Mamba
is
truly
an
all-in-one
stop;
there
is
a
restaurant,
a
bar,
a
bowling
alley,
a
pool,
billiard's
tables,
table
tennis
tables,
a
park
for
kids,
and
a
hostel.
I
stayed
in
the
hostel
and
had
a
great
experience.
The
dormitory
is
reasonably
priced
considering
Kigali
is
more
expensive
than
many
other
cities
in
East
Africa
and
Kimihurura
is
a
particularly
upscale
neighborhood
in
Kigali.
The
beds
are
comfy,
the
mosquito
nets
are
effective,
there
are
hot
showers
(hotter
than
anywhere
else
I've
stayed
in
East
Africa
-
watch
out!
It
can
actually
burn
you!),
a
beautiful
balcony
overlooking
the
property
and
the
hills
of
central
Kigali,
and
breakfast
is
included.
For
the
best
prices,
check
in
directly
through
the
hostel
as
there
is
a
check-in
fee
online.
It's
worth
noting
that
in
the
dorm,
only
a
select
few
bottom
bunks
have
power
outlets;
the
main
power
outlet
is
nearby
two
bunks
which
I
highly
recommend
snatching
if
you
get
the
chance!
The
mosquito
nets
are
also
very
tight
and
make
getting
into
the
top
bunks
quite
a
pain.
The
main
power
outlet
accepts
all
international
plugs,
but
the
wall
outlets
are
only
Euro
plug
compatible.
The
WiFi
is
inconsistent;
when
it's
fast,
it's
super
fast,
but
when
it's
slow,
it's
aggravatingly
slow.
Fortunately,
it's
fast
the
majority
of
the
time,
but
prepare
to
use
data
when
it
gets
bad.
The
people
who
work
at
the
establishment
are
all
very
friendly
and
welcoming
and
will
happily
tell
you
about
Kigali.
The
establishment
is
also
frequented
by
travelers
and
locals
alike
which
makes
a
very
fun
atmosphere
on
Fridays
and
Saturdays.
I
don't
really
have
any
points
that
annoyed
me
with
the
hostel
-
it
can
get
a
bit
loud
on
weekend
nights,
but
it
more
than
makes
up
for
it
with
the
good
food,
excellent
beer
selection,
and
great
atmosphere!
The
food
is
indeed
very
good,
but
there
are
even
better
international
restaurant
selections
nearby.
I
will
definitely
be
coming
back
if
I
find
myself
in
Kigali
in
the
future!
