Reviews and Ratings
I was pleasantly surprised by the hotel. The rooms were not the ones I had booked initially, but they were clean and comfortable, despite a slight fishy smell. The service was excellent, from the cleaners to the reception staff, going out of their way to make my stay pleasant. The location was practical for our needs, being in the city center and safe, although a bit noisy due to traffic. The dining experience was a mix; the food was fantastic with local fruits but in need of an overhaul. Overall, the facilities were good, making my stay enjoyable and convenient.
I stayed at a hotel right outside the exit, near the street. It was tough, especially for the boy carrying the bags, but overall good with a few minor issues like squeaky doors. The complimentary breakfast was a nice touch.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of comfort and disappointment. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and bright, but the price for an executive room was quite high around $200 per night. The service was personal and welcoming, especially for regular guests like me, though some extra services like airport shuttle were paid. The location was great, providing easy access to most parts of Kampala city, but there were occasional small hiccups. The dining experience was good with a variety of food options but not grand. Overall, a decent stay with a few drawbacks.
The hotel is like a maze to get to your room but offers leafy nooks and gardens along the way. The service is top-notch with accommodating and friendly staff. The location is strategic for exploring the city but suffers from traffic noise. The dining experience is decent with a variety of options. The rooms with 3 single beds were tough to navigate but clean.
The hotel had lovely and new rooms with great A/C and new fixtures; clean with basic needs but overlooked the restaurant kitchen and road outside. The service was really nice and always helpful, with secure taxis and friendly staff. The location is nice but with some traffic noise, while the rooftop pool and bar made it comfortable. The dining experience was excellent, especially at the onsite Asian Fusion restaurant. The facilities were good.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The deluxe room was spacious with great facilities and very clean. The service was top-notch, friendly, and accommodating. The location was superb, in an upscale part of Kampala within walking distance of clubs and the mall. The dining experience was amazing with a variety of delicious options. However, the pillows and mattress had some stains which was a downside.
