Guest Reviews

• Nerija (6/5): Be weary of being conned by hotel staff - Other than a traumatic pick up experience with the hotels driver which i was charged via email confirmation, the hotel was okay. I wont go into details on what happened as the hotel apolagised for my experience. On the last day i paid for a night stay on Sunday 14th September 2025 to which the colleague of a worker called Bellamy told me i would have to pay a certain amount. I informed him i had paid for the previous days booked a different price. He informed me he would give me the change later on but he didn't. I chased this up with staff as the guy didnt turn up to work but was told that he hadnt left anything. Also, i asked the restaurant staff if they do food service and one of the staff told me those. Fortunately, the other staff brought my food to me for free. The hotel is clean however, the constant need to con my money from some of staff put me off continuing my stay. A main concern was the lack of english speaking staff which really shocked and frustrated me as staff would continuously laugh at me. Papy, Bellamy and Chris were the only staff who really made the effort to make me feel comfortable.
• Ormeline (6/5): - Es ist gut leider nur zu wieviele Mücken
• Ormeline (8/5): - Das Hotel liegt mitten in der Stadt was sehr gut ist . Ich würde es auf einer Skala von 1 bis 10 mit einer 7 bewerten. Die Umgebung ist sehr gut, allerdings ist es morgens recht laut, da die Straße stark befahren ist. Abgesehen davon war alles in Ordnung.
• Carine (10/5): - Beside the noise because it’s located on a busy street, everything else was perfect. We had a great time.
• Carine (10/5): - The stuff were very nice, unfortunately I got sick during the trip and one of the employees Tegra made sure I had a ginger tea which helped me. This hotel is very clean inside and all employees are ver professional.
• Ormeline (8/5): - Mücken in Zimmer
• Ndolamb (10/5): - Great location, friendly staff, overall nice hotel.
• AKEMI (8/5): - Staff were supportive and friendly. Road work was going on around the hotel, so access to the hotel was not smooth.
• Fatou (6/5): - Hotel is inaccessible due to road construction being done in front of the hotel. Canalisation leak, with smelly water floading the road. Also a large high rise building in construction behind the hotel, as result hotel is surrounded by noise night all day. Would not recommend staying there for the next months. Staff is friendly
• Sandra (10/5): - I m so happy to there
• Willy (8/5): - Globalement bien
• Salumu (6/5): - Poor communication
• Tanya (6/5): More to be done to reflect what you are paying - Due to my flight being missed i booked this hotel and upon arriving in the hotel , the receptionist did not explain much i had to prompts him !! upon arriving in my room they were cockroaches on the wall living their best life . Housekeeping was excellent however breakfast selection was not vast , very limited and there was a call called Joel K and he worked in the restaurant He was the worst it’s like he was forced to work , never greeted customer instead give me a look like i was dirt . However the older server who use to make me Hot chocolate was amazing . This is hotel isn’t 5 or 4 * however i would say a good 3* and the location is also central ish . It’s expensive for what you get but then remember you are in Congo !
• Marieke (2/5): - We arrived and there were no rooms. Reception said they had sent a cancellation via Expedia, but we never received it (and me getting asked to review the stay shows it was not sent). They offered little to no help to find another hotel (and it was 11pm!). Gladly the receptionist of the hotel next door helped us by phoning other hotels in the area.
• Medi Victoire (6/5): - Selton is a very clean hotel, super cleaning services and rooms. However, the welcome staff provide confusions information, you pay double room but items in the room not aligned accordingly, you ask for a service one staff refuses another serves you kindly! This is crazy. The hotel would be even better if they thought of gym and pool.
• Tadashi (10/5): - I enjoyed this hotel, thank you so much.
• Francois (4/5): - I booked a rom for USD 114 but at the end I was charged USD 150 !!
• Salumu (6/5): - Good hotel but dirty neighbourhood.
• Kalle (10/5): - Pleasant
• TSUKASA (4/5): 初キンシャサ3日間滞在 - 洗面台蛇口から出て来た水が茶色く濁っている事が度々有りました。また蚊が沢山室内に入って来て夜は寝られない日が有りました。ホテル自体や部屋は清潔で無料朝食もおいしかったです。部屋付き冷蔵庫の設定温度が高く飲み物が良く冷えない。9時過ぎに部屋掃除の問い合わせノック必ず有ります
• Michael (10/5): Great Stay - Apr 3 - Apr 10 2023. - Great experience, wonderful people. Breakfast was amazing every morning for the duration of our stay. No concern with late check-in. We had no issues checking-in after 10:00pm. Only thing was the size of the room was small. We booked for 2 persons, but the room was for 1 person. We were provided with 1 pair of slippers, 1 towel. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our stay, security guards were also kind and very professional.
• Philippe (4/5): - Il n'avais pas d'eau chaude dans la salka de bain
• Alexandre (2/5): - This hotel doesn’t accept Mastercards. Especially if they are US MASTERCARDS. They made me feel terrible because my card couldn’t be processed and held off my passport until I was able to sort this out with another card the following day. I’ve tried to meet the manager with no success. I will never go back to this place and I won’t recommend it to anyone.
