The location in the large and relatively peaceful grounds of Makerere University is great. The staff are lovely and welcoming and the place is clean
On reviews I saw the manager had promised to make the showers good - no hanging wires - however this was not true and my shower didn't work at all. Also WiFi was only working in the dining area and even there was weak.

The staff were lovely, and the bed was comfortable. The meals were pretty basic and there was little choice in 'restaurant' meals. However, the food tasted good.
The one electrical point in the room was broken, and hanging from the wall. The electric fan was broken. WiFi was only reliable in the dining room.

Simple, clean, extremely friendly and supportive staff
Electricity shortages without clear notice. Fair, understable but I would have appreciated to be notified of this issue ahead.

The room was ok just comfortable the facility was perfect though. And the food at the restaurant was just ok. But the public toilet was smelling when I passed in the front, which disappointed me a lot...

good location, friendly staff
Before staying I had enquired through Bookingcom what time breakfast is. the Manager answered 7am. As I had to leave before 8am, I went to a dining room just before 7am. Found only cleaners doing their job. They said it would be 730am....

The staff were friendly and efficient. The food was delicious and the common spaces were pleasant. The location is fantastic for working at the university.
The hot water heater in the shower does not seem safe. It had exposed wires and made a burning smell. It was impossible to close the windows that gave out from the bathroom to the corridor for privacy. I would have appreciated a safe in the room to secure valuables.

Naked wires over metal pipes in bathroom for clients to bath is unacceptable. I was almost electrocuted. Old worn out towels, bath tab old. Bad lighting in the room. No light were table is position. In Room 3 where I stayed I had to change the position of the table in order to work in the evening
