Ezra boutique villa

It's a cozy, quiet option in Kigali for someone on a budget, close to the convention centre, Kigali Heights shopping mall, and Lemigo hotel. There's a restaurant with some variety on the menu, and the staff are friendly and helpful. The owner is a welcoming, friendly gentleman who enjoys a conversation and is good company.

The breakfast was included and delicious, and you should try their African Tea. The lawn is lovely, with little huts for private space and plenty of seating. I had a nice bathroom and a decently sized, airy room full of light, with essentials like soap, towels, drinking water, and a mosquito net. The place was clean and well managed, and the staff were so sweet and made sure I had what I needed. It's in Kimihurura, within easy walking distance of nice restaurants, the Convention Centre, Kigali Heights, and more. They picked me up from the airport without hassle and gave me amazing mixed fruit juice when I arrived. There was no prepayment, so I paid at the end of my two days. The reception and kitchen staff were especially kind while I waited for my negative covid reports. The owner was lovely and polite, and we ended up laughing.

The rooms are spacious, and the hotel is close to the KCC, but the service is poor. If you stay here, bring your own toothbrush and toothpaste. What I paid didn't feel worth the value.

Check-in was horrible. I booked the room through AirBnB, but they said I had no reservation when I arrived. The owner was acting as the facility's host on AirBnB, while someone else managed the property, and the management had no idea about my booking. In the end, it worked out because I got a better deal elsewhere.
