Great home stay in Kigali
This place is like home! I arrived there very early and they already let me check in, and offered a coffee. Everyone was super nice, helpful, I took one day city trip with Johny and learnt from him about the history and the Rwanda today. Breakfast is very tasty, I also ordered lunch and dinner, which was very delicious, and also comfortable as there are no restaurants around. The location is a bit far from the city center, but it’s easy to get there from the airport, and to the city you just take a Moto-taxi, this is very convenient. One sad thing was that I requested a laundry, and got it back after 2 days - some pieces still wet and unfortunately my clothes don’t smell fresh.

It is a great place that is near the biggest market in Rwanda. Also, it is super close to the airport. The view from my room was magnificent, and I loved how birds were singing in the morning. Coffee was so delicious, and breakfast are extremely tasty. Kigali Castle team are so friendly, positive, and always ready to help. Thanks to John Luc, I was navigating a market like a local man. Olive made the best African tea I have ever tried. Andrew's lifeskills class was very funny and helpful. I enjoyed a movie night, and chatting with other guests until midnight. Kigali Castle is your place if you like a super clean house, free breakfast and wifi, and fun time like movies, a poetry night, cooking classes, and going out to cool places.

Staying at Kigali Castle in Rwanda was one of the best hostel experiences I have ever had. The hostel itself was both incredibly beautiful and clean. They housed extremely competent staff who were welcoming, thoughtful, helpful, interesting, and engaging. Their on-site tour guide was the most useful tool in navigating Kigali as well as trips in and outside the city. He frequently helped me with public transportation, organized a free trip to the memorial and other monuments in Kigali, as well as freely escorted me and my friend on a day-long hiking trip in volcanoes national park! Their on-site chef is a trained professional and cooked some of the best local Rwandan food in all of Kigali! Additionally, the hostel is located in one of the most beautiful and convenient neighborhoods, with the largest local farmers market just a 2 minute walk from the hostel. Overall Kigali Castle had an incredibly fun and dynamic environment that made getting to know Kigali and Rwanda very easy. I highly recommend anyone traveling to Kigali to stay at Kigali Castle, and I will definitely be coming back to stay in the future.

とてもフレンドリーな若い夫婦がホスト,立地がとてもいいキミロンコの素敵なB&B,空港の滑走路が一望。
1月上旬に一泊25USDでベーシックルーム(共用バスルーム)に宿泊した。 キミロンコのバスターミナルから徒歩6~7分の住宅街にある。キガリのB&Bとしてはもっとも好立地にあるもののひとつだと思う。キミロンコの周辺には,市場,スーパーマーケット,レストラン,安食堂まで何でも揃っているので便利。高級レストランやビアバー街のあるレメラも近い。宿は大きな一軒家で,共同スペースのリビングは広々としていてくつろげる。キッチンには冷蔵庫,コンロ,電子レンジ,湯沸かしポットがある。飲用水やビールの販売,有料の洗濯サービスがある。宿からはキガリの空港の滑走路を一望でき,航空ファンでなくても楽しめる。ホストは若い夫婦で,とてもフレンドリー。ゲストと一緒に楽しむ大画面のシアタールームが自慢のようだった。 キガリは気温の高い場所ではないので,温水シャワーがないのはややつらい。Wifiは時として使いものにならないくらい遅くなることがあった。宿の前の道路は未舗装のデコボコ道なので,雨が降るとちょっと大変かも。
