Beautiful old colonial hotel. Big rooms and good facilities. The restaurant is excellent. I would not stay here Friday night again though as the music is too loud.

“Very nice hotel for the price”
Very nice hotel, with very large rooms (one bedroom, one living room, large bathroom), a real swimming pool in which you can swim. Very good breakfast. Several comfortable meeting rooms within the building. The staff is very nice, helpful and discreet. Located in the best area in Kampala.

“Fine location in middle of Kampala with nice staff and -breakfast.”
Location is in the middle of Kampala so hard to reach by rental car. However, when there it’s very quiet and surrounded by trees etc. with al kinds of bird. Restaurant is nicely situated in the gardens at the ground floor. Standard room was in an outbuilding and was good but with very small bathroom. After upgrading to a more luxury room this was solved. Breakfast was excellent with very friendly staff during the whole day. Dinner was ok but - being a vegetarian - there was only one choice (risotto) so the menu can offer some more variety. Live performance of Janzi band was excellent!

“Very quiet and calming but transfers and steak a problem”
Position. Nice restaurant. Friendly staff. Food and wine good, steak a little tough ( although they do give us a free fruit bowl dessert as compensation which was a welcome touch) Spa and pool looked nice but we don’t use. Gardens very nice
