5 Swiss Hotel

Wonderful location and terrific staff. Cassandra and the other staff did their best to make me comfortable. It was a little expensive and I wish the TV had worked. But I was glad I stayed here and would book this hotel again if I return to Rwanda.

5 Swiss is always a friendly place to be. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the dining and bar area are lovely, breakfast is good, dinner is good and the staff are helpful and friendly. We always stay here in Kigali.|It’s an easy walk to the city centre but a quiet spot.|Airport service is really helpful.

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.

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.

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.

I can’t say enough good things about this little gem of a hotel. I’ve been at the hotel for two weeks for a work trip. It’s very clean , staff are attentive , breakfast is wonderful , laundry is free (!) , restaurant has good options that are affordable , solid internet , friendly airport shuttle service , and a comfy bed . It’s also very close to great restaurant options , cafes , and the car free zone . I highly recommend 5 Swiss to any traveler !

Excellent and Homely place to be at. Very clean, excellent customer care, and great location.

Nice cosy hotel close to the financial district of Kigali. Has a small gym, and bikes you can rent, a decently priced restaurant where you can make special requests such as for a late meal.| |They have a small gym and bikes you can borrow to ride around. Also, does free laundry.
