Great rooms. Clean. Great AC! Wifi functional but took hours to set up with tech people. Kitchen was lackluster, unresponsive to concerns, and routinely served products not as advertised. When addressed the dismissed or gasslighted customers.

We stayed at the hotel on two different occasions. The staff is excellent with one huge exception. Hwd (don't know spelling) is terrible. He typically ignores if we ask a question. He says "no" to almost everything we asked about if he isn't ignoring. When his shift was over and we ask other receptionist the same question is "sure we can do that". I would rate lower but the rest of the staff was outstanding. The problem is that often he is the only receptionist so you cant get simple issues solved until the next day. We wont be going back.

Very nice stay!
Very impressive place! One night stay, but I will definitely stay here again in the future. Room was very spacious, super clean, and comfortable. Gym had everything I needed for a quick workout. Breakfast was quite a FEAST! They give you a menu card the night before to fill out and slide under your door before you go to bed, and in the morning everything was as requested, and delicious. Service staff was very courteous and professional.

I would say that if I desperately needed a place to sleep and this was the last property, I would scoot past it without a thought! I almost met my death at this property when I slid and fell in the bathroom while taking a shower. I survived with a bursted elbow - with blood all over my beddings. My room, like all others at this property, had a smooth tiled shower area with no bath mat or shower slippers provided. Simply said, it created the perfect environment for a classic slip and fall disaster in waiting. As fate would have it, I stepped into the bathroom for my shower (right before going to bed) and just as I was almost done, I slipped and fell - thanks to the soapy water on the floor. Luckily, I survived what could’ve been catastrophic. It only got worse when later, I spoke with staff who were ostensibly authorised to make decisions on behalf of the hotel management, decided that my complaint was not concerning enough to escalate. Even when they promised they would follow up with me, to date, I have yet to hear back – never mind the times I have tried to reach out to them. Suffice it to say that I rarely leave negative reviews for businesses especially in Kampala, but this is one I find, I just couldn’t help. The hotel management was given an opportunity to ‘rise to the occasion’ long before this review was posted, in vain. P.S. I have pictures to back up all my claims!!

This place is modern and in very good condition. The quality of the finish is much better than that in other properties in Uganda. I loved the layout of the apartment and the amenities.

Poor............
I stayed here at a very good nightly rate in Dec 20. The rooms (suites) are very small. Unsure whether the very disappointing service was Covid-driven or if it´s always this average. Over a three night stay breakfast was never served on time, we never received what we ordered, and no one really appeared to care. The restaurant was being refurbished but we weren´t told at booking or check-in. At the rate we paid it was just about acceptable but at normal rates you wouldn´t. And we won´t again.
