“In Kampala's upscale Kololo suburb, this four-star property emphasizes guest wellness with its fitness center and proximity to the Uganda Golf Course and Acacia Mall. Its extensive conference space accommodates up to 350 guests, but a terrible experience was reported; stone oven pizza and superior breakfast were highlighted. A convenient option for business and leisure, it's best suited for those who value location and amenities.”
