Pros:

After an exhausting day crossing the border from Uganda, this hotel was just what we needed to relax. Very comfortable, great staff, good location and the breakfast was also very nice. Highly recommend! The rooftop bar has a nice view over Lake Victoria and serves some good food.

Pros:

The location is good both for access to the city and airport. Staff is friendly and professional. Rooms are clean and neat.

Cons:

Sadly my room had a nightclub just outside the window that was open to 3am. After
They the nearby Mosque started calling. So no slept that night 😅
So ask for a room that faces the front. Not the back. My colleagues were not disturbed in their rooms.

Fix the sewer system of the hotel, it's a health risk to everyone.
Pros:

The location was good and I liked it.

Cons:

After a long journey and having a pregnant wife, only to be given a room that had the smell of a sewage. No night manager was available, only the receptionist who at first refused to change the room for us. It took more than 2 hours of hard negotiation and threats that made the receptionist to change the room. Very disappointing!

A Quiet Stay With Friendly Staff
Pros:

My one night stay at Selella resort was very comfortable and the staff were welcoming, friendly and efficient. I was particularly impressed with Winnie, the receptionist who quickly checked me in and Liset who showed me to my room and answered my questions.
I also enjoyed a lovely fish dinner in the restaurant and the waitress ( I think it was Eunice) did an excellent job as well.
The room itself was very comfortable with a view of the lake. If I had a choice, I would definitely stay at Selella Resort again.

Cons:

Nothing.

Pros:

Very friendly staff and clean rooms. The only setback is the bathroom which is toilet and shower combo. The instant shower is also not easy to get used to.

Comfortable and nice stay
Pros:

The room was very clean and pleasant. WiFi and aircon worked well. The sleeping quality was good. Staff is friendly and helpful. The location is good - not far from the airport and with a good view to Lake Victoria from the roof top bar. Breakfasts were good and tasty.

Cons:

Despite a long list of the different dishes in the restaurant menu a lot of positions were unavailable - for example, no one fish dish was available - a bit disappointment when you are on the shore of Lake Victoria and want to taste some lake fish.

Comfortable and relaxing
Pros:

Very comfy bed and room. Shower was good. Food from the restaurant was tasty and reasonably priced, although did take a while to arrive. Staff were friendly and helpful. Check-in process was straight forward with a complementary drink!

Cons:

Meals took a very long time to be delivered via room service. TV in the room didn't reach many channels and at some points it didn't show any channels. Restaurant didn't have some items on the menu. WIFI password was not written anywhere, WIFI was also patchy and came in and out.
