The 5Swiss Hotel is quiet, relatively small and very charming little spot, located in easy walking distance of the old city centre, and literally 5 minutes from the famous Milles Collines. The rooms are small but very clean and comfortable, with a good shower (lots of hot water). Food is tasty and relatively inexpensive, and the staff are young, energetic and friendly. A quaint little bar in the patio/ garden area is a great spot for quiet drink after a busy day, and prices are reasonable - particularly for the beer (try the Muezig, a local German knock-off). One word of caution - Kigali has become a sprawling city that is actually a conglomerate of about 7 or 8 hills, each with its own more or less self-contained neighbourhood, complete with attractions, restaurants, bars and coffee shops. While it is one of the few African cities where you can pretty much walk anywhere, walking from one hill neighbourhood to the next is not advisable. What looks like a short distance on the map can, due to winding roads, end up being a 30 minute walk. Taxis can be reasonable, though haggling can also be tiresome, and every driver will try to oversell and get you to essentially hire him for a few hours and multiple stops - negotiating on the street is a drag, unless you like that type of thing. Best to get a few trusted drivers from the hotel, and negotiate with them, rather than on the street. Beware also the magazine/ newspaper vendors around 5Swiss - a bit pushy but just smile!
