    The staff here are always super friendly, and the room is kept nice and peaceful. It's a quick 20-minute walk to the city center, so the location is convenient. Plus, there's a great restaurant not too far away from the hotel where you can grab a delicious meal! 🍽️

    The location of this place was so convenient, I was mind-blown! And the cleanliness of the rooms? Jaw-dropping! Not a speck of dirt anywhere. And let me tell you, the food - oh my goodness, it was super tasty and delicious. The plates themselves were like a work of art. The convenience shop had everything we needed, I was so impressed. My kids and I had such a comfortable stay, especially with the three beds in the room. No sharing beds, thank goodness! Chance, the receptionist, did an amazing job taking care of us. Unfortunately, he was gone when we left. But overall, the location was great - so quiet and close to everything we needed. The rooms were beautifully designed and perfect for a restful sleep after a long drive. And parking? Plenty of space! I strongly recommend this place if you're in town for a short or business visit. It has all the facilities you need and the in-house restaurant serves really good food. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and I can't wait to stay here again.

    The breakfast buffet at this hotel is a feast fit for a king! It's like being in the Land of Plenty with all the delicious Middle Eastern, local, and international cuisines available. You won't leave the dining area without feeling like you've conquered a culinary adventure.

    Noise from neighboring clubs.

    This hotel offers good value for money. The prices are reasonable, and the staff is helpful and friendly. The location is very good if you want to stay in a calmer area. Additionally, the hotel has basic amenities and attention to detail.

    The only aspect that could be improved is the breakfast, as it was a little slow.

    This hotel is in a prime location, situated near a beautiful golf course and shopping mall. You'll find yourself close to many great restaurants making dining easy. The hotel is also conveniently near most places, so getting around is a breeze.

    The breakfast menu could use some variety for guests looking for more options.

Additionally, the hotel was conveniently situated near a beautiful golf course and a shopping mall. I was also delighted to find that there were many great restaurants close by which served delicious food. Lastly, the hotel's staff were fantastic - always smiling and very helpful.

    A great location in the heart of Kololo, close to many fantastic restaurants. The breakfast at Explorers Hub is delicious, with organic vegetables and freshly brewed coffee. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were very helpful in ensuring I had a mosquito net. Despite some noise from neighboring clubs at night, the overall experience was pleasant. I would highly recommend this hotel for a stay in Kampala.

    The breakfast was good and the accommodations were clean overall. the price was very reasonable.

    The room didn't have a mosquito net. When I asked for one, they told me there were no mosquitos in the area, which clearly wasn't true.
