The accessibility to the city center and other landmarks is #1 selling point. From all its access points, this hotel displays a well organized, secure atmosphere. Unlike many hotels in Kampala, this hotel's staff is not always in your face. Customer care is absolutely amazing. Very spacious rooms, plus their breakfasts are some of the best with endless item selection every day. Yes, the service is great, too.

Besides a bathroom plumbing issue due to a likely drainage problem, there weren't many complaints. Their room rates are pricey, so budget accordingly 🙂

Exceptionally service-minded and kind staff. Professionalism and hospitality at its finest. Room was spacious, clean, shower was good. Lovely garden-area and excellent breakfast with all you could want. The stone bakes pizza was simply amazing.

The room felt a bit antiqued, there was only one electric socket in my room so I had to put the water boler on the floor, and the shower curtain needs an upgrade as it stuck to me in the shower..

Polite and welcoming staff. Classy. Comfortable Bed. Quiet enronment and excellent location around town. Cleanliness and orderliness is their priority and very excellent shower pressure. Security, though a bit too much. Overall nice hotel.

Can't smoke sometimes on my balcony. A hotel for non-smokers only!

The quality of the food has improved. Alan and Rogers were brilliant!

the night club opposite the property must go or find a way to sound proof the rooms.

The room was comfortable and quiet. The breakfast was amazing with a wide choice of food and drinks. The staff were very helpful.

The only thing I can think of is that one day the lift wasn't working.
