A slice of paradise.
Pros:

Fabulous Boutique Hotel. Spotlessly clean throughout. Amazing staff. Excellent food. A big thank you to Jacky, Catherine, and Agnes.

Cons:

There is nothing to dislike. My only comment would be: as a solo traveller I found it a very lonely place to be. I was the only guest there at the time. It is also a 20 minute Boda Boda ride to downtown Kampala.

This hotel is a fabulous place for couples who want a tranquil location in a beautiful setting (the garden is fabulous).

Home away from home
Pros:

The breakfast and staff were excellent. Serene, beautiful place and very clean. The hold experience makes you feel like you at home, except you have an entire staff serving you.

Cons:

The beds can be much more comfortable. I would rate it as excellent if the beds were more comfortable.

Beautiful facility and warm staff to match!
Pros:

The staff were really friendly and accommodated my requests. Food portions were large and they served it Ugandan-style, which is rare in comparable hotels. Amazing views, especially as it was Diwali when I stayed there.

Cons:

Phone network is not so good.

AWESOME AND VALUE FOR MONEY
Pros:

The hotel is excellent and the images are an accurate representation. The breakfast and meals in general are always superb. The only downside is the location as it is a little bit off road but the road is mostly accessible.

Cons:

Just the location, as I was having a challenge with Uber initially. This could, however, be because one of the access roads was closed for repairs and Google Maps had not picked it up. Otherwise, the road is accessible.
