Leon Hôtel

Very good food, amazing buffet. They spare nothing to make it happen. Rooms not exactly that great. Noisy and chaotic neighbourhood.

This hotel is situated in a busy shopping area in Gombe. At first glance, the room looks amazing for the $150 price tag. But when you look closer that’s where you see they don’t have the finishings of a finer hotel. But the room is big, the air conditioning works very well, the wifi is ok. The biggest issue we had is staff knocking on our door every 30 - 60 minutes for some weird reason or other. For example, oh the room Is occupied; please sign this room service receipt (we did not have room service); is everything ok? My husband went to the front desk and told them to stop! We did not get a chance to try the breakfast as we had an early pickup (4:30am) for the airport. The snack/fast food restaurant on the ground floor is very convenient.

I visited Kinshasa and DRC in the context of a professional trip last June, and I stayed at Leon Hotel for an entire week. In three words, everything was excellent. I must confess that this sentence summarises my experience best. I would like first to point out my room was very spacious, included large cupboards to store the clothes, the bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom was clean. All in all, I slept very well, I could work (in the office space of the room), read and also relax (in the living room space of the room and the nice available coach). Moreover, the little attention made every day by the staff was always appreciated. A fruit or a juice was gently waiting for me every evening when I was coming back from work. That small thing makes the little plus that as a customer I remember. The staff were very friendly and helpful, including the reception and particularly the chef at the restaurant of the hotel. At every visit, I was telling him the kind of food I wanted to eat, and he always came back with lovely options and delicious proposals. The breakfast buffet was also perfect and generous. I therefore recommend this hotel to anyone who looks for a comfortable and well located place to stay in Kinshasa.

This hotel was booked for me and during my trip to DRC I stayed 3 times. Each time I was put in a better room. On my last night I was given a suite as it was available - a lovely gesture by the hotel after a very difficult deployment. The staff are friendly and welcoming and speak good English. The breakfast gets 5 stars!

I mailed the hotel before I head to Kinshasa , received a confirmation for the rooms reservation , when arrived on 21st March , I was told my rooms were taken (for a reason), I was offered another choice in another hotel which I didn't like , offered another that was even worse I left the hotel with promises that I'll be called the next day to fix this , I was never called I'm really shocked with this unprofessional attitude , No follow Up , No guest experience - taking in consideration that I had to look for another hotel and stay there after an exhausting day
