“weekend at sunset”
+the hotel staff are warm and welcoming. good breakfast. few things noted: 1. the hotel needs to be refurbished especially the bathrooms. 2. introduce some cashless modes of payment like VISA or mobile payment, we had to go withdraw money from an ATM because the VISA machine was faulty and mobile money payments they were not accepting. 3. revise the rates as it is only a 3* hotel with no wow factor.

“Short trip to jinja”
+Came with my Ugandan fiancee after our wedding introduction. Hotel doesn't look anything special,but the staff are friendly and helpful. We had dinner in the restaurant food was superb. We had a few drinks and dinner and the price was equivalent to £11.90 in GBP. I was amazed by the view of the Nile from our room but also from the restaurant. The rooms are clean and tidy and have AC. My only complaint would be the bed was like sleeping on a concrete slab it was rock hard and not comfortable. But overall a fantastic visit and would recommend this hotel to people. And a bonus is source of the Nile is a 2 minute walk away.

“Simplicity”
+The hotel was undergoing some paintwork during the stay but it didn't interfere in any way. Room was good, had to pay a bit extra for the room with a view of the bridge over the Nile, but was definitely worth it. Noteworthy that the room rate included some other taxes so first price isn't the final price. Room was clean, night peaceful and breakfast was exemplarily fresh. I would definitely stay again.

“Best Exotic Marigold of Uganda!”
+A slightly run down and quirky hotel where we spent four nights. Staff were very friendly and helpful with our group's queries. Room was clean and we received bottled water every day (2 X 500ml bottles) but not sure if this is consistent for all. My room had a balcony which overlooked the River Nile, saw some stunning sunsets. Took a walk down the steps along the railway track to the Nile River. Many people use this route for commuting purposes. Breakfast was varied - cooked and continental and Western diets catered for. Ate in the restaurant for some lunches and dinners - well priced and portion sizes are huge! Food tasted OK, a little hit and miss. Milkshakes went down well! WiFi signal not too bad. Overall a pleasant enough stay for what we paid.

“Wedding and accommodation”
+Really very good on the banks of the Nile. Staff so helpful to make a great success of the wedding event. Views are good and food good for both African and European taste. Rooms are comfortable with mosquito nets and good water pressure and hot water. You can pay by card here

“Our third visit and still a firm favourite”
+Our third visit to Uganda as a family in five years and Sunset is still our first choice as a base between short trips within the country. Some nice improvements since our last visit, e.g. flat screen TVs in both our rooms. WiFi is much improved with strong/fast signal in most common areas (but not more distant bedrooms). Still the same super-friendly and helpful staff (they remembered us!). Still the same menu of simple but well cooked food in plentiful portions. Still the same priceless view across the Nile from your balcony. (Not all rooms have this view, be sure to request it.) Recommended without reservation as your starting point to explore this wonderful country.

“Not a good value”
+Not a good value for the cost. Sure, it has AC & hot water, but you'll have to hold the shower head over your head to bathe (its not mounted) & hope you can find good batteries for the remote to turn on the AC. Bed has no headboard or posts to hold the mosquito net, so it drapes in your face all night. Bathroom light didn't work. Staff didn't attempt to change the bulb, but instead said to shower in another room. Price told over the phone did not include tax, thus actual price at checkout was 30k more than quoted. After one night, I left for another hotel for the next two nights of my stay in town.
