Yes to Afrika boutique Hotel!
Thumbs up to the staff who were so helpful and courteous. If you're looking for an affordable, quiet and decent place to stay, i would definitely recommend staying here. The rooms have a bit of a safari feel to them; the floors can get cold, so i would suggest carrying/wearing slippers. Make sure to request one of the rooms in front of the pool, the view is lovely at night. Also if you're looking for a ride to get you around Kigali, ask for Alphonse. The washrooms are starting to age a bit, but it's manageable if you're not staying too long (also the rooms are cleaned everyday). Enjoy!

Basic, but in a good area
Stayed for 2 weeks for a business trip. Overall, pretty basic, but good location, comfortable bed, and very pretty lounge/pool area. Was surprised to find that the room didn't have very many usual amenities - no phone, no shampoo/shower gel, no A/C, no room safe, no pen or notepad. The wifi speed was good, and the continental breakfast was good. Unfortunately I had $40 go missing from my suitcase while I stayed here (I knew I was risking it a bit, but was hoping there would be a room safe), and the hotel staff didn't handle it in a satisfactory way. No apologies, nothing really, just awkward nodding and walking away. So my impression of the service, overall, is not very positive. But if nothing goes wrong, they seem perfectly nice. For 4-5 nights I could also hear bass from loud music somewhere, until about 6AM, bothered me the first couple of nights and then I got used to it. Not sure if it was coming from a nearby building, but the thudding was pretty annoying.

One night in Kigali
The airport pick up was great. Nice guy who waited for hours because the flight was late. The location is fine, but a bit isolated. The rooms are quite nice. But there is not air-conditioning and they did not have fans available. The staff was fine, but not overly friendly or helpful. Breakfast was adequate, but nothing hot. It was OK for a one night stay.

Nice hotel, friendly staff
The hotel was nice, although not amazing enough to justify the price. It might just be that all of Rwanda is pretty expensive. Clean room, good breakfast and a very nice pool for relaxing at. The staff were very friendly, but it was a bit difficult to get information out of them, for example maps or things to do in Kigali. Wifi worked sometimes, others not so much - a few times I had to ask the staff to reset the router. Good place overall.

Too expensive for what it offers
No amenities on the bathroom, just soap. It looks like one of those hotels that are really nice when they open for business, and they slowly start decaying as years pass by... Hotel personnel looks like they don't even care about you, you're practically a ghost for them. As I said...too expensive for what it offers.

A very nice, small, mid-priced hotel with a view
The hotel is conveniently located, intimate, friendly and an overall fine place to stay. The staff is kind, attentive and helpful and this is a very calm and pleasant place to stay. I spent much of my time working in my room, enjoying the high quality internet connection and looking out over a really nice view of Kigali. Only one word of caution, on weekends, the sounds of a disco go on all night. If this sort of thing bothers you and you will be there on a Friday or Saturday night, ask for a room in the back. They aren't as nice and don't have any view, but they are quieter.

Hotel? Or not?
It's clean, well-positioned and the staff do everything they can to help. From that respect you can't fault it. BUT it's not really an hotel.....if you expect an hotel to have a restaurant, bar or anything other than rooms. Which this doesn't. Just a room with a broken TV! And in comparison to 'proper' hotels very close by it's as, or more, expensive. I can't think of any reason to return other than the staff who did everything possible to maximise the experience in the absence of anything you could describe as a facility!

Comfy bed and clean sheets
Thought it was a good place, easy to walk to town. Does need maintenance and the staff need to speak better English but on the whole a lovely time there.

Lovely hotel,great feel about it.
The accommodation was lovely. It is beautifully appointed and the views of the city by and night are brilliant. We have hesitation recommending this hotel to others. Minor problems that needed to be fixed but on the whole a lovely experience.

Nice unique hotel in a phenomenal neighborhood
I was immediately and cordially welcomed by hotel staff who seemed to be available 24/7. The room (as well as the hotel) was uniquely decorated in African theme. The room was comfortable of higher quality with hot and cold water and internet service. The continental style breakfast with made to order omelette was also nice feature. The hotel's pool was situated to create a relaxing and tranquil environment whether one chose to swim in it or nice. I have stayed in a variety of hotels in East Africa and certainly would recommend this modestly priced one as well.

Good stay,
It was my first stay and also my first visit to Kigali, Rwanda. I would appreciate if there are grills on the main glass doors & window of the room as it becomes scary at night to sleep for the first timers. But the staff extended good hospitality and where quite helpful. regards, soloni

おすすめです
キガリタワーまで歩いて１５分程度と立地は良いと思います。（夜は、ホテルまでの道に街灯はあるものの暗いので、タクシーで帰るのがベター） プールは、おそらく毎日掃除しているためか、すごくきれいです。 朝食のオムレツには、地元で採れた野菜が入っていて、ピーマンが香り豊かですごくおいしかったです。 ホテルスタッフの対応も丁寧でやさしく、おすすめします。

A éviter...
Réservation quelques jours plus tôt et pas de problèmes : nuitées payées par avance... Arrivée en soirée après avoir averti... Pas de chambre : transfert à un hotel quasi-vide et sans réel confort, à quelques Km. Je ne juge pas l'endroit où j'ai logé ! En revanche, la façon d'agir d' "Inside Africa" est déplacée et peu professionelle car ils ont certainement encaissé le différentiel de coût : si hotel.com accepte ça, ce n'est pas normal !
