Lemigo Hotel sits in Kimihurura, the business and diplomatic district of Kigali, behind the supreme court and within an easy walk of the Kigali Convention Centre, Kigali Heights and the Rwanda Development Board. It is one of the larger hotels in the city, with around 176 rooms ranging from standard doubles and twins through deluxe and executive rooms to junior suites, apartments and a presidential suite. The facilities are broad for the price: an outdoor pool with a children's pool and a poolside bar, a hot tub, a spa with massages and body treatments, a coffee shop, a terrace and four restaurants and bars. Rooms have air conditioning, a safe and a flat-screen television, and Wi-Fi is free in the rooms. Parking is free, and the hotel offers a free return airport shuttle, a rare and useful perk in the capital. Kigali International Airport is around sixteen minutes away by car, so arrivals and departures are quick, which suits the late flights many travellers take.
Location and getting around
Kimihurura is one of the most convenient neighbourhoods for visitors who want restaurants, cafes and modern shopping within reach on foot or a short ride. The Kigali Convention Centre and the Kigali Heights shopping and dining complex are about eight minutes away on foot, and the Genocide Memorial, Kimironko Market and Nyamirambo are all a short taxi or ride-hail trip. Most tour operators will collect you from the lobby for gorilla, Akagera and city trips, and the free airport shuttle makes the first and last hours of your stay easy.
\n\nRooms and who it suits: the range of room types means the hotel works for solo travellers, couples, families and groups. Executive rooms add space and a king bed, while the suites and apartments suit longer stays and families who want a separate sitting area, and two-bedroom apartments are available.
With a pool, a children's pool and a barbecue area, it is a good choice for families, and the spa and hot tub appeal to travellers recovering from a trek. Business guests will appreciate the central address and the meeting facilities typical of a hotel of this size.\n\nGood to know: breakfast is sold as an extra on many rates, so check what your booking includes.
Check-in is in the afternoon and check-out is at eleven in the morning, and pets are not allowed. Free cancellation is offered on some rates, which is handy when your park permits and flights are still being fixed. If you want a cheaper stay with fewer facilities, the Onomo or Park Inn in this guide are good alternatives, while the Marriott and the Serena offer the higher-end option.
