This hotel has a very good standard of room. It is in a good location in Entebbe and the grounds and swimming pool are wonderful. The food is not worse than hotels nearby, but a smaller menu and a move away from trying to replicate western fare and a greater concentration on local ingredients would differentiate it. The buffet, for... More

Enjoyed staying here the night before a flight out of Entebbe. The room was clean and serene. The pool was a wonderful place to spend a lazy day. The food was okay, and the service ranged from friendly to VERY slow. More

This hotel is on the pricy side and may be worth it if you want to lounge around the pool all day. The rooms are small. We arrived after a 12 hour road trip and waited over a half an hour to get a drink and over an hour to get our food-it wasn't busy. My laundry was due at... More

Improved although I wish they would remove the carpets in the rooms and replace with wood flooring or cement tiles. Allergies are triggered accordingly. Service has improved although the food quality still leaves much to be desired....although breakfast is good particularly their omelets with everything in it (including some chills); the hotel is famous for its grounds and its diving...

I have just completed a two night stay in the hotel. I am coming out of a bush campaigner two months so I should be a reasonable easy to please custome. The hotel is typical old colonial in feel, there are many rooms and the facilities are good. The rate is pretty steep in my opinion at $220 per night... More

We were a group of 4-6 persons and we found the hotel very good. Food, service, rooms, the swimming pool and the gardens were fine. Shops were very expensive. Only thing that gave us very big problems was the payment terminal that did not work when we wanted to pay the bill. We tried paying the bill the day before... More

This was our first hotel on our holiday in Uganda and the first impressions were quite good. The hotel was clean with a good swimming pool area. The rooms were clean and a good size with a large bathroom. However even though we had a no smoking room there was a strong smell of smoke in the hotel corridors. And... More

The hotel is nice and specially I enjoyed the swimming pool. The rooms are clean. There is no wifi at the rooms, only cable connection which is very slow. The staff is very slow (room service, reception, cashier, restaurant...). The food is quite good. From my experience it's a bit expensive for what is offered. More

Generally ok, comfortable, far better than the other big Kampala and Entebbe hotels, but pretty impersonal and staff, though friendly, not too good at getting things corrected/repaired/replaced when something goes wrong. As noted elsewhere, checkout is quite a slow ordeal which should be organised with plenty of time to spare! Very good evening buffets and new swimming pool area impressive... More

Stayed here for 9 days with a group of 7 colleagues. The hotel itself is quite nice, in a good location with clean and comfortable rooms. Service, from food service in the restaurant to getting your final bill on check-out, is excruciatingly slow and terribly inefficient. The hotel serves as a long-term base for a certain airline company that houses... More
