The property has a magnificent and absolutely perfect location, really close to all the amusements in downtown. There's Sips n' Bites Cafe offering takeout a 10-15 minute walking distance from the venue.

Had a such wonderful stay on a business trip, everything was good. The staff was consistently courteous and accommodating, the bathroom was good. I greatly enjoyed spending time here.

The staff were poorly trained, didn't expect that coming.

swimming pool

value for money

outdated decor

Immaculate boutique hotel with a big swimming pool and other amenities like a fridge and safe box in the rooms. Good value for money with reasonable accommodation and meal prices.

The decor is outdated and in need of TLC, particularly in the bathrooms which have poor lighting. Toiletries like towels and toilet rolls were insufficient, requiring frequent requests. The breakfast options are limited and tended to run out quickly, especially as the restaurant area became crowded. Noise from nearby clubs.

comfortably priced swimming pool

This place is a prime choice for taking strolls in Kampala with high value for money. The swimming pool was a great spot to unwind after a busy day exploring the city. Bring your own snacks since the dining options might not always satisfy your cravings.
