    Very dark rooms. A bit expensive since it is Uganda. Matched pricing in many European cities, but didn’t fully match their standards.

    Nice place, in a nice neighbourhood. Great with restaurant and shop at the place.

    WiFi in my room didn’t work very well. Around the whole place it was unstable.

    This is a great place to stay if you are looking for a high-quality, budget hotel with clean private rooms, a central/good location, and good nutritious food. It’s a little more expensive than a hostel private room, but the attached restaurant REVIVE is such a good selling point. All staff were super friendly and chill for my stay. No drama - Frank was especially super nice and was very flexible with my booking! Highly recommend if you are not wanting to splurge too much, but still want comfort and privacy.

    A nice, clean, comfortable hotel in one of the best locations in town. The Acacia Mall is a short ride away, many great restaurants are around. the area is quiet and the service is good. The room is comfortable (we took the better one on the second floor), but we found it to be a bit smallish and the shower - though hot and powerful - is not well planned. Breakfast is excellent and the price makes this hotel affordable and well worth. Recommended.

    Our room was close to the metal staircase and was sometimes noisy because of that.

    Good location and green environment within the city. Friendly stuff and I like the outdoor gym.

    Not the hotel but the Revive restuarant which was also nice and with good food and staff, but no local food menu? Would be nice to include one or two local dishes on the menu but otherwise a super nice place as well :) The pictures of the standard/standard double should also be updated. I had to upgrade as soon as i got there. Worth upgrading if you can. Worth it.

    Interesting first day but no need to get into the details. From then onwards the stay was super comfortable and worth the money. Super nice staff and owners and always willing to help and very attentive. Would definitely stay there again.

    No complaints on my part. The price / qualithy was super, you get what you pay for so don't expect the sheraton

    The restaurant of the hotel is super, the breakfast was great and step me up for the day. In the evenings they have a good choose of mains to finish off your day. Any slight issues I had were dealt with directly. Staff were very nice and friendly

    Very friendly staff who greeted me late in the evening after mechanical issues during my drive to Kampala. The restaurant was open till 11pm and cooked a lovely burger with fries for me at 10:30pm. Superb breakfast too. Location also very quiet and convenient. Would recommend.

    Very humble staff, Shevan, Chance and the other other guy at the reception,sorry i forgot the name were exceptional. Ready to assist and give you ideas on everything. The owner upgraded me without a second guess. Simple breakfast but very well balanced. Its location is superb and accessible to major places especially those who love to walk. The security for the night is such a vibe. I recommend the place to everyone who is looking for a place to stay in Kampala. I will be back !!

    I didn’t like the express room (too narrow, small window), so I did an upgrade to premium, a good choice. I wasn’t impressed by the breakfast, but it was okay.

    The premium room is totally worth the money. You pay a bit more compared to the express room, but you get much more for it (ac, mosquito net, desk, nice chair, balcony, etc.). The restaurant is organic, creative and good, has many different dishes and great coffee.

    Staff are attentive, but a request for a kettle in the room was not fulfilled. There was some noise from construction work, which staff could have advised about and perhaps placed one in a quieter room.

    Nice to be next to an organic food shop with a range of products.
