Good value for money and excellent location with a great rooftop terrace. Stayed there in 2016 and 2019 and enjoyed it both times. Bring earplugs as it can get loud due to the neighbourhood. Showers not always warm. Tasty breakfast and helpful staff. A great base for Kampala. Would come stay again

Friendly staff and very safe feel. Creative design with good communal lounge space, and some comfortable spots to read/ work. Very close to acacia mall (where you’ll find everything you could need) and a lot of good (but expensive) restaurants. If coming at night, it’s a little hard to find so it’s good to figure that out ahead of time or have a car/boda who knows where they are going.

Great location, comfy beds and friendly staff. Only let down was that there was nowhere to lock or stuff and the room keys had all been lost. Would have been nicer to have a little more security for our valuables.

Friendly staff. Love that the beds are actually quite big for single beds. Water isn't warm for showers but could have just been the time of day I went. Good location

Had the private room - not quite what you expect for the price we paid. The staff was super helpful and great vibe overall. The shared showers and toilets were clean and breakfast was nice.

The location is perfect and the crowd is great, but the WiFi and electricity went off all the time. Sometimes there was no hot water so cold showers. The staff was incredibly kind and accommodating though, and food was good.

Perfectly Sized Property... Not too large & not too small. Just Perfect. Feels so HOMELY. Conveniently closer to ATM/ MALL/ FOOD & DRINK/ BARS & PUBS. Overall feels like a Home away from Home with a Cozy RoofTop to chillout under da Stars & a couple of nice little Courtyards open to Sky.

The room was super, the area is super. I usually dont like to give bad recommendations, But The woman at the receptuon was SO unfriendly and arrogant. It was my First time arriving in Uganda and because of her i would not recommend that place. Hope she just had a bad Day... I was there from 18th to 19th of february 18
