Hotel Chez Lando

Stayed here one night on our way back to Uganda. Not quite sure what kind of room we got because it consists of several buildings. Our room was ok, basic with a good bed with klamboe, good wifi, ok bathroom, nice shower. Bar and restaurant are in other buildings, so don't go back to reception to find it, as we did during a heavy rain shower. Restaurant an breakfast were good. Take care when ordering soup, you'll get a huge amount.

Very nice and very close to the airport. First time in Rwanda and this was a well needed rest after a long flight for our first night. Very close to the airport, and the hotel has a very nice restaurant with nice outdoor seating over looking a section of the city. Staff was very helpful, and room was comfortable.

We arrived Kigali after a long trip and were met at the airport by the hotel. It was so wonderful to have them pick us up. The hotel is a lovely spot in the middle of the city with so many flowers, plants and trees. We were going to go for a walk out side the hotel area but the grounds were so large and vegetation so varied we just stayed inside the walled area. They have a number of different types of accommodations. I think we were in the older and not so fancy area. That was fine because everything was great but you need to make sure you understand exactly which accommodations you are booking. The restaurant and bar are great and the food is excellent. It seemed that a number of the guests were locals and that is always a good sign. Our breakfast lattes were amazing. Definitely a lovely place to stay in Kigali.

I've been to Rwanda several times, but this is the first time I've stayed at Chez Lando. I'd certainly stay again! Staff across the board are incredibly attentive. Reception staff are open day and night and available for anything you might need or require. The cleaning staff are friendly and attentive, both in cleaning the room and doing laundry (I was there for 2 weeks so needed this service and wasn't disappointed). Restaurant staff are incredibly professional and friendly, accommodating every request made. Big shoutout to Innocent in the restaurant who always has a smile on his face and put a smile on mine everyday! There is also a separate BBQ area in the evenings. Prices are really quite cheap for the quality of food served. The gardens are beautiful, very well maintained, and a lovely place to sit and read/relax/do some work. The room I got was listed as an economy room, and for some it might feel a bit dated, but it had a Queen sized bed with mosquito net, a mini fridge, a desk and a separate bathroom. The TV can be a bit hit and miss with the wifi signal but I was staying for work so didn't use it much at all. Having read reviews about how busy it was, I agree that it is busy at night - it is right in the middle of Kigali in an area called Remera, which is well known for being bustling and full of shops, restaurants etc. It never bothered me as, being a Londoner, I'm used to the noise! However, you might want to request a quieter room on the opposite side of the hotel to the main road if you want more peace and quiet. There is also a regular shuttle service to the airport. All in all I would definitely stay again. It is a lovely hotel. A tip: this place is an important landmark when learning about the history of the country, make sure you know and understand the story behind this amazing place when you're there!

Very nice surroundings. Awesome food in the restaurant. And shuttle service to airport 24 hours. Staff very nice and attentive. I had two friends who were also going out on the late 2:55 am flight I was one, they allowed them to hangout with me in the room at no extra cost.

Beautiful well-manicured grounds. Close to the airport (the hotel has a free airport shuttle). Breakfast was included and the hotel has a decent restaurant. The hotel doesn’t have an elevator but it wasn’t a problem as my room was on the first floor. Also, no air conditioning in the rooms — only a fan, but in November a/c wasn’t necessary. The room I had was a bit dated but had all the amenities I needed, including a kettle, coffee, tea, toiletries, ample towels, room safe and a nice terrace. Security at the hotel was very good.
