“Great value Home from Home in heart of Kampala”
It’s a perfect location for central Kampala with many decent restaurants and bars in walking distance and ten minutes from excellent Acacia Mall. Staff are super friendly and professional and almost unchanged in the eight years I have been coming here. The bar and restaurant are relaxing w decent western food.
