The room was roomy. Hotel was staffed 24 hours to answer questions. It was a decent value for the money. Nice balcony view. It was a good location since I was going to Hoima. The restaurant's food was good for me. I had a surprisingly tasty hamburger. I also ordered a Greek salad. Ever have a Greek salad without cheese (feta) or olives?? :D But it was enjoyable.

Hotel has airport pick up service with similar to taxi prices and their car is big and it is good for families. It has fair satisfied breakfast for African standards and beter than many properties. Location was nice to reach many things for city lovers. In my opinion, Price and quality ratio is high. It has helpfull smiling staff. It has always hot water. Nights were silent for resting.

“Friendly and welcoming staff and will attempt/ consider to stay again”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 7 nights
Breakfast is very basic with limited choices and I was surprised that the TV's in the rooms display only one channel and that each floor of the hotel has a different WIFI-network name.
The Head House Keeper (Irene) ensured that all my requests were met at short notice. All other staff members including receptionists were helpful.

There was no variety in terms of the breakfast menu. it was just about 2 menus which were being alternated. If you happen to go late for breakfast you will not get some items as there will have been finished. Wonder how this happens considering that they already know the number of people in the rooms. The wifi connection was poor.
The location is very quiet which is good for those who would like to rest or study. The facilities are still fairly new.

“I would stay there again. Just remember, it's Uganda, not London, NY, Warsaw, etc....”
- • Business trip

- • Stayed 3 nights
I had no air conditioning or fan in the room, although it was listed on my reservation. Not a big problem in the rainy season. It's cool at night anyway. But during the hot season, this would not be acceptable for me. Also, since the total amount for my stay was in USD, and listed as such, the receptionist thought that the she had to multiple the listed total cost as per night. Good thing I have limits on my debit card which immediately blocked it. I asked her to write out the total cost, and then told her it was wrong and explained everything. She then proceeded to enter the correct amount, which was paid for via Visa. Also at breakfast, I wanted an extra piece of egg omelet and was told only 1/2 per person, but got one extra piece of potato. If you come late and they have no juice, you are out of luck. Location is off the main road, so you had to take dirt roads to the hotel. But maybe that's a good thing considering how "lively" that part is.
