Nice Hotel

A very nice hotel that offers good value for money. This hotel is located near the city centre. The staff very courteous, friendly and obliging. The food excellent. The rooms modern, very clean and well presented. The only negative is that the sheets, though clean were stained. I will definitely stay here again.

The staff are the greatest asset, very friendly, helpful and caring. The hotel also responds promptly to requests and feedback. They could do better with environmental concerns such as waste and water by not automatically washing towels every day and taking soap that is still usable.

I have stayed here a few times this year and really like the property. Service is excellent - probably the best in Kampala - Sarah, Christopher, Phillip, Sharon and Florence deserve a special mention. Pleasantly surprised to get a room upgrade at check-in. A fantastic central Kampala option - especially when they finally finish the gym upgrade!
