5 Swiss Hotel is in good, green area. It is nice little, cosy hotel with some excellent services, like taxi service and free, quick laundry. The staff is very helpful. Thank you!

Rooms were great, staff friendly and helpful with early check-ins/late check outs. Restaurant on site served great food. Free laundry was a bonus as was the table football and the beautiful birds near the outdoor seating area. Only issue was taxis - hotel had a driver but he was really expensive and we had to plan ahead for pick up and drop off

Great location, good sized room and nice atmosphere. The bed is a bit stiff for me but with jet lag was no issue. .

J'ai eu beaucoup de plaisir à séjourner dans cet hôtel. Bien situé par rapport aux activités offertes par Kigali, c'est néanmoins un havre de paix, de tranquillité, avec de la verdure. Se relaxer tranquillement après une journée chargée est un réel plaisir, avec un personnel aux petits soins, comme le patron William, d'ailleurs. Beaucoup de disponibilités pour organiser les transports ou des activités.

The staff went out of their way to be helpful and my room was quiet and comfortable with beautiful plants outside the door. I enjoyed the breakfast with so many choices and the dinners were also delicious. I plan to stay at 5 Swiss again next year when I return to Rwanda.

How lucky to have chosen 5 Swiss for my stay in Kigali! This is a true gem tucked away on picturesque, quiet streets close to sites, moto taxis, and groceries/shopping. It was always a pleasure to return “home” to the warmth of 5 Swiss staff, a lovely garden, and my comfortable room. I hope to return one day!

バルコニーに通じるサッシのカギが壊れており、フロントに電話。カギの状態が悪く修理は明日と言われた。しかし翌日も対応せず、結局壊れたままでせっかくのバルコニーを利用出来なかった

The staff are so helpful and friendly. Enjoyed the food. Lovely clean room and comfortable bed. More like home than a hotel.

A very good hotel, excellent service, modern room in older building, surroundings beautiful. I had the best filet mignon I have had for a long time. I can recommend this charming hotel.

I felt at home during my first few minutes at the 5 Swiss Hotel. The staff treated me like family and I will never forget all of the wonderful people I met. Nadine, you will always be in my heart, as well as Sylvere, Mya, William. I could just keep going. Good food in the restaurant for dinners, wonderful breakfasts, and lovely grounds. A short walk to the free zone, which is great for shopping, grabbing some local food, or just walking around. Any day trips that you might want to take can be set up with the staff. Even the drivers they send you out with are helpful and kind. I highly recommend this hotel for your stay in Kigali. You will not be disappointed. I think fondly of my stay often.

All the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. My room was spacious, comfortable and quiet. The grounds are small but are filled with beautiful flowers, fruit trees and herbs. I enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant, with soft jazz playing and delicious food. I love the vine covered exercise area tucked in above the parking lot. There is plenty of room for drivers to pull in, turn around and exit. This was my first time staying at 5 Swiss and I plan to return on my next teaching trip to Rwanda.

Very helpful and friendly staff!!!! Great location and very calm premise. Highly recommended specially for business trips. The staff at the reception and bar are very supportive.

My friend recommended it and the best price was on Hotels.com. It’s clean, modern and comfortable with friendly staff. Not stuffy at all. Well situated in Kigali and a good base for exploring further afield. A nice lounge and garden to drink a coffee while chatting to your friends. The bar and restaurant are reasonably priced and food is good. Breakfast is plentiful.

The hotel is a quaint and cosy place with exceptional service. I absolutely loved the compound with its green spaces, there are many secluded areas one could just hang out, listen to music and read a book. Although it is small, I found it to be private and very comfortable. I absolutely loved my room, it was super clean and quiet. I got a hill view room, but unfortunately they were out of the ones with a balcony. I recomend the rooms with a balcony and will definitely get one of those on my next visit.
