Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While it offered excellent value for money, the rooms were too basic for the price paid and lacked free wifi. The service, on the other hand, was super friendly and helpful, with convenient amenities. The location, although close to the airport, made for a noisy night due to its proximity to busy roads.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were not all that great for the price, lacking free Wi-Fi and facing a noisy street and hotel public areas that let in stale air. On the positive side, the service was exceptional, with extremely friendly and helpful staff going out of their way to assist. The location was convenient for exploring local attractions and close to the airport, but the dining, although good, could have better portion sizes and variety. The facilities were decent but could use improvements.
The hotel is conveniently located near the airport and within a short distance from the zoo and Lake Victoria shore. The staff is friendly and willing to assist with transit arrangements, and the attention to detail is impressive. However, the noise level from the busy road outside could affect your restful night. The garden is lovely, the food is great, and it's well situated close to the Botanical Gardens.
The hotel rooms were very clean and decorated with local art, but they were very small and had lizards and their excrement all over the place. The service was very welcoming and they even baked their own bread, provided by the helpful staff. The location is very convenient, close to the airport and within short distances to local attractions. The dining experience was good but could use larger portions. Overall, the facilities were decent.

The dining experience had its drawbacks with standard portions, but overall, the facilities were satisfactory.
