Best value in the middle of Everything!

The EH is a fantastic value. Room was excellent- very clean, air cond was great, hot shower. The facilities - restaurant, gym, store in premises at Lee great. The best part, this hotel is smack in the middle of everything without the busy aspect found across most places in Kampala. If I go to Kampala again, definitely will stay there.

Tranquil garden delight in the middle of Kampala

The staff are super friendly. Restaurant was nice and food was delicious. Bed mattress is foam, not spring. The lighting in the room is very bright. Some bedside lamps would be really helpful. The garden areas make for a really tranquil setting. Overall, a fantastic stay. Thank you so much!

The room was so stuffy and smelly. Towel holder falling off the wall. On several Occasions reception not well attended to. Was given the impression that the room was executive but that was super crappy. I didn’t get my moneys worth

The service at the restaurant was not the best other than the gentleman at the barista. However, the service at the reception from Stella and a dark gentleman was good. The slippers in the rooms need to be cleaned.

Unique property with an urban farm and specialty local supermarket on site. The restaurant is amazing with a farm to table concept. The room is clean and comfortable but nothing fancy. Good location. Reccomend for business teavelers.
