01 — The Hotel

A contemporary stay built around genuine Rwandan hospitality

Step Town Hotel sits in the quiet suburbs of central Kigali — a quarter of an hour from the airport and walking distance from the Genocide Memorial, the central market, restaurants, banks and government offices.

We were built for both the corporate traveller and the safari-bound. What ties them together is what we care about most: being truly genuine hosts. From the front desk to the kitchen to the housekeepers turning down your bed — every person here plays a part in your stay.

The room was spotless, the Wi-Fi was actually fast, and the staff treated us like old friends. The breakfast on the balcony is worth the trip alone.

Stayed three nights between safaris. Great food, easy airport pickup, and the city views from the meeting room are something else. Will be back.

The staff are exemplary — kind, attentive, never overbearing. The brochettes at dinner were the best meal I had on the whole trip.
