A Heartfelt Ugandan Escape

calm spacefriendly staffamazing tea

My room, a King Room, was a calm space. The staff was always friendly, with smiles all around. The breakfast was nice with some amazing indian tea, and was exactly what I needed.

The room service was slow when i requested. Made me a little sad.

Dining

Breakfast had lots of options, and the staff worked hard. I could order Indian tea upon request, feel even homier. The meals and tea were a small piece of home.
