"Stayed at Hilton for 2 days and there services were very good, friendly staff and very helpful, airport pick up on time , nice restaurant and service, good meal and clean place to stay, very quiet place I really enjoyed my stay and I really recommend this place for anyone visiting the city of Kampala"

Mestil Hotels & Residences

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms were cleaned, and the staff were excellent. Everyone was willing to help. The only issue I noticed was noise due to lots of weddings that were ongoing at the property. There should be a way to have people having ceremonies and weddings in separate locations from the guests staying at the hotel. I used the SPA; the lady was very professional, and the room was cleaned."
