The location was further out than I expected, but everything about the place itself was really lovely. I absolutely loved the decor and ambiance. The breakfast (though quite pricey) was very nice, well made and healthy, and all the people at Cozy Stays were very kind accommodating, including taking me around and ensuring I got to the airport on time ☺️ Very grateful for this. Overall, a beautiful and peaceful place.

Macchiato Suites is a recently renovated guest house in Kigali, where guests can make the most of its garden and bar. This guest house features free private parking, a 24-hour front desk and free WiFi. The modern restaurant serves African and American cuisine, as well as Cajun Creole and Mediterranean dishes.

Excellent value for money. The staff are amazing, especially Andrew, who kept in touch with me to make sure I was OK even after I left and continued my journey to other destinations. As I was leaving, he arranged for the taxi driver to take me directly to my bus (the driver actually stopped next to the bus in the busy bus park!). The rooms are clean, mine had a nice balcony. The restaurant served some of the best food I had in Rwanda, and there's a nice view from the restaurant over the city. The place is located close to shops, including a nice supermarket. The very centre of Kigali is short moto taxi ride away. Of course, it's not a luxury hotel, but for the money they charge it's really hard to beat.

    Great location. Near several restaurants. Shopping centre is about a kilometre away. Churches also near by. Not far from the city centre. The Host is very helpful and assisted me to get car hire, food and information about Kigali. Thanks too for the Kola nuts, highly appreciated. They can get Naija meals/ snacks from a near-by restaurant. The staff are also friendly and helpful. Meals can be cooked for you at an extra charge, there is a stay in friendly caretaker who doubles as the cook. Overall, I had a great stay.
