Guest Reviews
- James (10/5): Great hotel - Great hotel, always a pleasure staying there. Staff are great and I already look forward to my next visit to Kampala. Pool sun loungers need cushions and new towels.
- Rerimoi (9/5): Generally good value for money and easy to get around - I liked the location and the fact that it was close to Acacia mall. It was also safe, accommodative staff and generally clean. The gym, sauna and steam tom was good. The gym trainers were super helpful The food esp breakfast. There was no variety on the buffet. I wouldnt really call it a buffet based on what was there. We also were shocked that there was not a single Ugandan dish on the menu. It was mostly continental and Indian.
For the gym, it doesnt make sense one has to get towels from the reception. It would be better if we could get this from the same place where the gym and sauna is. The gym washrooms also didnt have any toilet paper.
For the room toilet & bathroom, there needs to be better ventilation than what is there. Hand towels for the sink would be good too

- Mannanah (7/5): Not bad for a very noisy city with boda bodas - Tranquility, no noise The food, heavily spiced, few choices on food and drinks. Juice menu needs a total upgrade. Inclusion of an English breakfast and different types of juices would be great.

- Wael (10/5): amazing - Clean and excellent treatment from the staff Non
- Daniel (6/5): Minimalt badrum - Det som var bra med hotellet är uteplatsen. Poolen är liten med okej skick. Rummen är små men det som är riktigt dåligt är badrummet som är minimalt. Gymmet är slitet. Maten är dyr. Läget på hotellet är ganska bra .
- Hashim (8/5): Very good -
- Basil (8/5): - Loved the pool area
- Kworoba (8/5): Very good -
- Joseph (10/5): Exceptional -
- Karl-Johan (6/5): Helt ok - En bra vistelse men inte mer. Trevlig personal vid poolen och i städet. Frukosten lämnade mycket att önska men köket fixade omelett om vi sa till. Dåligt med frukt vilket är konstigt då det finns frukt överallt och i rätt säsong. Vincent i serveringen och Simon i poolen gjorde all skillnad för oss. Plus för ång- och torrbastu. Lugnt område med gångavstånd till köpcentret om man har ork, ca 2-3 km.
- Reed (9/5): Superb -
- Nicholas (5/5): Waiters in the restaurant need training and motivation - That there was a restaurant and bar on site I had to keep the windows closed the hole time because to my left there 5 people smoking on the balcony the whole night
- Tea (9/5): I had a great stay all in all! Even though the food was disappointing, the staff there was so nice! And the rooms were r - I had a great stay! The people working there were very nice, and the rooms were nice! The bathroom was a bit small, and the WiFi was a bit unstable. Also, the food (both breakfast and dinner) didn’t really fit to my standards. It was a bit weird food, and some of it wasn’t that good.
- Mitchelle (9/5): Superb - Everything was A1 about my stay,the staff,cleanliness,Location,Safety,the food was very delicious as well....... The hidden charges for early check in or late check out,they don't inform you prior when you request early check in that there is a charge,you will get to the reception and start arguing with them,of course because you were not informed.
I don't know how it works, but most hotels i have stayed in offer. Early check in and check out at no extra cost
- Eleftheriou (6/5): Family trip - I like that there was a pool to entertain the kids. The pool supervisor was friendly and had them challenge themselves as they enjoyed swimming. The food and bar staff were friendly, attentive and polite. They managed the 10 of us really well. The space was limited to the group we had. Booking.com gave us the option to add a bed in the room that ate up free space in the rooms. So, we were very limited with space to move around. This was raised on the first day and Vidit (mgr) worked with us to make sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. Thank you!
Note: if we came as a couple, the rating wouldn't have been so low on the room.
- Flavio (4/5): Surcharge on the bill at the end - Don't charge the restaurant/bar to the room! The bill increases without notice! I had to complain and they eliminate the "surcharged" they applied. The could not give an explanation on what the surcharge is for, it wasn't a room service and I got the bill in local currency while consuming and at the end when I wanted to pay
- Sumit (6/5): Pleasant -
- Fredah (5/5): Nice - Loved that the rooms were clean Something should be done about the breakfast
- Mallory (10/5): - Great place to stay, thank you!
- Billy (4/5): Disappointing -
- Sarah (8/5): Lovely Hotel! - The location
Food
TV channels especially the fact they showed the football
Customer service Some of the towels were old and the lampshade was old
- Nancy (4/5): Would not recommend. - The location. The old towels which were stained.
The torn bedsheets which were also stained.
The really slow service for both in room dining and at the restaurant.
- Kasozi (8/5): Good but could do with a refurbish - The pool was clean and available to use throughout the duration of our stay. The meals prepared during lunch and dinner were fantastic! Rooms service was great, and the staff were absolutely brilliant. The breakfast is a very tired and tasteless menu. It would definitely do with more options to choose from. The rooms are a little dated and in need of some serious refurbishment. During my stay the shower poll fell off the wall onto my child's head as it was so old. Very unsafe. The sand tray in the children play area also needs to be covered at night as animals are using this as their litter tray.
- Isaac (8/5): - Great and safe place overall! Great breakfast
- Andrew (8/5): Very good -
- Violet (8/5): Wonderful Stay - Lovely ambience, friendly staff, great food. Rooms are a little dated
- Derby (10/5): Great place to stay at a reasonable price. - I liked the fresh new paint and decor. I'm very grateful for the longer heavier shower curtain as it minimizes water splashing on the entire floor. I have always enjoyed the hot shower here. The water pressure is great. I don't like asking for another bathing towel as they only put one in the room and my husband and I always travel there together. Once given a room number, upon seeing we are 2, it would be convenient if we were automatically given the other towel. Also, the housekeepers do not check the toilet paper roll balance. When the only one there is almost over, or even if not, then a spare roll should be there. We stayed 3 days. we struggled to have enough. As much as I don't like asking for another towel, asking for a roll of toilet tissue is not pleasant. I shouldn't have to ask for that.
- Sochi (3/5): Poor -
- Don (7/5): Good -
- Arsène (9/5): Superb -
- Anne (8/5): Good value for money, pleasant place, will stay here again when I travel to Kampala. - Excellent food, cosy and lovely restaurant, quiet and outside. Very friendly staff. Secure location. Balcony in every room is nice. The room should have had a light and a light switch next to the bed.
- Aminuddin (1/5): Bad -
- Keza (6/5): the stay was good but improvement on breakfast can be considered - more options oon breakfast the break fast
- Mandla (9/5): Superb -
- Hamed (8/5): Very good -
- Willem (8/5): Very good -
- Asma (7/5): Good - The common areas like swimming pool , the restaurant area are nice, the rooms are fine. The breakfast items are few, and they mostly finish before the timing of breakfast is over and not refilled again. So some of the guests that don’t come early enough will not find the breakfast.
The bathroom is very small and always stinky because the curtains used are thick and hold all the odors, there’s no enough ventilation on the bathroom as well.
- Yamsani (4/5): Disappointing - Food quality is poor, chef don't make good food No
