    traffic congestion
    room timing

    Impeccable cleanliness and a professional team made the stay enjoyable. The front desk staff was exceptionally helpful, even providing a charger for my laptop when I needed it. Fresh dishes offered at the restaurant elevated my dining experience, though the breakfast selection could use some enhancement. Traffic congestion outside posed a challenge for travel plans, so timing was crucial.

    I stayed in a Deluxe King Room for 3 nights. It was super clean and comfy, perfect for unwinding after a busy day. Aircon worked great, and I loved accessing my favorite TV channels. The staff went above and beyond, even helping with my laptop charger. Only downside was the traffic outside, which made getting around a bit of a hassle. But overall, a solid stay!

    responsive staff

    It was just a great match for a two-day stay in Kampala with all in all brilliant value for money. The staff were really responsive to my request for extra towels and delivered them within minutes. Be sure to check your phone’s WiFi compatibility before you arrive to avoid connection issues.
