I had a lovely stopover at this historic hotel that beautifully showcases the colonial era. The rooms were nice and comfortable, although situated near a busy main road that could be a bit noisy. The staff was amazing, always eager to help and provide a pleasant experience. The food was good, and I appreciated the warm hospitality, but the Wi-Fi connection was lacking in my room. Overall, it was a memorable stay with charming historical vibes and delightful service.

Masindi Hotel is a charming old colonial establishment with a rich history, offering a comfortable stay for travelers. While the rooms are appealing, noise from the power generator can be quite disruptive, especially for certain rooms. The dining experience was enjoyable, and the lovely grounds provided a nice place to relax. However, the hotel felt a bit dated and overpriced for Uganda, which could be a drawback for some guests.
