I have been staying at the Iris for the past 4 years . I've seen it grow to keep up with the times. I've lived thru no internet, insufficient shower curtains and 1 channel of tv. Each year I am so happy to find the experience more pleasurable . This year I had nice room , with a glassed in... More

The Iris Guesthouse was a very reasonable hotel with very comfortable accommodations. It was close enough to downtown Kigali that it was easy and feasible to walk there, yet, far enough away that it was quiet. The staff were all incredibly nice and the atmosphere was beautiful! The bed was not too comfortable but that is my only complaint and... More

The guesthouse is certainly in a nice little setting, but if you are traveling for work or need internet access it is probably best to avoid. The staff are nice and friendly and the service is very good. But the rooms are very small, the bed was uncomfortable, the internet was usually out and/or I could not connect from the... More

Friendly guesthouse in a calm area of Kigali. Just a 10 minute walk from Nakumat and Mille Collines Hotel. The inner garden gives the guesthouse an extra nice environment. Rooms are clean and big enough. If possible, ask for a room at the upper floor. Good service and the food in the restaurant are good and big size portions are... More

Compared with other guesthouses in Kigali, The iris is way overpriced; the bedrooms are very small, not clean, and quit nosy. The breakfast is wan the poorest we had during our stay in Kigali. One thing, is sure, we never go back to this place, there are far more better options in Kigali.

We stayed here for 2 nights in September 2012. This is a perfect start to Kigali and any Rwandan trip. Its only about USD20 for a taxi from the airport and situated in a very nice part of town, and a big bonus are very cold beers!! Its not far from the main Genocide memorial(not walking distance though) and the... More
