A centrally located hotel with a great city view
Pros:

Ubumwe is located in a very walkable and central location in Kigali. I walked 5 minutes to a favorite coffee shop along a street lined with small shops and just 7 minutes to Kigali City Market. It is located just a 10 minute drive from most things in Kigali city, including the Genocide Memorial, and a 25 minute drive to Kimironko Market. My room had a great view of the city. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and met all of my needs. The breakfast staff were accommodating and warm.

Pros:

Prompt response and service, friendly professional staff. Even though I stayed in the hotel for only 1night, I was there the whole week for a training course.

Cons:

Not having someone/staff to help with my luggage on arrival and departure. The lady who attended to me at the reception had to leave her duty post at the reception to help me.
