Gracey Concierge – Large Luxury Apartment with a pool & river view Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Gracey Concierge – Large Luxury Apartment with a pool & river view honestly feels more like entering someone’s upscale private residence than a typical hotel. The four-star property sits on Avenue Uvira, and you know what struck me immediately? The way they’ve managed to create this intimate, almost residential atmosphere while still maintaining all the services you’d expect from a quality hotel. There’s something refreshing about staying somewhere that doesn’t feel like every other cookie-cutter accommodation.

The Space and Views

The apartment setup is what really sets this place apart — you’re getting genuine living space rather than just a cramped hotel room. I mean, having an actual kitchen changes everything about how you can experience Kinshasa, especially if you want to grab some local ingredients from nearby markets and actually cook something. But honestly, it’s the river views that’ll have you lingering by the windows with your morning coffee. The Congo River stretches out in front of you, and depending on the time of day, the light hitting the water is just… well, it’s pretty spectacular.

Location and Getting Around

Avenue Uvira turned out to be one of those addresses that locals actually recognize — always a good sign when you’re trying to explain to taxi drivers where you’re staying. The location feedback makes total sense once you’re here; couples rate it so highly because you’re close enough to the city center to explore easily, but far enough away that you’re not dealing with constant traffic noise. There’s free parking on site too, which honestly surprised me given how central everything is.

The Pool and Amenities

The pool area became my go-to spot during the afternoon heat — it’s not massive, but it’s perfectly sized and positioned to take advantage of those river views. What I appreciated was how they’ve designed the space so you can actually relax without feeling like you’re on display. The whole setup feels thoughtfully planned rather than just thrown together, and the staff manages to be helpful without being intrusive.

Why Guests Love It

After spending time here, I get why recent guests rated the location so highly (9.4 apparently, and I can see why). It’s that sweet spot where you feel connected to the city but not overwhelmed by it. The apartment-style accommodation means you can spread out, cook if you want to, and generally live rather than just sleep somewhere. For couples especially — and the 9.6 rating from pairs makes sense — there’s something romantic about having your own space with those river views, plus a pool to cool off in when Kinshasa’s heat gets intense.

Kinshasa hotels keep visitors close to Académie des Beaux-Arts studios, lively band rehearsals, and handmade market finds.
