Like the location, quite near the city center. Good breakfast and very helpful staff. A lot of plants next to restaurant and entrance. Very nice atmosphere. Also I got room only for myself, which was unexpected and very useful, I could rest easily after long journey. Soft towel and a balcony - also add some points to my overall rate :)

The hotel occupies floors from 8, to 14 or 16. So all rooms have views to the city center. The location, is very centric, just opposite of central police station. It is in walking distance from the local artesian and crafts shops. and from down town. Some rooms are spacious.

Very nice location on top of a hill with big trees and a nice view on the lake. Nice place away from polluted air and the noise from the city centre. The room was not very spacious, but big enough for me. I liked the food offered in the restaurant.

The staff were really welcoming, helpful and friendly. The restaurant went out of its way to provide vegetarian food The busy downtown location was perfect for access to all the big markets and shopping areas. Also handy access to main mosque and temple.

The staff were very pleasant and really try to accommodate you (client oriented), which I much appreciated. The location is downtown Kampala, so very accessible and walking distance from some big shopping malls. It is surely value for money and an ideal place for a short stay.

The best place to stay in Kampala. We always stay here when we travel through Uganda with students for a school project. The staff is amazing and really helpfull! They have great food and also good breakfast choices. The rooms are clean as well as the shared toilets and showers. The hotel has a guard at the gate which makes us feel safe.

Value for money. This sums it up. A hotel suitable for economic trips. The room is small with bathroom. There are no cupboards, breakfast, No luxuries. Suitable for someone on a business trip who comes to rest at the end of the day. Again, no luxuries are available. The location is close to the city center. The staff is wonderful, friendly and helpful.
