    Braw stay! The air conditioning was a pure blessing after hot days up North, and the breakfast was cracking with room service speed. But, I did find the Indian restaurant a bit of a letdown.

    Consider requesting a room in the main building to avoid the discomfort of dark pathways at night.

    spacious apartment
    slow restaurant service
    mosquito infestation

    The apartment was bigger than expected and pleasant.

    The restaurant service was incredibly slow. I waited 30 minutes without anyone approaching me. the mosquito problem was a nightmare. I barely slept due to their presence, and even after requesting a net, it didn’t fit well. To top it all off, the location of the apartment is awkward and feels disjointed from the main hotel.

    friendly staff

    central hotel close to famous landmarks and parks

    This is my third stay at the hotel and I can highly recommend it, as the location really allows you to easily explore Kampala's highlights like the Independence Monument, which is just a few steps away, and the Uganda National Museum, located almost 2 km from the hotel, making my city walks enriching and enjoyable.

    Had a great couple of nights here! The staff were super friendly and the breakfast choices were awesome, but that noise from the nightclub made it hard to sleep. Chur!

    friendly service

    It was just a fitting option for a weekend break in Kampala with extraordinarily good value for money. The reception staff were friendly and helpful, making the check-in process quick and easy. Make sure to ask for a non-smoking room if you don't want that smell lingering in your space.

    spacious apartment
    helpful staff
    excellent indian food
    inconvenient location

    I booked a standard apartment for 4 nights, which was bigger than expected but pleasant. The autonomy of the apartment made it worthwhile. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the Indian food in the Khyber Pass was probably the best I've had. The kitchen in the apartment was stocked with plates and cookware, and the stove and fridge worked as well.

    The apartments are not in the main hotel and require traversing a parking bay.
