“The BEST hotel in Kampala¿”
+Breakfast was okay to delicious. Once - and this is really nitpicking - there was no cutlery for the toast and jam... The first lime juice in the café and the Caesar salad in the bar were also really great. Four ladies - two chambermaids, one from the café, and one from reception - truly shone with their friendliness! A security guard also seemed quite friendly.
−Sorry for the other, rather above-average reviews of this hotel. For me, apart from a moldy guesthouse in northeastern Germany, it was the most pathetic accommodation I've ever experienced in terms of value for money. False promises and/or misleading, imprecisely worded offers on the hotel's website didn't prevent a few arguments. It started with a 25% markup through Booking.com. My supposed bargain of $65 per night via Booking.com at what was supposedly the best hotel in Kampala turned out to be a room without a window, microwave, iron and ironing board, and no free access to the swimming pool, which led to an upgrade and the first room change. The hotel advertises different offers and prices on various websites. After paying an extra $10 per night, we entered the second room, which had a balcony and free access to the pool. Still no microwave, iron, or ironing board. Instead, there was a broken electrical outlet, rendering my phone charger unusable for the first few minutes. Furthermore, the room hadn't been thoroughly cleaned, and some of the plumbing fixtures were loose and not properly screwed in. Unfortunately, the mosquito nets on one side of the balcony were already broken.

+There’s a lot to like about this hotel. Breakfast, facilities.
−The facilities such as the gym should be included in the charge. Our towels smelled of smoke and the shower had very little water pressure.

“Pleasant but hidden charges”
+There’s a lot to like about this hotel, the location, breakfast, the facilities
−The facilities are not included in the stay price. And all rooms are stated as having air conditioning but they do not and we had to pay extra to be upgraded to an aircon room. Plus you pay to visit the gym

“Lovely stay at the Tick hotel. Would stay here again.”
+All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and comfortable.
−The shower over the bath was not the best. Couldn't get the right temperature either too hot or cold.

“More on the disappointing end”
+The room view
−Charged extra for using the pool and gym yet I was a hotel guest , room was on the 4th floor and the elevator was out of service so I had to use the stairs, very unreliable WiFi connection especially if you’re using Apple devices, nobody showed up for cleaning or provide extra bottled water there’s no kettle or anything provided in the room to make a tea/coffee

+Food was Ok
−I Was offered a dark room with no window which I declined!. A member of staff told me that there was no other standard rooms available. She insisted I should pay more and take up a luxury room! I refused and asked for a refund. At this point a room with a window was magically available! Not impressed 😕 😒
