I just got upstairs to my room after they moved to two other different rooms in this place since the doors wouldn’t close, ac is not working and I only have one towel in this room. Nothing to step out of the shower on. I tried to call them but the phone is not working 😂😂… and I had to take a cold shower. Overall not the happiest with the place but after I spoke to the manager this morning he did try to make things better. I HAVE EDITED MY REVIEW AS I FEEL I WAS A LITTLE UNFAIR

3.0 / 5.0
I loved the location. The interior was very nice plus enough space in the rooms. I also loved that breakfast had variety. I also like that the staff tried to solve my issues.
I didn't like that the water pressure was very low in the bathroom.
There was no hot water 🥵. I had to take a bath which delayed me because I had to boil water in turns. The other thing is the room I slept in wasn't full complete I think it's still under construction.
Lastly I wish the receptionist can orient a client of the necessities as he hands the keys, I reached the room without the extension numbers so I had to dress up and go back to the reception which was down stairs

breakfast was ok and the location was busy.
other from that, it was a time spent.
the television could have more channel.
4.5 / 5.0
Good hotel, a good value for the price. Very close to the main coach and minibus stations, with good breakfast and comfortable rooms. Hot water worked well during my stay, as well as WiFi. Also a convenient supermarket, pharmacy and money exchange office are located just outside the building.
As some comments have mentioned, restaurant service is really slow (but this was only for dinner, at breakfast time it was fast and efficient).

it’s location
the restaurant cannot deliver orders on time. They working hard to improve this as it is a new start of service. Food taste good. order at least 1 hour ahead of your time to eat.

Impressed with the quality of service
Nothing much really
4.0 / 5.0
Eric, front office manager was really helpful, he assisted to arrange bus tickets to Karamoja, also with the car service from the airport and dairy-free breakfast. Communication in whatsup was very prompt.
I would recommend to use giraffe car sorvice to and from airport, as hotel's car service bit overpriced. Showers not at their best. And almost no vegetarian options for breakfast.
3.5 / 5.0
Cheap! Exactly what we were looking for for our last night in Uganda!
There was a lizard in our room when we arrived - it was however quickly removed by staff
The light in our bathroom did not work - the staff said it would get fixed within 5 minutes, we waited closed to two hours. This was frustrating to me as we’d had a long day travelling and I was dying for a shower.
