    varied breakfast
    poor staff service
    food quality

    The breakfast buffet consistently delighted with its variety and taste.

    I encountered significant issues with staff service during my four-night stay. The staff seemed poorly trained, and their attitudes often felt dismissive rather than welcoming. Additionally, I faced problems with the clarity of billing and the quality of food served, leaving me quite disappointed overall.

    noise issue

    I had a lovely stay at mestil hotel & residences during my visit to uganda. The executive room was spacious and had a nice kitchenette. The gym and the breakfast buffet with its variety were highlights that exceeded my expectations.

    the noise from events affected my rest.

    modern design
    delicious breakfast
    well-equipped gym
    room change

    The building and facilities impressed me with their modern design. I loved the One-Bedroom Suite. it offered a comfy sitting area and a spacious layout. Breakfast consistently delighted with its variety and taste, especially the fresh coffee. I took advantage of the gym, which was well-equipped and had everything I needed for a good workout. A minor downside was that during my stay, I experienced a room change due to flooding. Although the manager handled the situation kindly, it disrupted my night. The second room was nice, but some fixtures didn’t work as expected, including a troublesome bedroom door. Despite these issues, the overall friendliness of the staff and the ambiance kept my spirits up throughout the visit.

    exceptional cleanliness
    disorganized check-in

    Our stay was characterized by exceptional cleanliness and luxury, with a buffet that was a delightful highlight every day. The fitness center was well-equipped, allowing us to unwind and stay active, while the accommodating staff made our experience even more enjoyable.

    The hotel could benefit from a more organized check-in process to enhance the guest experience.

    Highly recommended for families

    The staff were helpful, always ready to assist with a smile. The breakfast? Lovely! They had fresh pastries that melted in your mouth!

    It wasn’t inexpensive, but considering the quality, it was reasonable.

    I had a fantastic 4-night stay with spacious rooms and an incredible breakfast buffet that I couldn't get enough of. Though some amenities were missing, all else made it worthwhile, and I'd definitely return!
