the room fridge was not working. The Room AC was difficult to operate and shut off twice in the middle of the night. The TV was not easy to operate. Only had sound but no picture. The water faucet in the shower was stuck on very hot water and ended up taking a cold shower.

Gracious staff, clean rooms and quirky architecture. Odd styling choices, which seem to be Soviet inspired, and that's part of the experience. Great value for a historic property.

It is not a hotel for $ 88. Please increase by 10-15 dollar and choose another hotel if you are visiting Kampala. I don’t want to be rude by giving details.( hygiene, food and noises are the mean issues).

Good value, if a little dated
Nice hotel, with a lovely garden area to enjoy a meal and drink in the evening. It is a little dated, but decent value for money. Service for food or drink is so slow, even by Uganda standards.
