JohnNLThe place to be in Kampala!
Een fantastische plek midden in Kampala op loopafstand van Acacia mall en diverse restaurants.
Ongelooflijk hoe men te midden van de chaos van Kampala zo'n rustig en relaxed plek heeft weten te creëren.

VandewalleBelgiumAmazing chill hub!
Great place, fun activities, amazing food and chill bar!
Staff is super friendly and helpful.
Bushpig backpackers should invest in new bed frames, mattrasses and blankets. They are old and overused.
AfaqUnited KingdomOverall good but bad WiFi
Clean, near the centre, great and helpful staff, hot water and safe ( they had a guard at the entrance at all times)

KimUnited StatesGood value,
Bar/restaurant was reasonably priced and an easy place to connect with other guests
Towels and sheets were clean but smell sweaty. Could use a good wash with bleach to kill the germs. Toilets could use more frequent…
