A lush oasis
Great location, beautiful grounds - a lush oasis in the middle of the city. Service excellent, especially in executive lounge. Food offering not brilliant but still good enough.

Beautiful and classy but please please change or update your pillows. Someone booking a good room means they want a good rest. It’s terrible when you can’t sleep because you can feel the age lumps in your pillows. Everything else was great!

Great hotel and beautiful setting. My only issue was that the bed was not that comfortable so I had a bit of difficulty sleeping.

We loved it. But the pool area closes too early. And mosquitos kept on attacking me😀 Such a wonderful hotel should have a Michelin restaurant. To do so the Pearl restaurant should change the menu. When i heard the name - the Pearl restaurant i thought that they where serving lokal dishes from different plages in Uganda. This is a tip. Uganda has so much to offer. You could turn ugandas different lokal dishes in a unique and exclusive way. In the Wine champagne bar- cocktails should be with lokal ingredients and garnishing. Make seasonal cocktails. You could have gin & tonic Uganda waragi with tonic water. With Uganda waragi - you can make cocktails with different flavours like pineapple cocktail, mango cocktail, Uganda has rim and sweet wine - use it in cocktails.

This is a luxurious hotel, with beautiful grounds and pools. The Deluxe rooms are large and have everything you might need including a huge desk and a sitting area; the beds are very comfortable, and the bathroom has a bathtub and a shower. I loved the service provided by the staff at the Lakes Restaurant, especially Yona. In general, the staff were very professional and friendly. They made us feel welcomed. There is really nothing to dislike about Serena. My son loved our weekend here.