• Elisha (4/5): - The cleaning staff are great, the kitchen/breakfast staff, and the men at the front desk. There is one lady who apparently is the top dog who is a rude. There is nothing worse than when the top management act better than the guests. The beds/mattresses have not been changed since they opened. The bedding etc all the exact same as 2018. The price keeps going up but wear and tear and quality of actual rooms is degrading. I literally slept in the cave in the mattress made by the 1000s of bodies that slept there before. For $150/night this is inexcusable.
• Francesco (10/5): - Personel très compétent, les infrastructures sont moderne et l’hôtel est très bien placé au centre ville de Kinshasa
• Paul (10/5): Bon hôtel pour les séjours de travail. - L’Hôtel Selton est convenable et comfortable. Les chambres sont petite mais très bien organisées et équipées. L’ambiance est de calme. Le staff sont serviable et sympa.
• Guy (10/5): - Friendly staff, clean rooms, fabulous restaurant for breakfasts and lunches.
• Sylga (10/5): - Thanks
• Joseph (10/5): Very good stay - My stay was amazing, the hotel was very nice and clean, air conditioning very good. Tha staff are very friendly and always helpful, good sized breakfast every morning
• William (2/5): - When I make booking for 4 nights so I come round 11 o’clock for flights so et says to me is not the place for me because the hotel is fool booking.
• Josef (10/5): One of the better Hotels in Kinshasa Good value - Value/Price for Kinshasa was good. Room very good. Comfortable bed and excellent service. Breakfast decent. Felt very safe here. Would recommend. Would stay again.
• Bobette (10/5): - I am gladly recommending this hotel, the room Is very clean and the bed is so comfortable.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Je recommande vivement cet hôtel à toute personne qui aimerait séjourner à Kinshasa car qualité/prix service sont au top.
• Jean-Louis (8/5): Satisfaisant. - Un service attentionné.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Very clean, bed comfortable, room well-equipped (kettle, free water, fridge). AC works well, has a "quiet" setting which really is. Room service good, menu a bit limited but food fresh and tasty. Not cheap! Breakfast assortment good, omelettes really good! Staff are very friendly, quick to respond. Would suggest they add some "light bites" to menu, including service in lounge bar. Enjoyed the stay very much.
• Anthony (6/5): Bel hôtel, rue bruyante et restauration moyene - L'hôtel a ouvert vers 2016 - 2017. Il est très propre. Les chambres sont spacieuses et décorées avec soin. La literie est confortable. Les rues sont très bruyantes dans la journée mais très calmes la nuit. Ils n'y a pas de doubles vitrages aux fenêtres et dès le levé du jour vers 5h, c'est le réveil assuré à coup de klaxonne. C'est très désagréable. La restauration est très moyenne. Le petit déjeuner est basique et le buffet du soir à 30 $ est médiocre. Il n'y a pas de navette gratuite vers ou depuis l'aéroport. Pour 50$ Vous pouvez réserver un taxi avec l'hôtel.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The internet was very slow but all the rest was awsome
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Nice clean rooms and very good service! I will return.

• Verified traveler (10/5): Great place in Kinshasa! - Hotel Selton is new and clean and friendly! The staff was very helpful and let us use the restaurant tables in off-hours to have meetings with individuals who didn't have offices. We will definitely stay here in the future.
• Kimberly (10/5): Great stay - We were pleasantly surprised by this hotel. We stayed 7 nights. The location is close to the main road. The bed was soft, excellent water pressure in the shower. Great breakfast every morning with pleasant staff. They provided free bottled water in our room each day. The only downside was the wifi, it was there but very slow.
• Ramohudi Simon (8/5): Pleasant stay - Great facilities, can do better on the food. Menu variety limited
• Verified traveler (10/5): It was nice stay at Hotel Selton - It was nice stay at this hotel, I've visited 3 times to Kinshasa and stayed different hotel each time, but this hotel is much better than previous. Because of circumstances of Kinshasa, it is very difficult to find the nice and clean business hotel within the budget, but fortunately, I could find this hotel through hotels.com. Room is tiny but very clean and new with balcony, and bed is very comfortable, amenity is good as well. Only we had problem of payment, credit card machine is not working when I checked out. It was caused by network problem (I think it may be common happening in Kinshasa), so eventually I went to ATM to withdraw the cash then paid. So I have learnt that it is better to pay 1 day before check out by credit card then can pay other things (e.g. restaurant bills for last day of stay) by cash if the credit card is not working when check out. Or it is better to pay Hotels.com when book the hotel rather than choose pay at hotel option. Except of credit card problem, everything was nice and I would stay this hotel next trip to Kinshasa.
• Amanda (10/5): Great Business Hotel - Very friendly staff, new and well maintained hotel and well priced. Definitely would stay there again if in Kinshasa.
• Dacquin (8/5): Nice; clean hotel right in the city center - Very kind and friendly staff and professional as well. It looks like the days of boring and dirty hotels in Kinshasa are over. I am looking forward to my next stay.
