It was just an overnight stay before flying back to London so nothing else mattered. The description and photographs on Hotels.com are misleading. The staff were friendly and there was space to relax but there was not much in the way of a fully stocked Bar. The room was clean and the bed was Ok.

I was the messy one . Room was clean and fan was enough to cool room in evening . Shower was like many hotels in Uganda without shower curtain so you must be careful or you will get tp wet but you get used to it . The staff were special and went out of their way to prepare food and anything we bought ourselves like watermelon . Anything we asked for was brought immediately . They were kind and a pleasure to deal with. This is my 2nd . stay with them and I was prepared better this year . Pick you up at airport and deliver there again on departure, and my plane was delayed an hour in Addis . A very fair price and I will probably stay there before my departure and next time arriving . The TV was a different programming and many channels were the same but in different languages . No sports , or movies or regular TV but I was busy so didnt watch much.

The sitting area outside was nice and great to unwind after a busy day .Nice for breakfast in the morning as well . Some noisy birds but they are everywhere lol. Great place for the money .

Property was hard to find. A wrong location was posted on Expedia site. It took 2 hours to find the hotel, which is more like a little bed and breakfast ran by the family. Room and bath room were dirty

ISSUE WITH BREAKFAST

GENERALLY GOOD QUALITY FOR THIS PRICE, MOSQUITO NETS IN WINDOWS MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE BUT...INCLUDED BREAKFAST IS VERY POOR. ONLY 2 EGGS PER PERSON AND BREAD. THATS ALL. ENGLISH BREAKFAST THAT IS ADVERTISED ON THEIR PROFILE (HOTELS.COM APP) IS NOT AVAILABLE. SHAME

Exceptional customer service. The hotel's shuttle personnel was there waiting for me to get out of the airport. I jokingly asked if there have a late (1:00 AM) dinner because I was starving, and my joke turned out to be true. A very highly well-prepared late dinner was available. This is unique for this hotel because most hotels I have been close the kitchen at 9-10 PM.

We arrived in the afternoon with the intentions of getting some sleep before some of our party had to go to the airport for an early flight. The staff were very friendly, helpful and kind. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The WiFi was good and the bed comfortable. We were completely comfortable and would definitely stay again if circumstances dictated it.
Breakfast was very good and served quickly and with a smile.

Price and location and shuttle to airport were nice. Room was clean. Noisy with doors slamming. Room filled with smoke most of the evening from a wood fire somewhere. If I hadn’t been so tired I would have checked to see if building was on fire. Shuttle driver took us to airport in utter silence at 2:15 am. Awkward.

Nightmare

Terrible experience at this hotel during our approximately half hour stay there. We arrived there about 11:00 p.m. Very low budget place. I don't understand where all of the good reviews came from. We checked in and we're shown to our room. Within just a few minutes we realized there were multiple dogs in neighboring buildings and they were barking Non-Stop. Even though we use ear plugs there is no way we could have slept through that. I told the owner that we have to leave due to the dog noise. He offered another room across the hall but you could still hear dogs barking from that room as well. The owner walked away and said nothing more. We decided that we cannot stay there. Fortunately there was an Uber in the area to take us to another hotel. We gathered our belongings and started to walk out the door. The owner then came out and just said the word \"wow\" as as we walked away to our Uber. After some searching we found another hotel but didn't get checked in until 12:30 a.m. Obviously I do not recommend this place in this barking dog friendly neighborhood.
