Inside Afrika Boutique Hotel

Attentive staff, great views of Kigali, attractive African textiles, complementary breakfast cereals- yogurt-choice of juices-fruit-coffee, hotel manager arranged a good driver to pick me up at the airport ($20), delightful pool, laundry services, wonderfully authentic African experience, safe walking around Kigali even late at night alone as a single woman, and I felt very safe at the hotel.

When I was walking I got lost a couple of times coming back to the hotel, until my driver showed me how the hotel is just around the corner from the Gorrilla Hotel, and ndeed, as he explained, "*Everyone* knows where the gorilla hotel is. People in Kigali don't know this hotel. Maybe it's too new. It's a quiet hotel with an unassuming entrance.
