Hotel dal fascino africano , ideale sia per lavoro che per piacere
Pros:

L'hotel è in una posizione stupenda, in zona di decoro e molto tranquilla. La struttura è in african style, ma al contempo dotata di ogni comfort moderno. La camera era spaziosa, il bagno ottimamente equipaggiato, il letto comodo, inclusi i cuscini e ottimi anche i servizi. Ho usato la palestra che ho trovato grande, ben equipaggiata e splendidamente pulita, così come la piscina in cui lo staff fa di tutto per farti stare in relax e divertirti.

Cons:

Per quanto l'Uganda ne sia famoso, migliorerei la qualità del caffè che ho trovato troppo forte (ma magari è un'impressione personale).
Mi sembra troppo costoso il servizio shuttle da/per aeroporto, mentre ho trovato giusti i costi degli spostamenti in città.
Manca una selezione di vini italiani e considerando che all'interno c'è anche un ristorante che propone piatti di cucina italiana è assolutamente da prevedere.

Pros:

A wonderful hotel very centrally located. The rooms are very spacious, good food in different restaurants and a great bar. The garden is magnificent and the pool just perfect.

Cons:

Check in and check out was a bit inefficient and a hotel in that category should provide rooms where all is functional - the balcony door had an issue and the room smells of cigarette smoke.
