In February 2023, my husband and I had our first visit to Rwanda and stayed at 5 Swiss Hotel, the second accommodation during our time in Kigali. The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring all our needs were met. The room was immaculate, and the downstairs bar/breakfast area boasted a beautiful aesthetic. The outdoor area felt pleasantly earthy. The included breakfast was enjoyable. Without a doubt, I would choose 5 Swiss Hotel again for my future stays in Kigali, Rwanda.

Nice Kigali Hotel

Came here first time ten years ago and have returned many times. All facilities are there, the restaurant gets better and better and service staff are very caring. This is a small place with a very good atmosphere. It is excellent for networking whatever business you are in Rwanda for. A central location adds to the benefits of your stay.

Will be back....again and again

If you are looking for a small, quiet hotel that mixes a more local feel with all the basic comforts you need when away from your own bed, go for this. 5 Swiss has truly the kindest staff I’ve ever met, and I enjoyed (and deeply benefitted from) the long chats with the local staff over breakfasts and dinners. The little restaurant is great - accommodating and delicious. (Breakfasts were not my favorite, but custom-ordering omelettes is the way to go.) The bed was so comfortable, and I was lucky to get a room with a balcony over the garden - what a nice way to wake up, with the sun coming over the hills. There is a small fitness room inside a garden - literally. So cute and fun. This is not a “luxury” hotel, but there was really nothing I needed that I didn’t have. The rooms are clean, simple, and comfy - I arrived at 3am after a 24-hour travel and was immediately ushered in, safe and sound. After a week, I didn’t want to leave, truly, and I hope to be back soon. Yannick, Nadine, Belize, Alex the driver, everyone else - you’re all amazing. Thank you for such a wonderful stay.

Favorite spot in Kigali 

Excellent hotel, very clean, well located, great staff, great breakfast and food in general... the only But...would be to improve the lights in the room for reading and have more hangers or hooks to put clothes in the room and in the bathroom.

Ask for a room with a view on the garden as they also have rooms that look on the parking which are quite dark, especially because you have to close the curtains in order not to be seen. Otherwise it was a great place to stay in Kigali that I would surely recommend.

Excellent...But...

This is a very clean and confortable boutique hotel with the best price quality in town.

Beds are comfortable, everything clean. The restaurant is great, reasonably priced and very tasty. All of the staff accommodated every request we made. 

And I have to say, that if it wasn´t because of its owner, I wouldn´t have been able to get to know two amazing national parks. 

Only because of how helpful staff and owner were (they all got out of their way to try to help us constantly), I would give them an extra star in its hotel category.

We recommends this place hands down.

Best price quality in town. Very helpful staff, including its owner

I stayed here for 3 days for the quarantine requirement and really could not have been happier with the experience. I had been a bit overwhelmed by all the government approved hotel options, but based on my research (and the review of another person who quarantined here) I decided this would be the best place to stay in terms of quality and price.

The hotel arranged to have a driver meet me at the airport so after arriving a bit exhausted from Uganda, the whole transfer process was very smooth. They put me in a spacious room with a delightful balcony with a decent view. Room service was always a phone call away and the meals were always delicious (the steak w/ pepper sauce was a personal favorite). I never had to wait more than 20-30 minutes for food to arrive. The staff was all delightful and friendly even when there was occasionally a language barrier. The room was cleaned daily and there was always plenty of hot water for the shower. Considering the overall quality of the hotel and food, I found the quarantine daily cost to be very reasonable. I should also mention that the location is excellent, literally a 2-3 minute walk to the center. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Excellent hotel for 3 day quarantine

Great place to stay, modern clean rooms with AC, modern and clean western bathroom. Great buffet breakfast. Also do set lunch deal which is good value if you don't want to go out. I put my laundry in in the morning and it was ready - clean, pressed, and all accounted for - that same day. 
On the day of checkout I had a couple of hours before I had to go to the airport, so I went to hand in my key at the required time and asked if they could look after my bags while I killed time in the bar/restaurant area. The manager, who was on reception, immediately said "Why don't you just stay in your own room until you need to leave, you will be much more comfortable." This was a kind and appreciated offer as I could use the aircon and rest. The maid was very understanding and just worked on other rooms until I left. Would love to stay again! Murakoze cyane!

Very luxurious by Rwandan standards, great breakfast, central location

I had come to pick up my client for a safari to Akagera, and i happen to find they were staying in this great hotel. 

They tild me how they loved the place and how often they have been booking their stay. 
I was impressed tok how William the director welcomed me just like a normal employee before i knew he was the owner. 

Very quiet place with lovely treat. 

I loved the entire visit and warm treat from the cheff. 

Wonderful place, i recommend it definately


Great place with great treat, quiet ambiences

This was short stay for business within town.  Hotel is close to the president's residence. What I liked: The rooms were clean and spacious.   Hot water available. The food was good. The staff friendly and very helpful.  We ended up getting a discount so that was good and appreciated.  What I didn't like was the size... small so one member of our team had to be accommodated at another hotel for one of the nights.  However, the staff ensured that he was well cared for, taken up to the other hotel and picked up in the morning.  I also think that $100 per night is a bit on the expensive side (even though we got a good discount and paid $80)  I would definitely stay here again.  I loved the place

Small but Beautiful

Right from the start Christian the receptionist is there to welcome you and answer all your questions. He took my bags to my room and was totally professional in a nice and friendly way. The room was bright, clean and had a view of Kigali. The next day the owner was kind enough to give me a tour of the city. The entire staff went out their way to accommodate me breakfast lunch and dinner , day or night. THE BEST !
