This hotel is comfortable (some rooms are way better than others however) and the location is excellent on the banks of lake Victoria. Our room was clean with AC and the bed was comfortable with a mosquito net. The restaurant is good and the bar is very lively with great atmosphere. The service is somewhat average and they should improve... More

Only downside, iffy hot water supply, that aside, it was a very pleasant experience.

We stayed one night as part of a package tour so can't comment on the price. The room was functional with good shower and nice balcony with a view.
