellar reviews of EPIC Hotel and Suites on a FB Group called “Expats in Kigali”. Knowing that I was returning to Rwanda for a Rwandese wedding and would have a few additional days to head to the northeastern corner of the country, I booked a room for myself and my friend, and off we went. Much to our mutual surprise, we entered a truly delightful respite- with perhaps the best bed I have ever slept on, exceptional management (with a special shout out to Mr. Sandeep Moorjani, the Food and Beverage Manager, who was EXCEPTIONALLY helpful, attentive, friendly without being intrusive, and solicitous. All he wanted was an ultra-satisfied customer and talk about aiming to please!!! If he wasn’t trained in a Swiss hotel management school, it must have been somewhere just as outstanding.) My friend and I had spent the preceding night within Akagera National Park (no other lodging names to be specified within this review, though p.m. me if you want a FABULOUS recommendation!!) I cannot begin to describe how AMAZING it was to have a/c and unforgettable water pressure for the shower at EPIC. We felt dusty and dirty and it was super relaxing to get all cleaned up there. My room was quite spacious, and came with two bottles of complimentary water and fabulously plush cotton towels. Apparently, there was a directory with numbers to reach reception, etc., but I didn’t use it. No space left here to expand except... GO!! GO!! ##### Jill Stayed 1 night in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David Apr 15, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Epic Hotel Nyagatare Great hotel and great staff. The staff is very attentive to your needs. Food was great. Sandeep goes above and beyond. ##### David Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maria Luisa Dec 7, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Maria Luisa Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Salim Aug 11, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Overall our stay was exceptional ##### Salim Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels near West Edmonton Mall](https://www.expedia.ca/West-Edmonton-Mall-Hotels.0-l501027-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Kelowna](https://www.expedia.ca/Kelowna-Hotels.d3997.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Holland](https://www.expedia.ca/Holland-Hotels.d6059199.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Nootka Island Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Nootka-Hotels-Nootka-Island-Lodge.h13472530.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-Sheraton-New-York-Times-Square-Hotel.h87.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Fair Lawn Paramus](https://www.expedia.ca/Fair-Lawn-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Fair-Lawn-Paramus.h460426.Hotel-Information) > > [B&B Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Bed-And-Breakfast.d178315-aaBedAndBreakfast.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Cottages Huntsville](https://www.expedia.ca/Huntsville-Cottages.d6057908-aaCottages.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [H Hotel Los Angeles, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-H-Hotel-Los-Angeles.h18952850.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Rionegro (MDE) to Cali (CLO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/mde/clo/medellin-to-cali) > > [Flights from Santa Cruz (FNC) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/fnc/yyz/funchal-to-toronto) > > [Flights from YTO-All Airports to Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yto/edi/toronto-to-edinburgh) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Sofia (SOF)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/sof/toronto-to-sofia) > > [Flights from Fort Lauderdale (FLL) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/fll/yvr/fort-lauderdale-to-vancouver) > > [Cathay Pacific](https://www.expedia.ca/Cathay-Pacific-Flights.cCX.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Los Angeles (LAX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/lax/toronto-to-los-angeles) > > [Flights from Trois-Rivieres (YRQ) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yrq/yyz/trois-rivieres-to-toronto) > > [Flights from St. John's (YYT) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyt/yyz/st-johns-to-toronto) > > [Flair Airlines](https://www.expedia.ca/Flair-Airlines-Flights.cF8.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Galveston (GLS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/gls/vancouver-to-galveston) > > [Flights from Las Vegas (LAS) to Tucson (TUS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/las/tus/las-vegas-to-tucson) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Atlantic City (ACY)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/acy/edmonton-to-atlantic-city) > > [Flights from Regina (YQR) to Edinburgh (EDI)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqr/edi/regina-to-edinburgh) ### Activities > [Things to do in Salamanca](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Salamanca.d3205.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Punta Cana](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/601906/Punta-Cana) > > [Jeju Island Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Jeju-Island.d6049718.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Bletchley Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Bletchley-Park-Bletchley.d6171296.Vacation-Attraction) ### General > [Visit Buenos Aires](https://www.expedia.ca/Buenos-Aires.dx178242) > > [Visit Ferel](https://www.expedia.ca/Ferel.dx3000038586)
