Close to the Airport
Pros:

It is very close the airport and therefore our small stay made it easy. They arranged a complimentary shuttle service to pick us up and staff was friendly.

Beautiful Hotel
Pros:

We stayed here basically with just enough time for a very late dinner and sleep. The hotel was clean, beautiful, spacious and had an amazing view. It's right on the lake!
The pool area was gorgeous! The staff was friendly! The service was very slow at the bar and restaurant, but what they made was tasty. Only complaint was that it took 1/2 hour to get my drink at the bar. It was delicious, but not sure why it took so long.
I would recommend this Protea hotel.

No quiet place to be
Pros:

The pool is nice but it is totally overcrowded by children! There is no chance you can relax at the pool.

Rapport qualité prix très décevant
Pros:

Parking et emplacement

Cons:

A notre arrivée, la clim de la première chambre ne fonctionnait pas correctement. On a dû changer de chambre après plus de 30 minutes. Ce n'est pas acceptable pour un hotel de cette catégorie.
Le mode "swing" de la clim ne marchait pas dans les deux chambres.

Le check out à 10 heures n'est pas non plus digne de ce standard ce devrait être 12h comme dans tous les établissements de ce standards.

Pas de clim dans la salle de restaurant où il fait très chaud au petit déjeuner

Il n'y a qu'un ascenseur, vous devez traverser tout l'hôtel pour le prendre, ce n'est pas du tout bien pensé

Pas de boisson de bienvenue à l'arrivée



Le rapport qualité prix est très peu satisfaisant. Pour 347 USD la nuit, on s'attend à beaucoup mieux.

Convenient, clean and comfortable
Pros:

Conveniently located near to the airport with free airport shuttle. It is a large hotel but quite empty mid week. The views over Lake Victoria are stunning. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The bathroom was good, strong hot shower, with basic amenities. We dined in Tides in the evening which was delicious but a bit pricey (expected in an airport hotel). Breakfast was very good. Check-in and reception were very good.

Is ok but could be higher standard given the price
Pros:

- Very good breakfast
- Great location
- Good gym just next to the lake with view over the lake

Cons:

- Price is high given standard
- Bathroom needs upgrading - e.g. only top shower and no hand-held option is not really ok at this price level
- Kids playground and pepsi umbrellas visually ruin the "victoria lake lodge" feel
