Mt Zion is the place where you get rid of all your hard days , it deserve being rated as 5 stars
Pros:

Little words about Mt. Zion
If you are looking for a place where the pulse of Kampala softens into a welcoming hum, Mt. Zion Hotel is exactly that. My recent stay here was more than just a booking; it was a genuine experience of Ugandan hospitality that felt both personal and professional.
From the moment I arrived, I was struck by several key highlights:
The Atmosphere: Finding a spot in a bustling city that manages to be truly quiet and serene is a rarity. Mt. Zion offers a peaceful retreat that allows you to recharge fully after a long day of meetings or sightseeing.
The Staff: "Hospitable" is an understatement. The team here is incredibly friendly and attentive, greeting guests with the kind of warmth that makes you feel like a regular, even on your first visit.
Quality & Comfort: The rooms are impeccably clean and well-maintained, striking that perfect balance between modern functionality and a cozy, "home-away-from-home" feel.
Exceptional Value: In a city where prices can skyrocket for quality accommodation, the rates here are remarkably reasonable. You truly get premium service without the luxury price tag.
Whether you are in Kampala for business or leisure, I cannot recommend this hotel enough. It’s a gem that delivers on every promise

Cons:

Nothing

Good
Pros:

The staff was really helpful. I had to change rooms both nights I stayed and the staff were able to get another room within a few minutes.
It is a 10 minute walk from the East Africa Craft market. A great place to buy souvenirs.

Cons:

The rooms were a bit old. The main issue with the first room for each day I stayed was the power didn't work properly with the room card.
The restaurant had good choices but quite expensive in comparison to other options in the area.

Cons:

They allocate a different room than the one on the booking.com and have explain to be given the correct room.
The exchange rate used was exceedingly high. Was charged in UGX after converting using their rate.
I wanted to be charged n USD.
