Top Kawempe Hotel Reviews

Lake Victoria Serena Golf Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"The location was perfect for our needs. Quiet and comfortable at night when we needed it to be, The food was OK and room service being available 24 hrs helped when we arrived in the early morning. The reason I rate our stay 4 stars is because across the board there were issues of cleanliness, functioning of the room phone, speed of room service, housekeeping and noise control. I would stay here again so the inconveniences were not enough to dissuade us. We stayed at the Serena location in the city previously and that was impeccable so our bar might be influenced by that."
