Hotel staff are the best, very pleasant, friendly and helpful. Location is excellent too, and clearly marked from the main street. The room size was good for the price. I booked a room with AC, and it cooled the room like a charm. Room is very quiet, despite the hotel being in a busy side of city centre, but you can't hear a thing inside the room.

Location - Location was accurate on the map and it's right next to the mall. Easy transport access to central (Kisutu) and ferry terminal. You can get many busses to different parts of the city. The place - safe and secure where you can meet different travellers. The WiFi works perfectly, it's clean and well maintained and there's running water. Staff make sure everything is functioning properly and has a really good kitchen with all the utensils. The staff are friendly and nice, who are eager to help you and give advice and there's a common room to relax and chill.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
