Beautiful clean room. Comfortable bed and pillows. Delicious buffet breakfast with real coffee included! Hotels.com website mentioned a playground for kids but there wasn’t one… although they did have a Bouncing Castle on the Saturday which my son loved. The pool and pool area is lovely. The hot stone massage was awesome!! Loved it. Overall, a fabulous stay and we will definitely be back.

I have tried several hotels in Kampala and this one is the very best , perhaps being outside of Nakasero where my workplace is, made it a bit unappealing but the overall hospitality experience is excellent. Kudos to Angela at reception ...

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.

Checkin is 2-3pm, not 11am as per Expedia. Too conservative on resources, water dispensers are switched off, a/c is off in some rooms like gym, bathrooms didn’t smell good or fresh, etc Price was decent though considering alternatives.

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.
