Hotel Chez Lando

Hotel Chez Lando suits travellers who want comfortable, dependable rooms in Kigali without paying five-star rates. It has been operating for years in the Remera area and is a familiar name to NGO staff, regional business travellers and independent tourists passing through the city. It will not impress anyone with design flair, but it delivers consistent value, which is what most people actually need for a one or two night Kigali stop.

Location and access

The hotel is in Remera, a residential and business area a short drive from central Kigali and from Kigali International Airport, roughly 15 to 20 minutes depending on traffic. It sits within reach of restaurants, supermarkets and the Kigali Convention Centre area without being in the busiest part of downtown.

What to know before you book

• A solid choice if your priority is value rather than views or design, rooms are clean and functional rather than stylish.
• Popular with long-stay NGO and business guests, ask about extended-stay rates if you are in Kigali for more than a few nights.
• Airport transfer is short from Remera, useful for late arrivals or early gorilla-trekking departures north to Musanze.
• Wifi and generator backup are standard at this level of hotel in Kigali, but confirm current service if you need guaranteed connectivity for work.
• Good base for exploring Kigali’s genocide memorial sites and local restaurants without downtown hotel pricing.

How it compares

Hotel Chez Lando and Kigali Serena Hotel both work well as a Kigali base, but they suit different budgets and expectations. Choose Chez Lando for straightforward value in Remera, especially on a longer NGO or business stay. Choose the Serena if you want five-star facilities, a spa and a central, government-district address, and you are willing to pay more for it.

FAQs

How far is the airport?
Kigali International Airport is roughly 15 to 20 minutes from Remera by road, one of the shorter airport runs in the city. This makes the hotel a practical choice for late arrivals or early departures, including early starts for gorilla trekking north to Musanze. Confirm pickup timing with the hotel in advance.

Does this suit a short Kigali stopover?
Yes, this is exactly what most guests use it for. It works well as a stop before or after gorilla trekking, or as a base for a short business trip, without the cost of a five-star hotel. Ask about extended-stay rates for longer visits.
