The facility was nice and clean, but, probably because of COVID and we were the only guests in the entire hotel, it was understaffed and amenities were little. While we were the only guests, our room was upstairs and far from the entrance, restaurant, and other facilities. And, while our room did have a partial view of the garden and Lake Victoria, it was mostly consumed by a roof with air conditioners facing our window... However, overall, we enjoyed the quiet and solitude of the hotel.

Great place to stay in Entebbe
Very nice, quiet, large and well equipped facility. Rooms were clean and spacious, made airport transportation easy. Close to Entebbe zoo, and water activities. Value for money much better than other hotels in the area. Little of nickel and diving by the establishment, adding 5% surcharge to any cc use, but otherwise good.

Good stay in Entebbe
Over Good stay, clean and very good service. Wi-fi free and fast. Front desk tries to stiff westerners with unnecessary expenses; example transportation, late check out and money exchange. Just be on the look out. I would stay there again.
