Zaria Court Hotel Kigali

10/10 Excellent
"Enjoyed my stay at Zaria Court Hotel. Professional & polite staff, good rooms and great amenities. The only amenity i didn’t get to experience which I actually looked forward to was the pool, cause that area was being renovated during my time of stay. Otherwise, it was an excellent experience for me. "

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Kigali

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Kigali is during January, March, and April, when hotel prices are lower. To fully appreciate the city's key historical and cultural landmarks, a stay of at least 3 days is recommended. This duration allows you to explore attractions such as the beautiful gardens, the intriguing local history at the castle, and the vibrant culture that defines the city. For those on a budget, Kigali offers great value for money, making it an ideal destination for travellers seeking both enriching experiences and budget-friendly options.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover affordable hotel options in Kigali, explore the Deals or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted rates as your travel date approaches. Additionally, consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to stay updated on any flash sales or special promotions, increasing your chances of securing cheap Kigali hotel deals. The Smart Shopping feature in the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you're informed about any drops in prices or availability, which could help you book a last-minute getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates could enable you to save on your stay in a hotel in Kigali. For those seeking distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised experience and potentially better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we will inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher end, we will suggest more affordable dates that may help you secure a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive, but thanks to Kigali's excellent public transport links, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel further afield that remains well connected. For those keen to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often exceptional value for money to be found.
