Top Mbale Hotel Reviews

Casa Del Turista

Casa Del Turista

10/10 Excellent
"My room was spacious, clean and comfortable. I had a fan, hot water and even a balcony. The restaurant upstairs was fantastic helping me navigate their menu with food allergies. The rooftop views and coffee makes my soul happy. The staff were attentive and ensured all my needs were met. When the city power went out they had a generator ready to go. They can organise laundry as needed and Hannington was available no matter what I needed and Aisha was always attentive. The rooftop restaurant is handy for catching up with friends while staying there. The location makes it easy to get everywhere in town. They organised a day trip to Sipi Falls and transport at the end of my stay. I will definitely stay again."
