Before you check in to Tea House B&B, here's what to know about choosing the right room.

Best rooms to request

Request rooms on higher floors (3rd floor or above) at the Tea House B&B in Kigali. This is because KG 121 St is a relatively busy street, and higher floors are likely to be further away from the street noise. Additionally, the hotel has a 3-star rating, suggesting a more modern layout, and it's likely that the higher floors have better soundproofing. Specifically, rooms on the east side (away from the street) on the 3rd floor or above may be a good option.

⚠️

Rooms to avoid
