This hotel was unable to work with my schedule adjustments, to be fair I had 2 of them, and they helped me with one. It was difficult for them Im sure, but because of that, I cancelled the entire trip. I did not stay with them, but I sure paid like I did.

Good option near Lake Victoria

Room was clean and up-to-date but the property was outdated with dirty carpet in some of the common areas. Good view of Lake Victoria from both rooms and property. Workout area was very new and a nice addition. Pool and spa on site were a nice option to have.

I was staying an extra night in Entebbe alone after a group trip all over Africa. I wanted a place I knew was safe and close to airport with a shuttle to get me there. I had almost a full day to relax so I was also looking for a place with a view and quiet. This was perfect. The staff is amazing... front desk, room service, dining room, fitness center, massage therapist, store clerk and shuttle driver! All of them... all wonderful. Bed was comfy, water was hot, room was perfect temperature, breakfast was wonderful, massage was relaxing...it was all great!!

Nice Hotel\nFriendly staff

A terrific place to stay but I found the room prices were too expensive. They also allow the public to use there facilities for a fee and that made it a very disruptive experience mainly on weekends at the pool.
For that I would not stay there over another weekend.

Likely the best hotel in Entebbe

I stayed here for 3 nights (2 nights in one room and a week later 1 night in a different room). Request a room facing lake Victoria. That room was modern and had a great view. Parking lot view room was dated and no view Hotel is just a few minutes from the airport. Service is friendly and professional. The hotel accommodated my request for rush laundry. Likely the best hotel in Entebbe. Visit the chimp sanctuary on Lake Victoria.
