Pros:

The staff are professional and pleasant.

The location is ideal and the food delicious.

The hotel restaurant has activities most week nights such as quiz night, live band etc which makes for a nice vibe.

I loved the balcony outside my room.

De beste locatie van Kampala
Pros:

De locatie van dit hotel ( in vergelijking met 3-4 andere hotels veel duurder!) maakte het verschil
Het is geen luxe hotel, maar wel aangenaam omgeving, zeer veilig, vriendelijk personeel, de mooiste buurt van Kampala en toch dichtbij alle faciliteiten

Cons:

Het was Africa Cup op dat moment. Ik kon niet van op mijn kamer naar een march kijken, om maar iets negatiefs te zeggen

Explorers Hub was een prettige en comfortabele thuisbasis voor een paar dagen Kampala!
Pros:

Fijn hotel, zowel de kamer als de faciliteiten. De tuin in de binnenruimte gaf een fijne sfeer, en het aangrenzende restaurant was makkelijk en lekker.

Room smelt of urine becsuse of leaky toilet, and staff unwilling to do anything about it.
Pros:

Was in kololo

Cons:

Room smelt of urine because there was a leak in the toilet. Told the receptionist several times that my room smells and they told me that they don’t have any other rooms available even though on booking.com it showed that they had several rooms available.
