“What this hotel might lack in cutting-edge design, it more than makes up for with a staff whose attentiveness borders on mind-reading, plus generously sized rooms offering comfortable beds. Its central Kampala location puts you right in the thick of things; the restaurant's surprisingly affordable menu seals the deal. If you're seeking fuss-free convenience and genuine hospitality, this is a solid choice.”
