    The hotel was located very close to the common areas, the centre, and Yambi. The staff were caring, the breakfast we had was freshly cooked and tasteful by a very friendly chef. Booked a room with such character. The venue's position was peaceful and beautiful, in a quiet neighbourhood.

    Quiet and stunning location in a peaceful neighborhood with a chill lounge area vibes. Our dorm room had everything we needed - an electric kettle, microwave, and a cozy seating spot. 🌟.

    The staff went above and beyond to make our family feel welcome. The outdoor seating area and spacious grassy area were perfect for the kids to play and for us to relax. We enjoyed cycling and hiking in the nearby scenic trails, adding an adventurous touch to our stay. The highlight was the chef, who prepared delicious meals that the whole family loved. The friendly atmosphere and excellent service truly made our family getaway memorable.

    My kids wished there was a swimming pool at the guesthouse.

    The venue is in a great location, just a short walk from a medieval cathedral, and conveniently close to the commercial center, public and private transport, and Rwanda itself.

    The location here is perfect, being very close to public transportation and the peaceful garden, as well as the nearby kimironko market. The room is beautifully decorated and very clean, with a private bathroom and fresh sheets, just like they said it would be.

    We had an amazing stay at Yambi Guesthouse, feeling right at home from the moment we arrived. The beautiful African-style room was always clean and had comfortable beds with good nets. The daily home-cooked breakfast was a highlight, with plenty of choices to satisfy all appetites. The staff and owner were incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to assist us. The cozy living room provided a relaxing space to unwind and enjoy the breathtaking night view over the city. Despite being a bit far from downtown, the quiet and authentic neighborhood added to the charm of the guesthouse. The friendly and attentive staff made our trip to Kigali truly outstanding. I highly recommend this beautiful guesthouse for a memorable stay in Rwanda.
