This hotel is a gem! It's perfectly located in a charming neighborhood with an adorable Italian restaurant nearby and easy access to the Entebbe airport. The rooms are spacious and modern, offering a balcony with a lovely view, but there's a slight price issue. The service is top-notch with a variety of amenities available, making it worth the cost. However, the dining experience was simplistic, serving only soup, which could use some improvement.

I had a delightful stay at this hotel! The location was perfect, with lovely Italian restaurants nearby and just a short distance from the airport for my flight out. The rooms were cozy and had balconies offering a nice view. The service was top-notch, and the staff went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. However, the dining experience left a bit to be desired, and the facilities were not as modern as I had hoped.
