I highly recommend this hostel. It was clean, tidy, and in a quiet location, but many shops and restaurants were within walking distance. I liked it so much that I married one of the staff members there 😂

We've stayed here a number of times. Location is very quiet and serene. Apartments are very clean, spacious with great finishing. Friendly and responsive and extremely private area. I can go ahead and say maybe Entebbe road's best kept secret.
