This hotel was super cute. They picked us up from the airport and even came early since our flight arrived over an hour early. The property is a bit dated but still comfortable. We walked around safely from the property and appreciated how close to the mall they were for quick access to a ATM. The staff is super nice however our safe was locked when we arrived and we called 3 separate times over the course of 4 hours and no one ever unlocked it. That was super frustrating since we had to carry our valuables everywhere cause no one ever unlocked it. The other downside is it says airport transportation is included however it must mean only one way because we had to pay $15 to be taken to the airport which isn’t a problem but isn’t clearly stated. This is a great stay for one night

Great little hotel!

This is a beautiful little getway by Lake Victoria. The staff is kind and welcoming and the rooms are nice. You just need to be mentally and physically prepared for no AC. They do provide a fan though and a refrigerator to keep your complementary waters cool.

Given that the hotel didn’t have many guests, I would think they could have put me in a better room than the view of the parking lot. Their rate is much higher than the hotel next door, which I have stayed at several times. For a quick overnight, I will likely pick another option and save money.

Absolutely a little gem of a hotel in Entebbe. It sits 40 meters from the shores of lake Victoria with a restaurant literally kissing the water. The atmosphere here is warm friendly and welcoming with a staff that loves their job. The food is delicious and it’s only 15 minutes by car to the airport. Can highly recommend this hotel

This was a very nice property with Lake Victoria access. The room was well appointed and comfortable. The staff was very friendly and efficient. The shuttle driver was there to pick me up at the airport even at a very late hour. My room was ready and waiting. I would stay here again.

Stay here!

After staying one night, I had to stay again for a couple of more nights at the end of the trip. The service and the accommodations were great. It was also close to a mall and a craft market. They also include an airport shuttle which is very convenient.

The staff was so nice and friendly! The breakfast had lots of variety. It is walkable to a mall and also right next to the lake with many restaurants and bars to visit. We also went for a run and saw the botanical garden and zoo close by. We will recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area!
