The lakeside garden and air freshness is what always brings us back. An excellent swimming pool, proximity to the Zoo and a 10 minute walk up the hill leads to nice restaurants and craft shops. Thanks

The location was great - right on Lake Victoria and close to the mall and the Botanical Gardens. The staff was very helpful, particularly with our COVID testing. We enjoyed the restaurant, in particular the buffet breakfast.

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.
