Good hotel with a crucial flaw.

This hotel was nice . Sadly , I never had hot water had cold showers for all 6 days that I stayed there. Except for this it had a good restaurant and great service from the staff . I won’t stay there again as it is not a cheap hotel and hot showers should be taken as mandatory.

Extremely noisy on Fri/Sat/Sun nights! Booming music, the windows even shake; this is not a place for restful retreat. But it does the job for a quick in-city stay.

Shady dealings

While my stay was good, the hotel charged me costs of a previous guest and because i didnt check the receipt at check out i only realised this when i was submitting my expenses to my company. Despite writing to the hotel to ask them to send me the correct receipts, they have been non responsive. This keaves such a bad taste in the mouth and although i liked the location, iam not going back there. I have also notified the group that booked the meeting there and they equally were not successful in getting me the correct receipts. Never going back there

Very likeable but not loveable

A really good option for central Kampala: clean, reasonable food, good value, great location. Rooms very small, nothing remarkably good or bad - except the "gym" which is a few weights and a couple of cardio machines in two of the very small rooms. Note to management - if you can't do a gym properly don't do it at all. I'd stay here again but not pack the exercise gear.
