The property was very clean, quiet and the bed was most comfortable. I booked this hotel because I wanted a bathtub after my long flight from the US, and it was well worth it.

Always a great stay in mestil. Can genuinely be a home away from home. Beautiful buildings and garden with lots of great amenities. Away from the hustle and bustle of Kampala but easy access to all areas. Highly recommended.

The property is one year so it is in great condition. The rooms are very spacious and well lit. Highly recommended for personal as well as business stay. As the property is new, mostly local crowd are available which will change in due course.
