Pros:

Fajny basen, idealny do schłodzenia się w gorącym dniu. Ładna okolica domków, sporo zieleni, fajny widok z restauracji na miasto. Pokoje schludne i dość duże. Bardzo dobre śniadanie bufetowe: jajka, bekon, naleśniki, jogurt, owoce, kawa.

Cons:

Nasz pokój był w drugim obiekcie do którego trzeba było przejść przez ulicę, wieczorem taki powrót nie był do końca komfortowy.

We have stayed her several times and find it a very comfortable and homely place to stay.
Pros:

The location was perfect for us as we were travelling for business. The breakfast was good but both food and coffee could have been warmer.

Pros:

The hotel was clean and the breakfast in the morning was good. The Staff were very pleasant and helpful throughout my stay

Cons:

They were under construction and the way to my room was in a hill and the way was dangerous especially after dark.
Should have given me a different room for the same price I booked on the Internet.

Worst breakfast I've had in Uganda
Pros:

The location is good with a nice view.

Cons:

The breakfast was cheap and unavailable. On the second day they made a buffet that was enough for one table with a group of 6. When me and my girlfriend got to breakfast, around 09:20 the food was almost finished. The pancakes , coffee, eggs and sausages were gone. We were expected to eat what was left (dry cereals or fruits). We had to specify that we need more stuff. On the first day we had to beg for a decent breakfast because they were serving a la carte. But not the regular cart, but a largely reduced breakfast menu, from which you could choose just 3 items. Overall, a pathetic breakfast that left us feeling like we were scavenging for food.
