“The hotel presents a curious blend: a boutique property with a garden feel, near Kampala's business district. Its spa promises relaxation, yet thin doors and leaky bathrooms suggest some trade-offs. I think it's a solid choice for travelers who prioritize greenery and don't mind a bit of unevenness.”
